[QUOTE="Snapshot2022, post: 3993053, member: 51107"] I don't recall any Reagan-imposed gun control in California, could you post something to show where you find he did this. If this is the item your refering to the Mulford Act, it was to protect the public from the Black Panther Party, i don't conceder it any real type of imposed gun control. Mulford Act The Mulford Act was a 1967 California bill that prohibited public carrying of loaded firearms without a permit.
