Talk-but-no-action candidate on assault weapons ban

I like Sanders on the environment (A+ rating from Greenpeace). I want to see this be a national priority from 2021 - 2024. I do not feel the assault weapons ban should be a priority. We need to bring the country back together and put wedge issues like this back in the closet in my opinion.

All the Dem candidates are in favor of an assault weapons ban, at least on paper. Are any of the candidates blowing any dog whistles to suggest an actual policy of inaction given the opportunity? Kind of like what Obama did?

I'm looking for a talk-but-no-action candidate in this regard.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

...as a Senator, where gun control is not viewed favorably.

Do the gloves come off as President?
