As a reminder, he made this quip AFTER an actual assassination attempt.

Reagan was a national treasure.

Reagan was a common sense gun control kind of guy.

He made it illegal to carry loaded firearms in national parks (gun free zones) and endorsed the Brady bill.

Ironically.. Obama undid the Reagan era prohibitions on carrying loaded firearms in national parks during his first month in office.

Reagan seemed like a larger than life character to the teenage me back then. As I am sure Trump is to young conservatives today. Especially after surviving the assassination attempt at his age.

I was 15 when Reagan won the Presidency of a country that was losing to the Soviets as the preeminent world super power, when he left office eight years later they were on deaths doorway as a nation.

He also said the govt needs to stay out of the lives of its citizens, then legalized the abomination of govt stealing citizens assets without criminal charge, trial, or conviction.

Good president, but decidedly not small govt.

Reagan was also the president who gave amnesty to at least 3 million illegals, starting the tidal wave of illegal immigration from Mexico and Latin America.

He could have changed our history and saved this country, but he didn't.

Reagan was the right president at the right time.

Our country was weak.

What a tired trope.

These were stupid mistakes on his part.

It is that simple.

Reagan's amnesty only created more illegal crossings, because the precedent of granting illegals citizenship had been set.

California used to vote Republican back in those days.

It never will again, due in large part to it being overrun by Latinos who primarily vote Dem.
