President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order February 7, 2025 protecting Second Amendment Rights. Here’s the text of the Order:
PROTECTING SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS
EXECUTIVE ORDER
February 7, 2025
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.
How about over the counter, retail suppressor sales?
What is the rules in the state of alabama
Good first step – legal and consistent with Constitutional authority of the Executive Branch. I would also like to see an investigation of criminal “depravation of Civil Rights under Color of Law.” The belligerent actions of the previous Administration were an unacceptable attempt to harass and intimidate American gun owners AND retail FFL dealers. This type of arrogant anti-Second Amendment actions by ANY Executive Branch Administration can not be allowed to escape criminal prosecutions.
It’s unconstitutional to withhold the carry rights of citizens that are using prescribed medical Marijuana. When will this be addressed?
how about unleashing the doj’s civil rights division on jurisdictions that promulgate laws infringing on 2a…calif, ny, nj, ma, ct, md, il, co…
National CC reciprocation gun law next!
We need to ensure that our Constitutional rights are never infringed upon again, now and in the future. Any attempt to revoke those rights should be treated as a breach of law and dealt with accordingly to the full extent of the law.
