(PatriotNews.net) – Could this be the turning point in America’s gun rights debate?
At a Glance

- The order challenges Biden’s attempts at increased firearm regulation.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi will review rules potentially infringing on gun rights.
- Trump’s action fulfills a campaign promise to reinstate gun owners’ rights.
Trump Responds to Biden’s Gun Policies
President Trump has taken a bold step by signing the “Protecting Second Amendment Rights” executive order, a direct counter to President Biden’s push for stricter gun policies. This order mandates a thorough review of federal regulations to ensure they don’t impinge upon constitutional gun rights. It is Trump’s first major gun policy action after reassuming office, marking a clear attempt to fulfill campaign promises.
The responsibility of reviewing these policies falls on Attorney General Pam Bondi. Despite past leanings toward stricter gun regulations, she’s been given 30 days to deliver a comprehensive plan aimed at protecting gun rights from recent regulatory overreach, especially those measures introduced during Biden’s tenure.

Reactions Divided
The executive order has been hailed by many gun-rights groups as evidence of Trump’s dedication to protecting lawful gun ownership. “Promises made to law-abiding gun owners are being kept by President Donald J. Trump,” noted Doug Hamlin, NRA Executive Vice President. Yet, not everyone is convinced this is the right approach, with gun-control groups voicing concerns that it undermines efforts to curb illegal gun activity.

This executive order also instructs Bondi to reassess the ATF’s “zero tolerance” policy for gun dealers and other Biden-era rules, such as those concerning unfinished parts and pistol braces. This recalibration is set against a backdrop of ongoing litigation and evaluations by the Supreme Court on related matters.

Implementing the Plan
To finalize the protective measures, cooperation between the Attorney General and Domestic Policy Advisor Steven Miller is essential. Nonetheless, it’s critical to note that this order doesn’t alter legal authorities or budget allocations. It reiterates the importance of the Second Amendment as foundational to American liberty and security while inviting scrutiny of international agreements and cases that might infringe upon these rights.
“Gun owners fought hard to elect a president who would take a sledgehammer to Biden’s unconstitutional gun control policies, and today, President Trump proved he’s serious about that fight.” – Aidan Johnston, Gun Owners of America’s Director of Federal Affairs.
This development offers gun owners hope that concealed carry permits might soon fall under “full faith and credit,” providing safety through uniformity across state lines, a significant shift in a fiercely debated landscape.
