[QUOTE="MadDawg, post: 1090937, member: 11627"] Actually history shows Republicans permanently ban weapons using the 'common sense' doctrine and Executive Order. Not exactly what the Founding Fathers discussed. Reagan banned civilian purchase of any select fire weapon made after '86. He eliminated a weapon by name as not needed by hunters or used by competition shooters. He forbid concealed carry on any national park or refuge, even if the state allows concealed on public land. I cant imagine what the patriotic gun owners would have done if Carter had done that! It was only in the waning days of the Younger President Bush's administration was the concealed carry ban rescinded. NONE of the Reagan firearm bans and restrictions were ever voted on. The Elder Bush continued to restrict weapons and magazine capacity by Presidental Decree. 86 weapons were banned fom import, magazine capacity was reduced using the same 'common sense' doctrine. Again, no debate in Congress, no vote of the people, just a quick few strokes of a pen. Every petty tyrant across the globe must have smiled. A higher precentage of House Republicans voted for the Sweeping Brady Bill than did Democrats. But at least the Brady Bill was debated and voted on by Congress and not made law by a wave of the Executive Pen. So I am always puzzled by the idea that the Dems take and the Repubs restore.
