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

[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?
