Bush signed at least two pro-gun bills. He signed the bill that outlawed local governments from confiscating guns after a disaster. He also signed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which Obama voted against.

Obama signed the guns-in-parks because it was a rider to a credit card reform act.

Reagan signed a bill that greatly expanded gun rights, called Firearms Owners Protection Act. http://www.hardylaw.net/FOPA.html
Among other things it removed the 5-day wait for a handgun, and allowed people to transport firearms through a state if the gun was unloaded and locked away in the trunk. It made other reforms to the 1968 Gun Control Act.

Obama has supported making the AWB permenant, is against concealed carry, voted against the PLCAA (See above), voted for the Kennedy Amendment in 2005, and has supported numerous other gun-control positions. He is extremely anti-gun but is smart enough to know that it is a political loser.
