Trump Issues Executive Order Rolling Back Biden-Era Gun Regulations

On February 7, President Donald Trump issued a groundbreaking executive order aimed at reversing several gun control measures implemented during the Biden administration, emphasizing the Second Amendment as a vital safeguard of security and liberty. The order mandates Attorney General Pam Bondi to conduct a 30-day review of all executive actions and regulations since January 2021 that may infringe upon Americans' Second Amendment rights. Key areas of focus include the scrutiny of policies related to ghost guns, expanded background checks, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' (ATF) enforcement rules. Gun rights advocates, including the NRA, praised the move as a fulfillment of Trump's campaign promises, while gun control proponents criticized it as potentially reckless, arguing that the Biden-era regulations were both constitutional and effective in reducing gun violence. The outcome of this executive order could lead to significant shifts in federal firearm policies and enforcement priorities in the coming months. Trump’s initiative marks the first executive action in U.S. history specifically aimed at enhancing Second Amendment rights.
