Gun Owners of America makes excuses for Reagan's gun control stance, blames it on his old age (weapons, Clinton)

[Don Draper]

Reagan was for gun control before he was ever elected President. The representative for this gun irights group is not only ignorant but also hypocritical

Pratt's comment about the former president's "later years" appeared to be a reference to Reagan's well-known senility, which began while he was still president and worsened after his retirement.

Republicans cling to Reagan the same way Dems cling to Clinton and Obama.

"We're told it was better back then so it must be true."

Unfortunately every president since Wilson has been a tyrant with the brief exception of Kennedy.

The times were different back then, so it was ok for Reagan to want to ban assault weapons.

Besides Reagan wore a cowboy hat for photo ops, so that means he's pro guns
