As my quote has demonstrated, your wishful thinking isn't even close.
Who said this:
“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.”
“Certain forms of ammunition have no legitimate sporting, recreational, or self-defense use and thus should be prohibited.”

It is true that Reagan was not very good on the gun issue, which is ironic considering that he once prevented a mugging with his gun, which he had stupidly left unloaded. Reagan Was Hero To Iowa Woman | KCCI Home - KCCI Home
But we are all stupid at times. The 2nd amendment debate in the time of Reagan was not what it is now. Scholarship persuaded even liberal law prof Lawrence Tribe to change his mind on the 2nd Amendment around 2000, well after Reagan had left the scene.
FDR and JFK were not very good on race relations either. Remember that Cointelpro and the bugging of MLK Jr. happened under JFK. We are all stupid at times.

Lincoln was a socialist sympathizer, you don't even understand the quote you posted. You think he wasn't thinking about Capitalists and Robber Barons when he said "It is the same spirit that says, 'You work and toil and earn bread, and I'll eat it.'"?
Thomas Jefferson was a slaveholder, and Andrew Jackson despised the Cherokee. Maybe it was best that the Democrats left those attitudes behind with those that held them.
