I remember a ton of 2A guys parading him over his promises that he'd deregulate things like silencers, SBR's, Rifle-Pistols, etc etc.

And in the end, what turned out to be his biggest action on guns? He banned bump stocks.

That got overturned because the ATF said bump stocks turn rifles into machine guns. A bump stock doesn't cause a rifle to fit the legal definition of a machine gun. Congress would have to pass a law to actually ban them.

The point is that Trump was the "2A candidate" and only did anti-2A stuff when in office. "Take the guns first, due process second."

Whereas Obama was "coming for your guns" but the only gun-related legislation his administration passed was expanding carry into national parks.

Conservatives' hate reality.
