[i][b]Republicans in California eagerly supported increased gun control. Governor Reagan told reporters that afternoon that he saw “no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons.” He called guns a “ridiculous way to solve problems that have to be solved among people of good will.” In a later press conference, Reagan said he didn’t “know of any sportsman who leaves his home with a gun to go out into the field to hunt or for target shooting who carries that gun loaded.” The Mulford Act, he said, “would work no hardship on the honest citizen.”[/i][/b]

And of course, the NRA supported it too – Apparently Ronnie and the NRA were really apprehensive about guns … when it was the Black Panthers wanting them.
But god forbid angry [b]white[/b] people be inconvenienced, huh?
If standards are good, double standards are twice as good.
But of course, it’s just a coincidence that the NRA was formed the same year the KKK was branded a terrorist organization, correlation does not equal causation (but does count as a prerequisite for causation).
