It was gratifying to see some official recognition by the Trump administration of the damage done to our natural, God-given right of self defense by the Biden/Obama junta. The fanaticism on display at the ATF and the Justice Department during the last four years was unprecedented in American history. They shifted the perspective almost completely with the explicit assumption that gun dealers are criminals, and gun collectors are functionally equivalent to arms dealers selling guns to children in the ghetto. Their harassment of regular Americans exercising their rights was sadly accepted by a compliant media, though any enforcement of rational gun laws was met with hysterical opprobrium because of the inconvenient truth that America is a safe country...except for the blue inner cities.

Protecting Second Amendment Rights
Executive Order

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:

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.

But... This executive order is long on rolling back the worst excesses of the drooling idiot, and suspiciously short of any substantive recognition of the reality of the 2nd Amendment.

Status Quo Ante Biden is a nice place to start, but our gun rights were not being defended vigorously by the administration even before Biden: Magazine restrictions, scary gun bans, purchase limits, harassment of honest dealers and collectors, nitpicking regulations obviously designed as de facto bans, restrictions on shooting on public land, and on and on and on.

For America to return to some semblance of true freedom, the 2nd Amendment has to be respected as the simple declarative statement that it is. Until that happens, our rights will be under attack, even by the Trump administration. Yes, they are broadly pro-freedom and pro-gun rights, but the the vast regulatory state that has been created to limit our rights will never respect those rights, because their very existence is predicated on restricting those rights. A leopard cannot change his spots, and the ATF cannot suddenly recognize the absurdity of its very function.

Will Donald Trump and Pam Bondi appreciate the opportunity to change the paradigm of American freedom and allow us to return to the first principles of America?

I'm not sure. Bondi is no friend of the 2nd Amendment, and Donald Trump is mildly pro gun, but without the appreciation of its importance that we need!

We shall see....
