President Donald Trump on Friday took his first executive action on firearms, backing up his campaign promises to protect the Second Amendment rights of American gun owners.
“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,” the executive order begins. “Because it is foundational to maintaining all other rights held by Americans, the right to keep and bear arms must not be infringed.”
Part of the action involved Trump charging Attorney General Pam Bondi with examining current laws that might be infringing on Americans’ right to keep and bear arms.
