re: #595 Dark_Falcon
In large part because Ronald Reagan did not want that needle to move. he didn’t react to being shot with a revolver by trying to ban revolvers, he reacted by carrying a revolver himself.
Actually, Reagan was already carrying a revolver before he was shot. And he was surrounded by well-trained people also carrying weapons. GGWAG has limited value.
He reacted by supporting the Brady Bill; waiting periods, some limits on who can buy, etc.
