He once was a Democrap too. He switched teams. He banned open carry in California in the 60’s when radical leftists started openly menacing government and public buildings. Here’s what he actually said on the matter.

“Reagan’s stance was that violent crime would never be eliminated, with or without gun control. Instead, he said, efforts to curb crime should target those who misuse guns, similar to the way laws target those who use an automobile feloniously or recklessly.

Saying the Second Amendment “leaves little, if any, leeway for the gun control advocate,” he added that “the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms must not be infringed if liberty in America is to survive.”

Note he followed the constitution. “Must not be infringed.”

Gun control is not an infringement of your rights.

Apparently you lack the education to know what infringement is, so here it is. Note number 2 and weep.

But you're literally not being prevented or limited from owning a gun - unless you're a criminal or mentally ill.

You most certainly are. Not allowed to buy a gun that has this feature, no allowed to have a magazine above this capacity, red flag so anyone, literally anyone can claim you are a danger and they can seize your weapons without a trial. Certainly plenty room for abuse and limiting. It’s about depriving citizens of their right to self defense, criminals and mental defectives don’t care about breaking the law.

Keep grasping

ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ

"Radical leftists" were doing nothing of the sort. Reagan was angry that blacks were peacefully standing up for themselves against police discrimination and brutality.
And he remained a life long gun control supporter, saying that he saw "no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons" and that guns were a "ridiculous way to solve problems that have to be solved among people of good will."

Weather Indergtound, police station bombings, SLA, Black Panthers. Yup radical violent leftists used open carry laws to try and intimidate the local Authorities.

I already posted what he said about gun control. He was against misuse not against the second amendment or gun control.

The BPs used open carry to prevent police brutality, genius.

That’s the leftist version sure. The Panthers committed several Violent acts that weren’t preventing police brutality including murdering police officers genius.

Simple historical fact.

Joe Stalin would be proud of your revisionist history. It's positively Soviet. (and equally ridiculous)

You're describing yourself.

so did Hitler

He loosened gun restrictions.

he banned any jew from owning one

I don't think anyone's forgotten what happened to the Jews in Nazi Germany.

Yeah the right is nuts.

Farrakhan is right? lol.. nope

😂😆😅😅🤣

He signed California's first gun control law.

So frikking what? He's been dead for ONLY 17 years and that has no bearing on today.
Why don't you dig up some Herbert Hoover initiatives and run those up the meme flagpole, too?
Idiot.
