Before 1977, the NRA supported Reagan's Mulford Act.

After 1977, the NRA supported Reagan's presidency.

You do understand that these aren't two people who both happened to be named Reagan, right? You are aware that both of these Reagans are actually the same person?

"Well, I know he fucked us over in 1967, but he can change! And if we don't support him now, he might not be there when we need him!"

It was despicable for the NRA to support him in 1980. It was despicable for the NRA to support Romney in 2012. The Revolt in '77 was the membership calling the police against an abusive husband, then refusing to press charges.
