He's probably hyperventilating about Kennedy re-introducing the Fairness Doctrine on TV and radio, a lot of Republicans at the time likened it to censorship and strangling their ability to voice themselves. Still seems a bit hyperbolic, but reactionaries are like that, you know?

I'm assuming by "Revolution of 2009" he's referring to the Romney's election?

I guess. See what I was saying about reactionaries? When they lose a minor policy battle, it's the death of freedom everywhere, and when they win, it's the Second American Revolution. Whoop-de-bleeping-do.

And the campaign finance reforms - the restrictions on campaign spending, the broadening of public funding and the closing of those "soft money" loopholes took away some key Republican advantages in Presidential and Congressional races.
 
If Regan had survived I doubt that Nancy would have become the figure head of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence and I doubt we would have had the 1985 Handgun Violence Prevention Act, the 1987 Assault Weapons Ban or the expansion of the ATF. And we definitely wouldn't have the National Firearms Registry!
