NRA-ILA: Trump Inauguration A Sea Change On The Second Amendment

The Trump Administration is now in power. We can all thank our lucky stars for that.

For the Second Amendment, this means a "sea change" in the direction of gun policy.

The NRA-ILA takes a look at what this change means for our gun rights.

They begin with:

Some elections are won and lost on narrow grounds. But on many of the most important issues of the day, Donald Trump’s policies promise not just to be different from, but the opposite of, Joe Biden’s. One such area is the Second Amendment. Joe Biden was the most anti-gun chief executive since Bill Clinton. Donald Trump, meanwhile, believes in the Second Amendment and has promised to take actions that will affirmatively protect and advance the right to keep and bear arms.

Joe Biden set the tone for his administration’s approach to firearms policy by nominating a professional gun control activist, David Chipman, to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The NRA helped defeat Chipman’s appointment, but his successor, Steven Dettelbach, was just as bad on the merits, if not as polarizing a personality.

Rep. Boebert's Introduced Bill To Abolish The ATF

This has been long in coming.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has introduced a bill that, if passed and signed by the president, would abolish the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearm and Explosives. Instead of supporting the people's rights under the Second Amendment, it has been a hindrance, especially under liberal regimes.

CBS Austin reported:

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., has introduced a bill to abolish the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the congresswoman announced Wednesday.

She argued in a press release the bureau should be eliminated before it "eventually" abolishes the Second Amendment.

“I cannot imagine under any circumstance or administration where the ATF serves as an ally to the Second Amendment and law-abiding firearm owners across America,” Rep. Boebert said. “As co-chair of the Congressional Second Amendment Caucus, I’m eager to continue this effort with Rep. Burlison to defend our constitutional rights.”

Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., who co-sponsored the bill, suggested in a statement the bureau has “no place in our government.”

“The ATF is emblematic of the deep-state bureaucracy that believes it can infringe on constitutional liberties without consequence,” he said. “If this agency cannot uphold its duty to serve the people within the framework of the Constitution, it has no place in our government.”

GOA to Fight Joe Biden’s Tyrannical Gun Control at Every Turn

Springfield, VA – Gun Owners of America (GOA) released the following statement after President Joe Biden announced many gun control measures which will circumvent Congress via executive action.

Erich Pratt, GOA’s Senior Vice President, said:

Gun Owners of America is wholeheartedly opposed to the unconstitutional gun control threatened today by President Biden – restrictions such as the attacks on homemade and brace equipped firearms and so-called ‘Red Flag’ Gun Confiscation Orders.

Joe Biden knows he cannot beat gun owners in Congress. Instead, he’s circumventing the legislative process to impose his own tyrannical vison by executive fiat.

GOA is committed to the defense of gun owners, their pistol-braced firearms, do-it-yourself firearm kits, unserialized homemade firearms, as well as any other lawfully-purchased, constitutionally protected items the Biden Administration proposes to criminalize or confiscate.

GOA’s grassroots members are primed and ready to fight back against whatever Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment violations Joe Biden is cooking up with his state-level so-called ‘Red Flag’ Gun Confiscation Order proposal.

GOA is also shocked at the brazen decision to nominate a registered anti-gun lobbyist to be Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. David Chipman’s anti-constitutional lobbying career clearly disqualifies him from holding public office.

GOA will spare no expense to defeat Biden’s tyrannical agenda and will rally gun owners and Second Amendment supporters nationwide to defend the right to keep and bear arms.

Erich Pratt, or another GOA spokesperson, is available for interviews. Gun Owners of America is a grassroots nonprofit dedicated to protecting the right to keep and bear arms without compromise. For more information, visit GOA’s Press Center.
