I remember how, in the Obama era, there was a constant drumbeat of "they're coming for your guns," and unsurprisingly it never materialized.

Why should I believe you this time?

For one thing, it’s happening slowly in states like California, and for another it is written into Biden’s platform.

“Put America on the path to ensuring that 100% of firearms sold in America are smart guns.” - a quote you can check today on Biden’s website.

Well there were pretty heavy gun regulations that were enacted under Obama.

I guess Obama did allow cartels to have guns by continuing Fast & Furious so you're half right.

No there weren't.

You're half-right because of this one, the Obama administration circumvented federal law to allow known prohibited persons to buy guns and then let them take the guns across the border. over 1200 guns were lost to known organized crime without even getting Mexican gov't permission.
