Ronald Reagan actually said...

"It is time to restore the balance—and to make the law work to protect decent, law-abiding citizens."

"These measures will simplify the justice system and make it more likely that those who commit crimes pay a price."

"Since the early days of this administration, we've been working to make America a safer place for all our citizens."

"By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution of the United States of America."
