Do you even read your own posts?
You asked for a GOP sponsored "restriction". I bolded it for you.
The bill was brought up by a Republican and signed into law by a Republican President.
Where did you study law?
Did they teach you anything about civics?
Or how to read?
You moron-the FOPA was a pro gun piece of legislation
A democrat named HUGHES tried to derail it by putting a machine gun ban in it
Reagan signed it on the grounds that it was mainly pro gun and the poison amendment would be stripped out
So stop LYING
DEMOCRATS WERE THE ONES WHO ATTACHED THAT ANTI GUN NONSENSE
Recorded Vote 74 was the Hughes Amendment that called for the banning of machine guns. Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), at the time presiding as Chairman over the proceedings, claimed that the "amendment in the nature of a substitute, as amended, was agreed to." However, after the voice vote on the Hughes Amendment, Rangel ignored a plea to take a recorded vote and moved on to Recorded Vote 74 where the Hughes Amendment failed.[9][10] The bill, H.R. 4332, as a whole passed in Record Vote No: 75 on a motion to recommit. Despite the controversial amendment, the Senate, in S.B. 49, adopted H.R. 4332 as an amendment to the final bill. The bill was subsequently passed and signed on May 19, 1986 by President Ronald Reagan to become Public Law 99-308, the Firearms Owners' Protection Act.
So you are lying-again
