...and forget that little video piece you filmed after you left office expressing your support for the Brady bill, and the fact that the 1986 MG ban came in under your watch.

Insofar as the FOPA of 1986 is concerned, the machine gun ban was a last-minute, last-ditch effort by the DEMOS to destroy the bill. Put the blame squarely on the folks who insisted on its inclusion in the final bill, not the President, who signed the bill despite the ban!
Or would you still like the idea of producing an ID and signing for ammunition the way it used to be? Or the fact that FFLs could not sell firearms away from their store locations?
Say goodbye to gunshows!
I could never bring myself to chide Reagan for finally supporting the Brady Bill under the circumstances that he most likely faced - Sarah Brady, and her brain-damaged 'Bear', sitting in his living room in Bellaire, most likely begging for his support, all the while intimating that he was, to some degree, responsible for Brady's condition!
But I see you have no problem blaming President Reagan for this!
How do you feel about the collapse of the Soviet Union? Did that make you sleep better at night?
If it did, then you and your children can thank President Reagan!
Just look back and see what the rest of the world was saying during the Reagan Presidency - the Soviet Union was a fact of life that we would face for the foreseeable future!
Strobe Talbot, the 'Soviet Expert', said in an interview back in 1982, that the Soviets would be a force to be reckoned with, forever, and that we should forget any attempt at thinking otherwise!
Lees than 10 years later, the Soviets had imploded! Way to go, Strobe!
BTW, Clinton made Strobe his 'Russian Expert'!
Apparently, liberals never have to pay for their mistakes!
