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..

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.

Bunch of politically expedient talk but no action.

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.
