Reagan, who was himself a shooting victim during his time in office, wrote:
It was on that day 10 years ago that a deranged young man standing among reporters and photographers shot a policeman, a Secret Service agent, my press secretary and me on a Washington sidewalk. …
[F]our lives were changed forever, and all by a Saturday-night special — a cheaply made .22 caliber pistol — purchased in a Dallas pawnshop by a young man with a history of mental disturbance.
This nightmare might never have happened if legislation that is before Congress now — the Brady bill — had been law back in 1981.

Reagan is dead you asshole. I don't start threads about JFK. Show some fucking respect.

Reagan probably said some even crazier s#it than this after 91.

People forget Brady had to get by the trauma unit team in the gold medal game.

if the Brady Bill had been passed... this never would have happened.

I love how your version of "gun control" lumps background checks as it and ignores banning types of guns, waiting periods, etc...you know, the stuff that people are much more worried about.
And another side question...why are Liberals trying to get the right to vote to all of the same people they are trying to ban from owning guns? These people are not competent enough to own a gun, but they sure as hell better not have their vote disenfranchised and be able to pull the lever for any and all (D)s. Any you better not ask them for any ID when they do it.

I'm not sure any felon has the right to vote or the right to own a gun.HoustonHusky said:I love how your version of "gun control" lumps background checks as it and ignores banning types of guns, waiting periods, etc...you know, the stuff that people are much more worried about.

Strict background checks are fine, but limiting an everyday, sane, law following person's right to own guns is bullshit.

Depends on the state for voting and several things for guns. But you missed the point entirely (big surprise).

What a cool day to be a Reagan's rotting corpse dick sucker.
