I would hope that a gun-related site wouldn't quote such a notorious gun-grabber.

G98, Ronnie Raygun was Gov. of Kauleeforneeah when California adopted its first gun laws (the first being the Mulford Act) in response to disarming Blacks (Black Panthers) and Hispanics (of course the laws were soon enforced against Whites). He started CA's downward slide.
As President he signed the FOPA which froze the production of machine guns. This was important as it was the first time the goverment completely stopped the production of an arm for civilians. It will serve as the basis for all future guns bans, i.e. "why do you need a gun like that?"
In March of 1991 Raygun came out in favor of the Brady Bill.

So FOPA was a terrible thing...
As in Firearms Owner's Protection Act of 1986, that tightened oversight of the ATF's rampant abuses, loosened up the GCA of 1968, and opened the floodgate for all the milsurps that we enjoy now? The same FOPA that provides safe passage for traveling individuals and FFL's? The same FOPA that forbids the government from creating a registry of non-NFA firearms? The machine gun bit was tacked on at the last minute, if I remember correctly, much like Feinstein and crew attempting to tack their renewal of the '94 AWB onto the gun manufacturer's liability bill. Pity about the machine guns, but would you rather have none of the benefits of the rest of the '86 FOPA?

Yes, it was Hughes from New Jersey with a voice vote in the House.
Yes, I would rather have no FOPA in '86 (would have gotten it later) rather than allow the government the precedent of banning entire classes of weapons.

G98, don't know, speculation I guess. '86 freeze has horrible unintended consequences.

'86 may be debatable, but I mostly blame him for starting California on its nasty downward trajectory. It's because of him that gun control is considered a bipartisan issue in California, and why it is so hard to make any headway there.
Sure, there would have probably been Peratas and Feinsteins without him, but because of him, those people are a lot more able to get their way on gun control.
And we all know that a lot of people look to California as a bellwhether state for the nation. I would argue that he should be considered responsible for a lot of our worst national laws.
