“I do not believe in taking away the right of the citizen for sporting,
for hunting and so forth, or for home defense. But I do believe that an
AK-47, a machine gun, is not a sporting weapon or needed for defense of
a home.�

~Ronald Reagan, at his birthday celebration in 1989.

As governor of California, Ronald Reagan signed the Mulford Act, which
prohibited the carrying of firearms on your person, in your vehicle, and
in any public place or on the street, and he also signed off on a 15-day
waiting period for firearm purchases. “There’s no reason why on the
street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons,� Reagan said
at the time, according to Salon.com.

In 1986 as president, he signed into law the Firearm Owners Protection
Act, which “banned ownership of any fully automatic rifles that were not
already registered on the day the law was signed.�

After leaving the presidency, he supported the passage of the Brady bill
that established by federal law a nationwide, uniform standard of a
7-day waiting period for the purchase of handguns to enable background
checks on prospective buyers.

In 1991 Reagan wrote an Op-Ed piece in the New York Times stating his
support for the Brady Bill and noted that if the Brady Bill had been in
effect earlier, he never would have been shot. He also urged then
President H.W. Bush to drop his opposition to the bill and lobbied other
members of Congress to support the bill.

In 1994 Reagan wrote to Congress urging them to listen to the American
public and to the law enforcement community and support a ban on the
further manufacture of military-style assault weapons.

There are plenty of examples of Reagan betraying his more conservative
constituents but Nixon was the worst.

Well, I never fell for Reagan's charm, and I thought Nixon with all his
defects was among the brightest of presidents, but both of them were far
higher up on the ladder of humanity than the two absolute and dangerous
bozos currently leading in the GOP nomination race.

Mondale might have been better than anyone running this time on both
sides and he was an empty suit.

The current crop is making Kerry and Mitt look good. That is certainly
a vote for empty suits.

Most AK-47's, like mine, are not "machine guns". Next topic...

Actually all AK 47s are machine guns. The things people call AK 47s
aren't AK 47s, they just look a little like them and share the basic
design.
I knew a guy with an AK 47 (genuine early Russian manufacture, not an
AKM )and it was a very rare piece. It was a war trophy from Vietnam
that was put into the registry in the 1968 amnesty and became
transferrable. Very few were registered and none were legally imported
as far as I know. They pretty much all got smuggled in, stashed on
duffle bags. Few guys knew enough to get them into the registry.

Isn't that the damn truth! I hadn't looked at it that way, but I think I'd vote for
Kerry over any of the bunch that's running right now, and I don't like Kerry very
much. IMHO, he's been doing a decent job lately, and he's not continuously patting
himself on the back like Hillary and Krause.
