An interesting comment I heard about Trump vs. Obama regarding gun control... true or not?

[JoeStuckInOH]

Given recent talks we've all seen that the NRA and GOP congress is willing to sit down to "talk about" slide fire stocks or other gun control, someone I know (who is very repubican, very into guns, and really dislikes Trump... for his ineffectiveness, lol) mentioned to me in disgust:

"If they ban slide fire stocks or hi cap magazines, Trump and the GOP will have passed more gun control laws than Obama and the gun-hating domcrats did in the 8 years they controlled everything."

I hadn't though of it like that and didn't have much to respond with. Is that even true?
Were there NO gun control laws during the 8 years preceding trump?

EDIT: Yes, I knew the Dems did not "control everything for 8 years". That was his phrasing. But Dems did hold a thurough majority for at least some of the time to do something had they tried harder, if I'm not mistaken. I mean, that's how we got ACA through. The part I'm really questioning is that Obama passed NO gun control laws?

1. I think so

In fact, PBO signed the law allowing concealed carry in National Parks.

6. You think Dems controlled "everything for eight years" ....

Or was it maybe more like 5 non sequential months?
Why they got you agreeing with their lies??

2. Ridiculous. Repugs obstructed O for eight years. You gotta know that. They vowed in that meeting...

in DC on his Inauguration Day in 2009 to vote against everything he tried so mention that to your repug friend the next time.

3. Democrats did not control everything for 8 years

so that makes his statement false

4. "In the eight years they controlled everything" -and you have to ask if this is true? Seriously?

Notice they had to LIE big time to hide why no gun control was passed? Pelosi introduced legislation to ban bump stocks- did you read that?
