Title

KOIN 6 interviews on gun control and Brady Bill video recording

Description

A video recording primarily featuring two interviews with US Congressman Les AuCoin on gun control and the Brady Bill of 1991 (officially named the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, it was not officially passed into law until 1993) which proposed a five-day waiting period for the purchase of handguns. AuCoin, who originally opposed the bill, advocated for the bill as a form of gun control following the news of Ronald Reagan's support the bill.

This is a digitized version of an analog videorecording from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives. AuCoin served in the Oregon House of Representatives (1971-1975) and in the United States House of Representatives from Oregon's 1st District (1975-1993).
