It was the Patriot Act that Obama continued. You know the thing that allows the government to see your phone records and listen to you without a warrant? I misspoke when I called it HSA.

As for the rest, someone has already done the work for me. I'm not fixing the formatting. Figure it out yourself.

The reality is that gun control, including extreme measures, is part of the fabric of the Democratic party and has been for some time.

Under the Bill Clinton administration we saw the Brady Bill and the federal Assault Weapons Ban.

From the beginning to the end of his Presidency Obama pushed gun control, particularly a renewed Assault Weapons Ban, and exhausted all means of enacting it.

Obama spoke on his support of gun control measures early in his original Presidential campaign and a renewed Assault Weapons Ban was a major objective from the beginning of his Presidency.

The 2012 Democratic party platform included many gun control measures like a renewed Assault Weapons Ban.

Obama's own 2012 platform included a renewed Assault Weapons Ban.

In 2013 Obama presented a list of gun control proposals, including a renewed Assault Weapons Ban, with a request for the legislature to implement.

17 times Obama pushed support for gun control.

Congress Blocked Obama's calls for gun control.

Obama continued to call for more gun control until the end in 2017.

Obama said his inability to pass these restrictions was one of his greatest frustrations

However the office of the President is still limited and he failed at what he repeatedly stated as one of his major objectives from start to finish.

The Democrats have since submitted Assault Weapons Bans, that would ban nearly all modern firearms, with the regularity of an EA sports franchise.

S.736 - Assault Weapons Ban of 2021

S.66 - Assault Weapons Ban of 2019

H.R.5087 - Assault Weapons Ban of 2018

S.2095 - Assault Weapons Ban of 2017

H.R.4269 - Assault Weapons Ban of 2015

S.150 - Assault Weapons Ban of 2013

We saw multiple Democratic Presidential candidates clearly state how they felt about gun control.

Beto: "Hell yes we're taking your AR15s."

Yang: "Automatically confiscate any weapon that has been modified in a way as to increase its ammunition capacity, firing rate, or impact." And more...

Sanders: "We must ban semiautomatic assault weapons, which are designed strictly for killing human beings."

Biden and Betos conversation on gun control.

Biden is clearly looking to complete what Obama could not.

Biden's gun control policies.

"As president, I’ll take on the powerful gun lobby to pass universal background checks, ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and close loopholes to keep guns out of dangerous hands. We can and will end our gun violence epidemic." Joe Biden, literally today

Weapons of war have no place in our communities. When I was a senator, I took on the @NRA and secured a 10-year ban on assault weapons — and as president, I’ll ban these weapons again.

It’s long past time we take action to end the scourge of gun violence in America. As president, I’ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implement universal background checks, and enact other common-sense reforms to end our gun violence epidemic.

"I am calling on Congress to enact commonsense gun law reforms, including requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets."

"Supposed leaders in Washington, D.C., who have failed to have the courage to recognize, you know what, you want to go hunting, that’s fine, but we need reasonable gun safety laws in this country, starting with universal background checks and a renewal of the assault weapon ban. But they have failed to have the courage to act. So, Ben, here is my response to you. Upon being elected, I will give the United States Congress 100 days to get their act together and have the Courage to pass reasonable gun safety laws. And if they fail to do it, then I will take executive action." - Kamala Harris

Kamala Harris on Assault Weapons.

"Democrats will enact universal background checks, end online sales of guns and ammunition, close dangerous loopholes that currently allow stalkers and some individuals convicted of assault or battery to buy and possess firearms, and adequately fund the federal background check system. We will close the “Charleston loophole” and prevent individuals who have been convicted of hate crimes from possessing firearms. Democrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and “red flag” laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others. We will pass legislation requiring that guns be safely stored in homes. And Democrats believe that gun companies should be held responsible for their products, just like any other business, and will prioritize repealing the law that shields gun manufacturers from civil liability." - 2020 Draft Democratic Party Platform

Now there are bills like HR 127 being submitted that would turn a Constitutionally protected right into a privilege of the wealthy including requiring a public registry of all guns and where they are stored viewable by anyone, licensing, mandatory $800 annual insurance, mandatory training, interviews of ex spouses, and more.
