I just don't see this opinion often. Most people that talk up Reagan include an asterisk for this colossal error

That's literally the fault of the NRA. They told Reagan to go ahead and sign FOPA and they would repeal the Hughes Amendment, except now 34 years later they haven't made one fucking attempt to do so.

I hate to say it, but it was worth downing the poison pill of the Hughes Amendment to get FOPA.

This is far more detailed and meticulous than I could write on the topic (written by tablinum, who is a maestro, particularly with regards to the GCA and FOPA; FOPA section is about three posts down): https://np.reddit.com/r/guns/comments/9qai6e/official_politics_thread_22_october_2018/e888ecx/?context=5
