56. Don't forget LBJ and William J. Hughes ... both democrats too!
The democratic administration of Lyndon B Johnson was in office when the 1968 Gun Control Act was passed. And the Dems struck again in 1986 when Rep. William J. Hughes (Dem, N.J.) surreptitiously included the Machine Gun ban in the FOPA, an otherwise perfect bill.
There is a rich history of Democrat politicians pushing antigun legislation... more so than republicans I would have to admit. Which has been intriguing to me seeing as Charlton Heston was a democrat and Paul Helmke was a republican.
