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..

You're full of shit. Please tell us about all these gun control laws that Trump signed.

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.

Pretty good? Only compared to pinko commies. Any president who refuse to defend the 2A as written is lousy on the 2A. Shall not be infringed means what it says. That means belt fed machine guns in vending machines, and arresting anyone who tries to interfere.

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.
