The National Rifle Association and other pro-gun groups lobbied for passage of the legislation, and it was generally considered favorable for gun owners. Among other things, the act made it easier to transport long rifles across the United States, ended federal records-keeping on ammunition sales and prohibited the prosecution of someone passing through areas with strict gun control with firearms in their vehicle, so long as the gun was properly stored.

 

perhaps your argument is with Hughes and Congress for adding it.

Nobody here was saying Hughes or Congress were great. Reagan could have either not signed or had the amendment removed if he was such a "true conservative", however he did not.

In a way he is, Trump was responsible for removal of bump stocks as Ronnie was for removal of automatic weapons made after 1986. 

Reagan has been asking for a “line item veto” for his whole admin

In United States government, the line-item veto, or partial veto, is the power of an executive authority to nullify or cancel specific provisions of a bill, usually a budget appropriations bill, without vetoing the entire legislative package. The line-item vetoes are usually subject to the possibility of legislative override as are traditional vetoes.
Presidents of the United States have repeatedly asked the Congress to give them line-item veto power.
[11] According to Louis Fisher in The Politics of Shared Power, Ronald Reagan said to Congress in his 1986 State of the Union address, "Tonight I ask you to give me what forty-three governors have: Give me a line-item veto this year. Give me the authority to veto waste, and I'll take the responsibility, I'll make the cut, I'll take the heat." Bill Clinton echoed the request in his State of the Union address in 1995.[12] Congress attempted to grant this power to the president by the Line Item Veto Act of 1996 to control "pork barrel spending", but in 1998 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the act to be unconstitutional in a 6–3 decision in Clinton v. City of New York. The court found that exercise of the line-item veto is tantamount to a unilateral amendment or repeal by the executive of only parts of statutes authorizing federal spending, and therefore violated the Presentment Clause of the United States Constitution. 
 

Presidents aren’t kings, they can sign or veto. That’s it.

in order to get the rest of the provisions, ammo records, travel, he had to take what he could get or leave it. Getting rid of large parts of the ‘68 law was worth it.

No, I don't. Who designated her TOTY, and what criteria did they use?

In any case I support her right to make a fool of herself and I hope she's taught her students to make up their own minds about whether she should be a role model.

I think their action should be pointed out as an affront to academia.  Teaching respect for our country should be paramount. 

Without the USA, many countries in Europe would lose their freedom.  Oh, wait, they are  experiencing now what is currently being taught in "our" public schools ..…………..  Never mind.
