Correct me if im wrong, but obama didnt do anything that took any gun or its components out of my hands.
The russian ban, other countires make AKs that you can buy. Compared to full auto or bumps no replacements really.
Green tip didnt pass.
Clinton passed assault weapons ban, but had grandfather clause.
David Hogg #2 in gun sales.
Am i going in the wrong direction?

I think we have to judge their policies not on what they did, but what they attempted to do. Obama and Feinstein tried to pass another federal assault weapons ban after Newtown.
The bill had no "sundown clause" to expire, and was much more strict than the first 10-year ban. They learned from the first one and tried to establish broader definitions of what qualified as "Assault Weapon." The first time, manufacturers simply create "sporting editions" of the ARs that were missing enough features to make them legal. Same firearm, same ammo, not as many gadgets.
I wouldn't wave the bump stock ban around as a major loss for 2A rights. There's been a huge disconnect between ATF rules, definitions and functionality for a very long time. Most don't make any sense, because the rules don't do what they intended.
I believe the ATF needs to get back to basic firearm design, create new classifications for current versions based on function, not just technical specs, and then maybe the agency would be more effective and less of a paper chase.
