President Donald Trump on Friday took his first executive action on firearms<\/a>, backing up his campaign promises to protect the Second Amendment rights of American gun owners.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Second Amendment is an indispensable safeguard of security and liberty.\u00a0It has preserved the right of the American people to protect ourselves, our families, and our freedoms since the founding of our great Nation,\u201d the executive order begins. \u201cBecause it is foundational to maintaining all other rights held by Americans, the right to keep and bear arms must not be infringed.\u201d<\/p>\n Part of the action involved Trump charging Attorney General Pam Bondi with examining current laws that might be infringing on Americans\u2019 right to keep and bear arms.<\/p>\n \u201cWithin 30 days of the date of this order, the Attorney General shall examine all orders, regulations, guidance, plans, international agreements, and other actions of executive departments and agencies (agencies) to assess any ongoing infringements of the Second Amendment rights of our citizens, and present a proposed plan of action to the President, through the Domestic Policy Advisor, to protect the Second Amendment rights of all Americans,\u201d the order stated.<\/p>\n The order mentioned a number of specific actions Bondi should address, including all presidential and agencies\u2019 actions from January 2021 through January 2025 that purport to promote safety but may have impinged on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, rules promulgated by the Department of Justice (DOJ), including by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), from January 2021 through January 2025 pertaining to firearms and\/or federal firearms licensees, agencies\u2019 plans, orders and actions regarding the so-called \u2018enhanced regulatory enforcement policy\u2019 pertaining to firearms and\/or federal firearms licensees, and reports and related documents issued by the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.<\/p>\n Once the reviews are completed and a plan of action is established, the executive order calls for establishing an implementation of the plan to do away with any infringements.<\/p>\n Of course, gun-rights groups and others in the industry were pleased with President Trump taking action as he had promised during the campaign. Those groups included Gun Owners of America (GOA), which had just called on its members to remind Trump of his 2A promises.<\/p>\n \u201cBy planning to dismantle Biden\u2019s anti-gun agenda and rein in the ATF, President Trump is making good on his word to protect and defend the Second Amendment,\u201d Erich Pratt, GOA senior vice president, said in a news release<\/a>. \u201cThe ATF has been weaponized for too long against law-abiding Americans, and it\u2019s past time to rein in this rogue agency. GOA looks forward to working with this administration to restore and expand gun rights across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Keane, NSSF general counsel and senior vice president for government and public affairs. \u201cFor the past four years, the previous president and his administration attacked law-abiding gun owners and the lawful firearm industry at every opportunity, crippling small businesses and turning law-abiding Americans into criminals overnight, all while trampling on Constitutional rights and ignoring laws passed by Congress.\u201d<\/p>\nKeane added that with President Trump\u2019s executive order to investigate various infringements, those days are now behind us.<\/p>\n\u201cPresident Trump\u2019s welcomed Executive Order means those exercising their rights to keep and bear arms will be able to continue protecting their loved ones, homes and property and do so knowing the president of the United States has their back.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\nSource link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Donald Trump on Friday took his first executive action on firearms, backing up his campaign promises to protect the Second Amendment rights of American gun owners. \u201cThe Second Amendment is an indispensable safeguard of security and liberty.\u00a0It has preserved the right of the American people to protect ourselves, our families, and our freedoms since […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4593,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4592","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-reviews"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gunsandpride.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gunsandpride.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gunsandpride.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsandpride.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsandpride.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4592"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gunsandpride.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4592\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsandpride.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4593"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gunsandpride.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsandpride.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsandpride.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}](\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Trump_Biden-Debate-Screenshot.jpg\"){kind=link}
