Trump Signs Executive Order To Protect Second Amendment Rights
BY Herschel Smith
- Review of Executive Actions:
The Attorney General is tasked with examining all orders, regulations, guidance, plans, international agreements, and other actions taken by federal agencies from January 2021 through January 2025. The review will assess whether these actions infringed on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens under the guise of promoting safety. - Focus on Firearms Regulations:
The order specifically directs the Attorney General to review:- Rules promulgated by the Department of Justice, including those by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).
- Policies related to the “enhanced regulatory enforcement” of firearms and Federal firearms licensees.
- Reports issued by the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.
- Classifications of firearms and ammunition by federal agencies.
- The processing of applications to make, manufacture, transfer, or export firearms.
- Litigation Positions:
The Attorney General is also instructed to evaluate the positions taken by the United States in ongoing and potential litigation that could affect Americans’ ability to exercise their Second Amendment rights. - Development of a Plan of Action:
Within 30 days, the Attorney General must present a proposed plan of action to the President, through the Domestic Policy Advisor, to address any identified infringements on Second Amendment rights. The plan will then be finalized and implemented in coordination with the Domestic Policy Advisor.
Well, okay, I’d like to see where Pam Bondi takes this before I start cheering.
I want to see Trump press the SHUSH act to deregulate suppressors from the NFA and GCA. I won’t be happy until suppressors aren’t an NFA item.

This EO notwithstanding I don’t trust AG Bondi to protect our 2A rights. She has a LONG history of being anti 2A. And she also appears reluctant to do a damn thing about the blatant criminality of the thugs infesting BATFEces…..

@Dan,
Completely agree. Bondi will do everything she can to restrict the 2A.

Yep, Bondi is bad for 2A. She’s on video sitting next to DJT discussing the newest flavor of ERPO, or Red Flag, laws. Due process second and all that…

Pam Bondi is a sneaky evil dirtbag. She is not to be trusted to do anything to guarantee our 2A God given rights. Absolutely the worse choice for AG!

I’ll be happy when I can have a full auto suppressed rifle.
I do not expect that to happen but if it does, I will be happy.

The time frame is only the most recent four years. It seems like an information-gathering directive to reverse only what Biden has done since ’21. Yep, Trump and Bondi love taking the guns first with Red Flag infringements.

There are plenty of infringements by EO or just policies enacted by the ATF prior to 2021 that need to be overturned as well.
Don’t trust Bondi to be a friend of the 2A.
