A president elected by the People and for the People and He was well liked and had a sense of humor! It was not easy to not like him as I recall... Great share, Cpl Vic Burk!

One of Reagan’s real quotes was that an AK-47 was not appropriate as a sporting or defensive rifle

Ronald Reagan once said that "an AK-47 is not a sporting weapon nor needed for defense of a home."

It was not from Ronald Reagan, but actually from Karl Marx. More specifically, the quote is from an 1850 speech given by the founder of Communism

Marx, Engels Quote Falsely Attributed to Reagan - FactCheck.org
A meme circulating on Facebook wrongly attributes a statement about guns to former President Ronald Reagan. The quote is actually from Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, co-authors of The Communist Manifesto.

Looks like others beat me to Karl Marx being the source of the quote.
