I actually am surprised they are still on the Nixon kick. He supported the 1968 Gun Control Act, also was quoted as saying "I don't see why anybody has a right to a handgun in their home". He wanted to ban "Saturday Night Specials", and further flirted with a full ban on handguns. He also created and promoted the EPA. Pretty sure there are lots of things that today's MAGats would lose their mind over.
Yes, but Trump is anti- gun rights.
True, but he kinda waffles on that like everything else, so maga will argue that he is for gun rights. They will justify any position Trump takes, and I guess they may do that for Nixon, of all people.
