A month after President Donald Trump issued an executive order for the Justice Department to review federal gun regulations, House Democrats have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to explain how she will implement the order.

In a three-page letter to Bondi, Reps. Jamie Raskin, ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee and Lucy McBath, ranking member on the Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance ask the attorney general a dozen questions, many of which seem to expect her to be omniscient.

For example, look at these queries:

• How will you ensure that your plan of action does not increase the risk of violent crime, including gun deaths?
• How will you ensure that your plan of action does not increase suicides by firearms?

In their letter, Raskin and McBath—both historically anti-gun—write, “As Members of Congress committed to safeguarding Americans’ rights enshrined in both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, we are determined to protect our communities against lethal gun crime in a manner consistent with the Second Amendment. We are confident that your forthcoming examination, pursuant to the recent executive order issued by President Donald Trump, of “all orders, regulations, guidance, plans, international agreements, and other actions of executive departments and agencies” in this area will, if carried out objectively and in good faith, find that such actions have overwhelmingly advanced these important goals in a way that is perfectly consistent with the Second Amendment. There is plainly no need for any new plan of action to, in the words of the executive order, “protect the Second Amendment rights of all Americans.”

Trump Exec Order Could Dismantle Biden-Harris Gun Controls

Courthouse News is reporting how “Former President Joe Biden took several steps during his term aimed at reducing gun violence, including a raft of executive orders clamping down on emerging firearms technology and raising background check requirements for gun purchases. Biden also signed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act in 2022, a bill which again hiked standards for purchasing firearms and funded state-level gun control programs.”

In the process, however, gun rights advocates say Biden weaponized federal agencies against licensed gun dealers and firearms owners.

The deadline for Bondi’s report is looming Friday, Courthouse News noted.
