President Nixon that is -
Several previously unreported Oval Office recordings and White House memos from the Nixon years show a conservative president who at times appeared willing to take on the National Rifle Association, a powerful gun lobby then as now, even as his aides worried about the political ramifications.
I dont know why any individual should have a right to have a revolver in his house, Nixon said in a taped conversation with aides. The kids usually kill themselves with it and so forth. He asked why cant we go after handguns, period?
Nixon went on: I know the Rifle Association will be against it, the gun makers will be against it. But people should not have handguns. He laced his comments with obscenities, as was typical.
From Gannet and in today's The Tennesean
Impeach!!!!
