Trump issues executive order on Second Amendment

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.

I have a shotgun I’ve had since my youth. My dad gave it to me so we could dove hunt together , which we did for several years . By the time I was 18 or so , I’d quit hunting . But I kept the gun bc it was from my dad.
For the 1st time in my life I’m now considering a handgun .

Damn what a world
😟
