On Friday, February 7th, 2025, President Trump signed a dramatic executive order that will undo the regulations put in effect by Biden.
.
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:
Donald Trump, “President Trump Signs Executive Order Protecting the Second Amendment,” White House, February 7, 2025.
Section 1. Purpose. The Second Amendment is an indispensable safeguard of security and liberty. It has preserved the right of the American people to protect ourselves, our families, and our freedoms since the founding of our great Nation. Because it is foundational to maintaining all other rights held by Americans, the right to keep and bear arms must not be infringed.
Sec. 2. Plan of Action. (a) Within 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.
(b) In developing such proposed plan of action, the Attorney General shall review, at a minimum:
(i) All Presidential and agencies’ 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;
(ii) Rules promulgated by the Department of Justice, including by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, from January 2021 through January 2025 pertaining to firearms and/or Federal firearms licensees;
(iii) Agencies’ plans, orders, and actions regarding the so-called “enhanced regulatory enforcement policy” pertaining to firearms and/or Federal firearms licensees;
(iv) Reports and related documents issued by the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention;
(v) The positions taken by the United States in any and all ongoing and potential litigation that affects or could affect the ability of Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights;
(vi) Agencies’ classifications of firearms and ammunition; and
(vii) The processing of applications to make, manufacture, transfer, or export firearms.
Sec. 3. Implementation. Upon submission of the proposed plan of action described in section 2 of this order, the Attorney General shall work with the Domestic Policy Advisor to finalize the plan of action and establish a process for implementation.
Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department, agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
From an individual’s perspective, this EO is a good one, eh. I agree that the more guns, the less crime, as even bad guys like the idea of living… I have no idea where the left gets its ideas on how to control crime, but it doesn’t seem reasonable.
Be most interesting to see exactly how this presidential order works, especially respecting the actions and decrees of the BATFE as they impact the ownership, possession and acquisition of firearms, ammunition and ammunition components.
It’s about time we have someone in the White House that makes this bold move. I won’t ask why he didn’t do this the last time he was in this office. I can only speculate that he didn’t have the backing he was led to believe he did by those in his cabinet the true supporters he needed. I really hope he follows up on this to get the needed changes and exclusions in a bill and passed in Congress and Senate. This order is a great start but as he is undoing things sleepy Joe did future presidents can do the same wiping it away with their executive order. Also immediate firing of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. That will save more taxpayer for something beneficial.
My last suggestion, give the ATF a massive come to Jesus adjustment.
Thank you Mr President.
We need more Republicans elected in the midterm election cycle.
Respectfully,
Another one of your biggest supporters, from the awful, almost Communist State of
illinois.
Thanks for posting this!
This is great for American freedom and gun owners.
