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.
