I'm not big on banning AR-15s but which of the vetoed measures below would you call 'draconian'?

SPOTSYLVANIA COUNTY, Va. – Everytown for Gun Safety and its grassroots network, Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action, released the following statement in response to a mass shooting in Spotsylvania county, where three people were shot and killed and three people were shot and wounded. As of
Wednesday morning, four teenage suspects were in custody, and the shooting is believed to be the result of an illegal gun sale and robbery. One day prior,
a gun went off in the backpack of a third-grader at a Spotsylvania elementary school after the student found the unsecured handgun at home.
Both of these shootings come just weeks after Governor Youngkin
vetoed dozens of lifesaving gun safety measures, including legislation that would have required the secure storage of firearms, gotten weapons of war like the AR-15 off of our streets, banned all rapid fire devices, prohibited the carry of guns in hospitals and college campuses, created a five-day waiting period to purchase a firearm, and kept more guns out of the hands of domestic abusers.
