Didn't Reagan fuck every one with his full auto ban? Yep. Reagan was in a vacuum with no other forces at play... Especially no majority democrats... Reagan, in a vacuum, totally on his own enacted -with Democrats pleading for him not to- Reagan single-handedly banned autos. And things were good before, Reagan ruined everything. Before, you had to sign a bound book to buy ammo, you couldn't buy ammo through the mail. Things were good. Reagan ruined everything... 
Well... Sarcasm off... Reagan did give-and-take with majority-Democrats to push conservative ideals. When the dust settled on guns, gun owners had gained a great deal, and lost autos. Reagan, from any *honest* angle made things *better* for gun owners... Especially when compared to what the majority-anti-gun-Democrats wanted to begin with... If political give-and-take to push conservative goals forward bothers you... If political reality bothers you... If Ronald Effing Reagan bothers you... You are either a Democrat or a Retard. Political reality is that the Founding Fathers who were Northern abolitionists had to have give-and-take with the Southern Christian slaveholders to get the constitution signed in the first place... Give-and-take to do the right thing is part of our Republic. It was part of what made Reagan so great. The Reagan-haters like to point out that Reagan wasn't perfect. They like to leave-out that he was dealing with Democrats who were pushing and pulling in opposite directions. Reagan-haters like to ignore blatant political reality to get their cheap-shots in... The truth... Reagan was far from perfect. Reagan's accomplishments need to be weighed against the political climate at the time. The political climate at the time was that democrats controlled congress... And the political reality was that we lost autos but gained a great-deal in other areas due to Reagan's highly-effective skills of political give-and-take to push for conservative ideals forward. Reagan was good at it, and gun rights were a net-gain under Reagan... |

Personally he had many faults, but one of them was not his love of country, lhis love of our system, his love of Americans. Who would think that a B list actor who grew up in a small Illinois town, went to a small Illinois college, who had been divorced, a one time FDR democrat, would end up being one of the finest presidents we've ever had? I agree. Reagan is the only Presidential candidate I have actually voted for, instead of voting against "that other dude".
You guys said it better than I could have. Wish I would have been old enough to have voted for him. I was 7 when he was elected president and still remember how happy my father was when it happened. Yes he had some views that I disagree with strongly today but he was a lot better than any we've had since. |

Quoted: How fortunate I am to have been born when I was. I grew up with 8 years of Mr. President and I didn't worry about the god-damned commies because I knew he had my back. No president since has inspired that kind of trust. No president since has inspired that kind of optimism. No president since has inspired that kind of fear in our enemies. They knew Reagan would kill them and they were right. He wasn't a perfect man but he was MY president. White House aids who had worked for previous Presidents actually said that Reagan was the must reluctant and fearful of nuclear war.

Some of you guys REALLY need to get your head wrapped around WHY it's called the "Hughes" amendment and not the "Reagan" amendment. The intent of the Firearms Owners Protection Act sure as fuck wasn't to ban MG's. It had a lot to do with the opinion that the ATF was out of control and was aimed at reining them in. I shouldn't even have to explain why that was a damn good idea. If you want to burn someone over it, at least burn the guy who actually fucked you on this one. The FOPA was supposed to fix the unconstitutional parts of the 1968 GCA, but the fucking Democrats don't get all nostalgic about "living documents" like the US Constitution, do they? |

From what I've seen, there are those that believe that. IMO either because they actually believe "all or nothing", or they are ill-informed of what happened back in 1986. The House was controlled by the Dems, and the Hughes Amendment was a shit move by the anti-gun crowd. IMHO, had Reagan vetoed FOPA it would have been on like donkey kong, and the subsequent legislation attempts would have been even less advantageous to gun owners. Shitty deal, but I think it was the best deal we could get in the political climate of the day. Some people forget that it was only 8 years later that the Dems were able to get the AWB. |

Reagan imposed a moratorium on all new federal regulation enforcement the moment he took office. In fact, the Reagan administration began slashing and burning existing federal regulation; it cut the Federal Register nearly in half by 1986. This is what we need from any new POTUS.....Good luck with that. Regulation is control, for both sides.

I was 10 when he was elected, 18 when he left. Good times indeed. Friend and I were traveling in Europe when he got elected. We got off the boat from Rotterdam the morning after the election jumped in a cab to the train station. We hadn't heard the news until it came over the cabs radio. Friend and I started cheering and pounding on each other while the cabbie shook his head and said "Bloody crazy Yanks". Later in the week we were in Edinburgh, we stopped in a pub and once the proprietor found out we were 'Merican we literally could not pay for a pint. His first question to us had been Ach, this Mr. Reagan, what do you think of him? We answered we think he is great he'll do a bang up job, he responded, Yeah, I agree, that Mr. Carter, he's a Wee man. |

I was born in 83, so unfortunately, I grew up under Klinton.
I guess you could call it rose colored glasses, but I remember the 80's as being full of hope. Granted, there were bad things happening as there always is. Reagan, as with Bush II, genuinely seemed to love the USA, there was hope in his speeches. Not the vitriol and utter hate that Obama has in his speeches. I'm to the point that I have no hope for my soon to be born son. The country is truly changing for the worse I believe. We are being told to believe in being less, that we as Americans, are not the greatest country in the world. |

Reagan is a fascinating enigma. He stood for conservative family values, yet his own family was a dysfunctional mess and he was our first divorced president. The religous right loved him, yet he almost never went to church and as best anyone can tell hadn't been a church member since his teens. A fiscal conservative that increased spending, taxes and the deficit all at the same time. Everyone thought they knew Ronald Reagan but he did not have one single close personal friend, other than his wife Nancy.
Reagan was a big picture guy. The details of governing bored him. He left much of that to others and was not always well served by them. He was a good president for the times. He may yet be called a great president. |

Last non-Ivy League educated POTUS since his time in office.

Things suck now, but I thank God every day that I lived in the time of Reagan.

Quoted: How fortunate I am to have been born when I was. I grew up with 8 years of Mr. President and I didn't worry about the god-damned commies because I knew he had my back. No president since has inspired that kind of trust. No president since has inspired that kind of optimism. No president since has inspired that kind of fear in our enemies. They knew Reagan would kill them and they were right. He wasn't a perfect man but he was MY president. ) but, I was happy to serve under him in my RA days. |

Had the same thought last week. It is refreshing to know that they were fighting a similar fight to our current struggle. We just have added 50 years of zero's to it. |

The sad reality is that if someone exactly like him tried to run today, most of arfcom would viscously tear him apart.
His position toward immigration, the fact that he used to be a Democrat, his strong Hollywood connection, his divorce, signing a pro-abortion bill while Governor, etc. ... would all be brought up as examples of how he's not a REAL conservative, or how he just flip-flops to please voters, etc. He would be savaged for being a "RINO" far more than someone like Romney ever was. |
