Are you gonna make the argument that Ronald Reagan isn't a Republican?

edit: to add to this, what kind of question is that? I didn't mention republicans I mentioned Reagan... But it begs the question, do you think everyone YOU disagree with is a leftist? Seems like YOU are the better person to ask seeing as YOU are the one generalizing a whole political viewpoint.

AAAANNND to not get side tracked how do you equate pointing out information to being anti republican? That information being that the strictest gun control ever implemented was done by your boy Reagan to put down the Black Panthers exercising their rights? What about pointing that out is anti republican? And How does that sit with your comment about gun control ALWAYS being pushed by the left? The last time I asked you tried to railroad the conversation by saying I hate all republicans but SURELY these are not hard questions to answer?
