Ultra Liberal Anti-Gun Leaders Bush, Reagan and Clinton

Prior to passage of the federal assault weapons ban (signed by then President Clinton), the importation of certain types of assault weapons from overseas had been banned during the Reagan and George H.W. Bush Administrations. Such bans were ordered by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) under the 1968 Gun Control Act, which grants the ATF the power to prevent the importation of guns which are not "particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes."

Under the Reagan Administration, the ATF blocked the importation of certain models of shotguns that were not suitable for sporting purposes. In 1989, during the George H.W. Bush Administration, the ATF expanded this list to permanently ban the importation of 43 types of semi-automatic assault rifles that were also determined not to have a sporting purpose.

Later, in 1998, during the Clinton Administration the ATF banned the importation of 58 additional foreign-made "copycat" assault weapons in order to close a loophole in the prior import ban.

This shows who the "liberals" are.........
