mer President Ronald Reagan accepts a Colt Sporter AR15 from the American Shooting Sports Council at his ranch in California, 1992. “This much was obvious—Ronald Reagan loves shooting and loves people,” ACCS’s executive director wrote (PDF) about the day. “The anti-gunners may have thought they co-opted our pro-gun former president for their exclusive use. No way! He believes in our industry,”
