BTW, Reagan signed the Brady Bill, so I guess that makes him a RINO.


No, he signed Volkmer McClure, which means that all future generations will essentially be disarmed of having the kinds of arms that our standing army carries.

The law in 1986 stated that no more full-auto arms can be made for civilian ownership perpetually thereafter. It means that such arms have become extremely expensive, and even at those prices they will become progressively obsolete as the generations pass.

Which comports with the gun-grabber's notion that the 2nd amendment doesn't apply to modern arms, but only to muzzle-loaders.

Bush 41 also sold out by banning the importation of many self-loading rifles.

Clinton sold out with the AWB.

Bush 43 sold out by saying he would sign reauthorization of the AWB.

You die-hard Republicans had better start picking more principles candidates if you want your guys to get our votes.

That's not all the law did, it's other name was the Firearm Owners Protection Act, and it removed many of the '68 gun control act restrictions, such as on interstate purchase of ammunition and the requirement to show an ID and have the purchase recorded, when purchasing handgun ammunition. The Machine Gun ban was a very last minute addition to the bill.
