Something about the GOP/Guns/Reagan bothers me.

Republicans tout Reagan as one of the greatest Presidents in recent US history. Republicans also demonize anyone who suggests/supports gun control legislation.

Reagan supported the 1986 assault weapons ban. He also supported the 7-day waiting period for handguns.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
Reagan really was a moderate by our standards.

He did return some power to the States, and his use of block grants instead of categorical grants is commendable, but he didn't do all that much to dismantle LBJ's Big Society.

But why do you think that's a good thing?
What makes you think I do?

Spoiler
Don't get me wrong, I do, but I'm just wondering whether you're getting that from my post or your knowledge of me.

I love the federal structure of the U.S., though as well as municipalism. States serve as great policy innovators,  and it's a shame when the federal government begins dictating what ought to be spent on what while dangling a carrot in front of their face.

 1986 assault weapons ban?

Oh, you mean the Firearm Owners Protection Act, which amended parts of the 1968 Gun Control Act. The GCA of 1968 gave the ATF wide latitude on the enforcement of regulations pertaining to Federal Firearms License (FFL) holders. Allegations of abuse by ATF inspectors soon arose from the NRA and some FFL licensees. The FOPA of 1986 addressed these issues by loosing restrictions, such as reopening interstate sell of rifles, allowed ammo shipments via USPS, and removed the requirement for record keeping on sales of non-armor-piercing ammunition

On the flip-side, FOPA contained a provision that banned the sale of machine guns manufactured after the date of enactment to civilians, restricting sales of these weapons to the military and law enforcement. How ever a person can still put in a full-auto sear in a gun after going through government paperwork

Not to mention it was a completely unjust waste which achieved NOTHING good.
Seeing as how it repealed many strict regulations, I don't see it as a complete waste. And while full-auto weapons are cool as fuck, semi-auto is far superior as you save ammunition and get a better hit on your target. The U.S military either uses semi or a burst function, rather than full-auto because of this

He also raised taxes a bunch.
Repubs aren't often accused of being the smartest bunch.

"I've been battling with the struggle of love and anger and the anger has won. It's impossible for me to go back to the way I was. I've tried changing back but it didn't work. I still had it in me and doubt it will ever go away. I have no control over it anymore. It has become part of me."
Reagan was a neocon shitbird
