Title
"Confessions of a Former NRA Supporter" column in the Washington Post
Description
Article written by Representative Les AuCoin discussing his changing perspective on the National Rifle Association and his support for the Brady Bill. The Brady Bill, a short name for the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, mandated background checks and a waiting period for firearm purchases. Representative AuCoin had previously argued against gun control, but this 1991 article in the Washington Post marked a significant change in his position. This document is one of a collection of digitized objects from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives.
