[QUOTE="Ace_on_the_Turn, post: 2133492, member: 27417"] Presidents supporting gun control\restrictions is not a new concept. Here's Reagan supporting the Brady Bill: [URL="http://www.nytimes.com/1991/03/29/opinion/why-i-m-for-the-brady-bill.html"]http://www.nytimes.com/1991/03/29/opinion/why-i-m-for-the-brady-bill.html[/URL] Reagan signed the Firearm Owners Protection Act, which banned fully automatic weapons (existing ones were grandfathered, of course) Reagan, along with Ford and Carter, signed a letter to congress that included this: To Members of the U.S. House of Representatives: We are writing to urge your support for a ban on the domestic manufacture of military-style assault weapons. This is a matter of vital importance to the public safety. Ford wanted to ban certain firearms: I had always opposed federal registration of guns or the licensing of gun owners, and as President, I hadn't changed my views. At the same time, I recognized that handguns had played a key role in the increase of violent crime. Not all handguns-just those that hadn't been designed for sporting purposes. I asked Congress to ban the manufacture and sale of these "Saturday night specials." Bush (the second) on background checks: I dont think we ought to be selling guns to people who shouldnt have them. Thats why I support instant background checks at gun shows. Theres a lot of talk about trigger locks being on guns sold in the future, I support that, and so were distributing them in our state of Texas for free. And of course, Clinton signed the AWB.
