I got them all right. How did you do?

[ivanbalt]

I got the first wrong and then I realized it wasn't a quiz, but political statement about Reagan supporting gun control. Great.

[AttackPlanR]

Hahahahahah.

[veritas]

#1-- Criminals aren't using assault weapons if one means semi-auto rifles. They are hardly ever used in crimes. People like Holmes and Lanza won't be stopped by any new gun bans. What might stop someone similar is a uniform system of background checks.

#2-- Is he saying an AK-47 is a machine gun? If so, that's wrong, it isn't. Plus it's already been shown that semi-auto weapons have very good utility for protecting homes and businesses. Ask the Korean business owners in LA or the homeowners in NO.

#3-- I agree. I would see no need for hollow point ammo or armor piercing ammo.

#4-- Goes back to improving background checks.

#5-- A generic statement anyone could make. Nobody is advocating violence. The question is whether gun bans by themselves can stop it. That is very doubtful at best.

[Calamari]

Hahahahahah.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny.

These quotes were all brought up this morning on the Morning Joe show.

Given the OP, you should have seen it coming.

I thought Ronny was right up there with Charlton Heston to these NRA gun nutters.
Wonder how disappointed they must have been to learn Ronny was for common sense laws that the NRA fights so hard to stop

[Wild Eyed Southern Boy]

Bid deal, Reagan was suffering from Alzheimers and dementia by then.

Way to go libs, taking advantage of somebody you would have sent to the healthcare death panel.

#1 NRA is against Ronny and fights assault weapon legislation

#2 NRA doesn't agree with Ronny and thinks every American should be able to own an AK47 (even violent felons and the criminaly insane)

#3 NRA fought for "cop killer" bullets, sorry Ronny they think you suck

#4 Responsibility, sorry Ronny NRA is against background checks and cool down periods

#5 let's see what they say tommorow about the recent violence

#6 THE ONLY one the NRA has been in agreement with you Ronny, give the NRA credit they do a great service for the country with gun safety education and training

#7 Ronny was for gun control, I'm going to say the NRA would disagree

So what do the 4 million NRA usefuful idiots for the gun manufactors think about their hero Ronald Reagan's position that gun control is a good thing?

Lets address each of these three.

#2 The NRA helped craft the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986. One of the facets of this legislation outlawed new manufacture of any automatic weapons for sale to the public. Many NRA officers and members are former military and law enforcement, most despise the AK series, because they are not proper rifles. Support of this legislation caused many auto enthusiasts to leave the NRA. FYI, the BATF did not recommend the banning of new sales of automatic weapons, because the legally registered weapons simply were not used in crimes. (And ATF made money on every transfer).

NOW read this carefully, "AK47 & AK-74 HAVE NOT EVER BEEN FOR SALE IN THE UNITED STATES".

#3 The NRA fought against the definition that anti-gun, nutcase, foaming at the mouth people , such as Dianne Feinstein, wanted to use that would have rendered illegal virtually every centerfire cartridge in existence. The average deer rifle will walk through the body armor worn by police. It is meant to stop low velocity handgun rounds. Had it passed in the original form, "Bye Bye, Granddad's old .30-30."

#4 Background checks and Cool down. NRA recommended development of the NCIS system. "Cool down" periods are a joke. It's nothing more than a manufactured excuse to inconvenience gun buyers. Josh Sugarmann even admitted it. If I have a CCW issued to me by the state and already own guns, what does this accomplish, other than to annoy me?

You already know the actual answers to these statements, yet you wish to mislead people that might not yet be informed.

A lie is a lie regardless of how you word it or dress it up.

And someone that promotes lies, is called a what?

[AttackPlanR]

Wow. St. Ronny is starting to look more and more like a bleeding-heart liberal. Who would have thought that one day the GOP would become so wacky as to make Ronald Reagan, former standard bearer of the conservative movement, seem like a regular Feinstein?

Guess you'd have to ask them.

[naive]

Can I play??


How about these quotes:

"WE THINK IT IS POOR FORM FOR A POLITICIAN OR A SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP TO TRY TO PUSH A LEGISLATIVE AGENDA ON THE BACK OF ANY TRAGEDY."
-- NRA, after 2008 Northern Illinois shootings

"Now is not the time to debate politics or discuss policy."
-- NRA, after 2009 Binghamptonmassacre

"At this time, anything other than prayers for the victims and their families would be inappropriate."
-- NRA, after 2011 shooting spree that wounded Gabrielle Giffords

"There will be an appropriate time down the road to engage in political and policy discussions."
-- NRA, after 2012 Aurora massacre

"NRA will not have any comment."
-- NRA, after 2012 Newtown massacre



What will they say next???

Bid deal, Reagan was suffering from Alzheimers and dementia by then.

In 1986? In 1988? Wasn't Reagan President then? Good grief, what are you suggesting????

[georjec2]

100's of assault and assault 'style' weapons will be be banned in 2013.

[Mom49of4]

Who has the NRA shot and killed? They are not responsible for the killing of 26 people last week.

[Smokey 1]

100's of assault and assault 'style' weapons will be be banned in 2013.

OK Kreskin, just what good will that do?

[ms maggie]

OK Kreskin, just what good will that do?

What good does having them do?

You need more than 6 shots to get the job done, you don't need more firepower, you need shooting lessons.

[Daan]

OK Kreskin, just what good will that do?

It will (if it happens) make georjec2 and all the anti-gun nutters (see that works both ways) feel "gooooood" and believe that mass killings will never happen again!
