At Townhall.com today Katie Pointer Baney has a piece entitled A Political Mandate in Support of Pro-Second Amendment Policy in which she makes the point that the new administration will have at least two years to put in place policies to guarantee the right to keep and bear arms for generations to come.
When President-elect Trump takes office in January, his administration will inherit a powerful mandate to protect and expand Second Amendment rights. With unified control of Congress, this incoming administration has an unprecedented opportunity to enact meaningful regulatory and legislative changes that safeguards the constitutional rights of millions of Americans.
The message from voters in the November election could not be clearer. Americans across the country have voiced their support for safer communities and the fundamental right to self-defense. The new administration must deliver on its campaign promises to defend these essential liberties.
Americans from all walks of life – including various racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and political backgrounds – are increasingly choosing to be their family’s first line of defense. The growing support for Second Amendment protections across the country, coupled with a unified Congress that supports pro-gun policies, creates a unique moment for lawmakers to work with the President-elect in advancing long-overdo measures such as national concealed carry reciprocity. The administration should also look to eliminate Biden-era regulatory changes, including reducing burdensome red tape on firearm ownership, as well as ensure that our fundamental rights continue to be upheld for future generations.
One thing Baney believes we can accomplish is the long desired National Concealed Carry legislation. I have to admit to trepidation about this legislation. If it is written correctly, it will just say that if a person is permitted to carry by his state of residence, it should be recognized by every other state. But the temptation will be to open up guns to federal regulation. Just what we don't need.
The solution is straightforward: establish a national framework that allows law-abiding gun owners to exercise their constitutional rights consistently throughout the country. This would not only strengthen individual liberties but also enhance personal safety and bring much-needed clarity to the legal landscape surrounding self-defense in America today.
The new administration should also roll back any Biden era executive orders and policies that hinder the right to bear arms and the demonization of legal gun sellers and manufacturers. Please read the whole article. It was not only gun owners who voted for Trump, but it is true that gun owners nearly universally voted for him. Don't we deserve to at least have gun ownership treated with the same drivers' licenses?
