Reagan was anti gun as hell.

Reagan was never a staunch gun right supporter. He supported and passed several gun control measures. I doubt he would have ever supported CHL legislation. He also supported the Brady Bill
But look at that 2nd statement, "ridiculous way to solve problems that have to be solved among people of good will". Reagan wasn't speaking about problems between good and bad people. Those are the kinds of problems that sometimes call for the use of a gun. Reagan never opposed gun ownership outright. He acknowledged the rights of others to own guns for hunting, sport, and home defense. He however also greatly restricted the ownership of any fully automatic weapon with the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986. That law was meant to prevent abuses from by the ATF but amendments added to it added the restrictions on fully automatic weapons..
So it was always a mixed back with Reagan when it came to gun rights. I think Gun right supporters bring this up because so many so called conservatives like to hold up Reagan as the model of conservatism. However Reagan would never move forward politically in what we call conservatism today.Comment

A little misleading. To my knowledge, he never supported or passed any gun control measures while he was in office. The only one I am aware of was the Hughes amendment, which was added at the last minute by a democrat to a bill he supported which was curtailing the authority of the ATF, basically loosening gun laws. The bill also had 80% support in the house and senate, and was veto proof."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
