Most would be happy to allow them. Let god sort ‘em out, and all.

I tend to doubt it. Reagan and the NRA were quite happy to regulate guns when the Black Panthers showed up with them.

Hint: If someone says "yeah sure manpads are fine" they're not some fox news boomer who adores Reagan.

It's still very much a phenomenon. Look how the NRA and GOP handled the Philando Castile case (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Philando_Castile), for example. Suspicious silence, for the most part.

The ‘right’ is a venn diagram, not a solid block.

The NRA has a lot of overlap, but Reagan was never particularly pro-gun - he was literally a California Actor, and it was under him that most federal gun laws were passed. (1984 GCA being huge)

In many ways, he was just really good at pretending to be/pushing folks on the rights buttons, while being a smokescreen for all the other laws that people needed to pass. In that way, a lot like Trump is right now.

Notably, Reagan also had dimentia/Alzheimer’s through a large portion of his terms, not that it is related to our current situation at all…
