During the 2024 Presidential campaign, Donald Trump said that we’d be winning so much that we’d get tired of winning. Sure, he was exaggerating to make a point, but I have to say that I haven’t gotten the least bit tired of winning when it comes to our Second Amendment rights.
And the winning continues.
The Trump administration recently revoked a Biden administration policy that targeted gun stores and seemed to be for the purposes of routing the Second Amendment by shutting down all legal gun retailers. Aldgra Fredly writes,
The Department of Justice (DOJ) said on Monday that it will repeal a “zero tolerance” policy that Second Amendment advocates said allowed authorities to revoke the licenses of gun dealers over paperwork errors.
Critics of the policy, known as the Enhanced Regulatory Enforcement Policy, said it allowed the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to revoke gun dealers’ licenses for clerical errors that, prior to the policy, would have been considered minor infractions but under the zero tolerance policy were considered “willful” violations of the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968.
Fredly continues:
The DOJ said it is repealing the policy and revisiting two other rules: one aimed at reclassifying certain firearms as short-barreled rifles, and another concerning the definition of “engaging in the business” of selling guns.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said that the policy, which the Biden administration enacted in 2021, had “unfairly targeted law-abiding gun owners” and “created an undue burden on Americans seeking to exercise their constitutional right to bear arms.”
“This Department of Justice believes that the 2nd Amendment is not a second-class right,” Bondi said in a statement.
After the Biden administration’s barely veiled hostility towards the Second Amendment and towards legal gun owners in America, it’s refreshing to see an administration and a Department of Justice that takes that part of the Constitution seriously and as worth upholding.
Of course, anti-2A activists are going to lose their minds over this decision by the DOJ.
Good.
If a decision drives anti-2A zealots up the wall, you can bet that it was a good, smart, and right decision.
So, Trump said that we’d get tired of winning. But if winning means more pro-gun decisions by this administration, I can’t imagine ever getting enough. Not until the Second Amendment is restored to it’s full enforcement: Constitutional carry for all adults across the U.S. without restrictions.
