“This is a matter of vital importance to the public safety. While we recognize that assault weapon legislation will not stop all assault weapon crime, statistics prove that we can dry up the supply of these guns, making them less accessible to criminals. We urge you to listen to the American public and to the law enforcement community and support a ban on the further manufacture of these weapons.“
- Ronald Reagan
Back when the Republicans weren’t complete wack jobs, Reagan urged the country to ban new assault weapons. Now that the Republicans are led by nuts like Fat Donny Trump and DeeSantis, the Republicans are part of the problem.
