Iโ€™m an American I was always taught the way to keep your rights was to be nice, be democratic, and be dangerous to take rights from. You know, soapbox, ballot box, ammo box

Not even a Bojack horseman episode, this happened in 1967 because Regan didn't like the Black Panthers watching the cops in Oakland https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulford_Act

Governor Ronald Reagan, who was coincidentally present on the capitol lawn when the protesters arrived, later commented that he saw "no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons" and that guns were a "ridiculous way to solve problems that have to be solved among people of good will."

At least the timeline where John Hinckley Jr. used a real gun
