Draft ALS signed “RR,” one page, 5.25 x 4.25, dated September 1, 1967 in another hand. Draft letter to Mrs. McCloskey. In full: “I believe you’ve been misinformed about the gun legislation. I’m a gun lover myself & have bought guns for my children. What you probably are referring to is a bill to simply make mail order purchase of concealable weapons subject to the same laws we have for local purchase.” In fine condition, with a diagonal crease to right side, and a few other small bends and creases. The future president and victim of a 1981 assassination attempt here offers his views on candid views on gun legislation in reply to a constituent’s concerns. Although he long held against his stance against the restriction of firearms, in 1991 he publicly supported legislation that called for a seven-day waiting period before a handgun could be purchased. Between his terms as California’s governor and his presidential election, Reagan habitually penned drafts of letters for his secretary to then type on his behalf. Although many of these drafts had a line drawn through them to indicate they had been typed, this attractive example successfully avoided such a fate.
