It might be useful to actually see the platform plank we're talking about.
Title and preamble about "sensible action" and families and "gun violence"
Preventing Gun Violence
With 33,000 Americans dying every year, Democrats believe that we must finally take sensible action to address gun violence. While responsible gun ownership is part of the fabric of many communities, too many families in America have suffered from gun violence.
The lie that they respect any gun owner. And the implicit lie that national level restrictions will do anything for hot spots of high crime rate cities.
We can respect the rights of responsible gun owners while keeping our communities safe.
Brady was such a success we'll do more of the same in spite of the data showing that there's nearly no statistical value in Brady.
To build on the success of the lifesaving Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, we will expand and strengthen background checks and close dangerous loopholes in our current laws;
We'll encourage crippling lawsuits paid for by wealthy Antis (<cough> Bloomberg) to put retailers and manufacturers out of business even though their products weren't defective.
repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) to revoke the dangerous legal immunity protections gun makers and sellers now enjoy;
We'll ignore the data from the DOJ showing that all rifles of any type are no more involved in homicides than clubs OR knives OR even hands and feet and continue to demonize based on appearance to promote fear in the public so we can promise to make them free of fear instead of free of violence.
and keep weapons of war—such as assault weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines (LCAM's)—off our streets

I got nothin' here. I'm not aware of any effort to stop BATFE from yanking FFLs where the dealer breaks the law. Must be "create fear where no threat actually exists".
We will fight back against attempts to make it harder for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to revoke federal licenses from law breaking gun dealers,
Welllll, no one wants terrorists to get guns or dangerous mental health sufferers to get guns, but most of the mass shootings and terrorist attacks have taken place under very restrictive state and federal programs or where the federal oversight failed to communicate with the other federal agencies responsible for approving purchases through NICS so I'm not sure what they want unless it is to treat ALL OF US as if we can't be trusted with firearms.
and ensure guns do not fall into the hands of terrorists, intimate partner abusers, other violent criminals, and those with severe mental health issues.
Government studies during and after AWB showed that there was no conclusive evidence that any government gun restrictions had any significant effect on firearms related homicides, but because the Republicans banned the CDC from funding firearms homicide studies we'll make it a point that the Republicans block funding for more of these studies.
There is insufficient research on effective gun prevention policies, which is why the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention must have the resources it needs to study gun violence as a public health issue.
