Back door nullification of the 2nd amendment

Sanders tries to bolster position against gun law he previously supported
Washington (CNN)Bernie Sanders will co-sponsor a bill to repeal legal protections for the firearm industry that he'd supported a decade ago, taking another step to undo the political damage of that vote and smooth over his relationship with gun control advocates.
Tad Devine, Sanders' top strategist, confirms that Sanders has agreed to be a co-sponsor of the repeal bill.

In the past, Sanders defended his support for the law that he is now joining the fight to repeal, saying in an interview on ABC's "The Week" earlier this month that "there are parts of it that made sense to me."
Explaining his outlook on the subject, Sanders explained to host George Stephanopoulos, "Look George, if you have a small gun shop owner in Northern Vermont who sells a gun legally to somebody and then, you know, something happens to that guy, he goes nuts or something, and he kills somebody, should the gun shop owner be held liable? I think not."
Killing the 2nd amendment is now part of the Democrat party platform

Unfortunately, that's another concern I have of Trump. I find his true stance on the 2nd amendment questionable.
"Trump believes that the Democrats’ approach to confiscate all guns will leave criminals as the only ones with weapons, but believes Republicans need to be more flexible on reforms. “Democrats want to confiscate all guns, which is a dumb idea because only the law-abiding citizens would turn in their guns and the bad guys would be the only ones left armed. The Republicans walk the NRA line and refuse even limited restrictions. I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within seventy-two hours if a potential gun owner has a record.†(The America We Deserve)"

Isn't that the situation already ?
Why don't the democrats just be truthful and call themselves "socialist democrats".
