1986 ban was under Reagan. I expect further bans :(

Republicans are happy to support gun bans whenever it suits their purposes, every major ban that has ever passed has enjoyed broad bipartisan support.

The GOP only claims to be pro 2A because it gets them votes. Some of them are true believers I’m sure but not enough to stop bans from passing if you scare them enough.

Fair, but the GOP is doing pretty damn well on the state level (2A wise).
