“There is no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons.” - Ronald Reagan
The above is Krose's quote..... Now here's the actual quote and context of it.
Newspaper: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2 ... 72,5010951
1. Now, the context of this statement is immediately after an event in which 26 17-26 year old black men "Black Panthers" barged into the Legislature building with loaded guns some illegal demanding their rights.
2. It is true that this was in response to the proposed Mulford Act which Reagan did ultimately sign that prohibited "loaded" guns from being carried.
3. However, ultimately the methods they used, the "threat" they imposed was wrong, which was what Reagan was responding to.
4. Both the act and Reagan's statement were in response to "loaded" weapons, not the carrying of weapons themselves. He even specifically states that they DO have a right to bear arms.
5. It should be noted that this act and response back then was primarily for "safety" reasons, because not all guns had safety's, and safety's could often be flipped and the gun accidentally fired. As well, a round should not be needing to be in a chamber of a weapon unless it's going to be used.
6. It should be noted that Reagan had only been a Republican for about 5 years by that time after a lifetime of being a Democrat. Someone doesn't all of a sudden necessarily become an expert on gun rights over-night. Further, citizens who don't confront violence every day, it's entirely reasonable for a law preventing a round to be in the chamber, a.k.a. "loaded". I personally don't think it's necessary and really does anything, and could potentially cause issues when a gun has to be used in the rare case, but it's at least not unreasonable.
In conclusion:
As usual, Liberals use "facts" to tell great lies. The actual truth and facts of that statement shows Reagan to be pro-gun rights, and the right to self-defense, and not anti-gun like Krose and his fellow liberal liars would have us believe.
And yes, I know that Reagan was for the Brady Bill which simply required background checks which many states did not, and a 7 day waiting period for "handguns" ONLY which many states did not. These again, while not preferred, not unreasonable either.

Asked for his reaction the Governor commented that "American's don't go around carrying guns with the idea that they are using them to influence other Americans. There's no reason on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons."
He agreed however with the groups contention they have the right to bear arms.
