Gun control ad - 1981

[TurtleDude]

In the early '80s, the anti-gun movement was gaining a lot of support. Even Reagan spoke up quite often against guns. I think there was a lot of intimidation after that. Proponents would show up with guns, at anti-gun rallies. And then there was the murder of Alan Berg...

Radio talk show host Alan Berg was gunned down in his driveway in Denver's Congress Park neighborhood 30 years ago today.
...
The white supremacist group responsible for the murder, called The Order, was formed in 1983, only a year before the killing.

“This group of 11 men got together in the woods and basically said: 'It’s time for a revolution in America [and] we’re going to get rid of minorities, feminists, gays, [and] whoever we decide are our enemies,'" Singular says. "They said: 'Our first assassination target will be Alan Berg.'”

Berg's murder had zero impact on the gun control debate. And Reagan was not making anti gun comments in the early 80s when he was president and still of sound mind

Over 10k excess deaths in 1980. That number has only increased... which means the US has had almost 400,000 additional excess deaths since then.

But think of the FREEDOM!

Think of the cherry picking!

Statements taken out of context anyway...just like they usually do.

I don't agree with all of Reagan's politics. In fact, I wasn't even born when he was president.
