I'm thinking about how much things have changed regarding the 2nd amendment/gun control in the last 10-15 years..

I recall buying the first AR-15 I ever owned during a time when demand was higher than average due to concerns about Obama banning that style of rifles, and I remember Obama (jokingly) referred to as the best salesman for gun retailers. I don't recall any particular legislation or ATF action taken.

Red flag laws and bump stocks were the primary issues with Trump?

As we're all aware, the biden admin is all about trampling the 2nd amendment..

Surely I'm forgetting something..

I think it was "Give guns to the Mexican cartels so they can murder border patrols."

he certainly triggered a couple of panic buys with his unconstitutional rhetoric . I remember going to the range then and seeing absolute noobs that had never fired a gun before fumble around.

Bump stocks, which were a fad and hardly had any practical use, were banned with the support of the Trump administration. A mistake, in my opinion. Never give an inch to radical lefties.

Obama didn't change any laws so Trump takes the L here, however Obama was very supportive of gun-control which led to later Democrat state gun bans on bump stocks, "pistol-type rifles", high capacity magazines, background checks, the uber scary "assault rifle" terminology, etc. Obama did more damage overall, but from the backseat.

At least you did your homework. Bump stocks are really the only "gun control" thing he did, and was not a good thing for exactly the reason you stated, never give an inch. He scores pretty high for his second amendment position.

Feb. 20, 2018: Trump ordered the Justice Department to issue a ban on bump stocks, which are used to convert semi-automatic guns into automatic weapons

Dec. 18, 2018: Trump administration issued an official rule banning bump stocks. The new regulation, would ban the sale or possession of the devices under a new interpretation of existing law. Americans who own bump stocks would have 90 days to destroy their devices or to turn them in to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The Justice Department said A.T.F. would post destruction instructions on its website.

It didnt even go through congress it was 100% federal agencies under trumps command

You must not have noticed where we already discussed that ONE thing. The original comment that I responded to said that Trump signed ALL the gun laws when he got into office. This ONE thing does not really constitute a horrifying list of constitutional right denying, gun grabbing laws.

Idk.

One of the most detrimental acts he signed that I know of is the fair housing act of 2012.

And bailing out the banks twice.

And stoking racial animosity

And flooding Minnesota with somalians

And flooding the country with mudslimes.

And beaners

He committed other acts of treason, but those come to mind first.

Mostly collateral attacks. Several import bans that cut us off from most of the cool slavshit. Same with ammo. Also went after lead battery recycling under an environmental pretext that created an ammunition scarcity.
