The results of the poll above is a small sample size, but it reflects something I hear a lot, and the majority is just wrong. This is the best administration on the Second Amendment since Reconstruction. That’s just objectively true.
No other administration has filed lawsuits (let alone multiple) to vindicate gun rights. And besides a lone amicus brief in Trump’s first term, no prior admin has filed amicus briefs to fight against state “assault weapons” bans, magazine bans, ammo background checks, sensitive places, etc.
If you are unhappy with the Trump administration on Second Amendment grounds, you basically fall into one of two camps…or both:
- You expected the administration to not defend federal gun laws.
- You live in a red state and have it pretty good already, so you undervalue how big a help they are to those of us behind enemy lines.
It was never reasonable to expect this administration to not defend existing federal laws. The DOJ choosing not to defend laws is relatively rare, and it’s a good thing that it is, when you take a longer-term view.
Example: Remember how much Biden and his administration hated the PLCAA? Yes, well the Biden DOJ still defended the law in court despite their hatred of it. Because it’s their job. I don’t want a Gavin Newsom DOJ deciding to not defend laws we like.
That’s not to say Trump get perfect marks from me. I continue to be annoyed on the scope of relief issue, lack of an Adamiak/Hoover pardon, and the way they rushed Hemani up to SCOTUS (though that may yet end up OK for us). And of course we’ve sued about the NFA, though again, I never expected otherwise on that one.
But it’s just nonsense to focus exclusively on that and undervalue the much more massively important efforts the administration has made against state AWBs, mag bans, sensitive places, federal rights restoration, and more. Just last week we had the DOJ showing up in court to help argue against California’s ammunition background checks, a law that denies thousands of people the ability to buy ammo, and yet all I heard the last couple weeks from political GunTube was largely misleading outraged takes on the pistol brace stuff (TL:DR — the brace law is just back to what it was before the rule existed).
If an administration is taking unprecedented efforts on Second Amendment rights while getting nothing but grief for it, I worry that they’ll prioritize something else instead. It’s not like DOJ Civil Rights has any shortage of things to do.

Is the headline supposed to be “blackpiling” or “back piling”?
So what are they doing about Virginia? Arguably the biggest violation of the 2nd amendment is happening there, and don’t forget Minnesota, Rhode Island, Illinois, New Jersey, etc. Perception is reality, so show me what they’re doing besides a few half-hearted lawsuits that won’t amount to anything and maybe I’ll change my mind.
What would you expect them to do?
The “gun community” supported the bump stock ban in 2017. They said there was no reason to own a device that simulates a machine gun. They said “its a waste of ammunition.”
They say the FRT, the binary trigger, the force reset trigger, the bumpstock. Are all “just a waste of ammunition.” They say they none of them are1 accurate.
And having trained with machine guns, when I was in the US Army. I say these people don’t know what they’re talking about. But in order to get the level of training required for accurate machine gun fire, you need to use a lot of ammunition. Can you afford that as a civilian???
Maybe you can, it’s your money. You spend it as you choose in a free society.
The Second Amendment was not written so you could go hunting. With your single shot break action or bolt action long gun. The 18th century version of a machine gun. The pickle gun, was well-known to the founders. I believe it had an 18 round capacity. And there were air rifles over two hundred years ago used in combat. I believe they had a 20
round capacity.
And “exploding hand grenades” were used during the american revolutionary war. I think so many folks need to read firearm history, before John Browning. It didn’t just start with him.
The bump stock and these other devices as mentioned above, are far less expensive than a real real thing. I call them the “poor man’s machine gun”.
And the “gun community” has a real problem, with the average ordinary american, having access to rapid fire weapons.
And be honest, there is no real support in the “gun community” for glock “switch” ownership.
And the problem was never the glock switch.
The problem is the mostly black teenage boys, raised without a father. Who didn’t have his love and discipline in the home. And wasn’t taught the responsible that comes with having any firearm.
Because it’s a father, who is the primary educator about guns in the family. In the United States of America.
President Donald Trump’s two oldest son are big supporters of the second amendment. And there use to be videos on youtube of them, shooting their personally owned machine guns.
The Trump administration has been great for the second amendment. And no they are not perfect. So I hope you are continuing to go to the government for redress of grievances still. And I don’t support the war against Iran. I think they’re evil, but I don’t support going to war against them.
Just like I was against going to war with the USSR. But I support having a military big enough, to scare them out of trying something. Just like I have enough guns to scare away criminals or my own government.
People haven’t realized that going to war is pretty cheap now. A $100 drone with grenades attached, and thousands of them, makes a very inexpensive weapon.
The military-industrial complex has made war very inexpensive now.
Keeping my civil rights is far more important than this war against Iran.
But some people just want the government to give them “free” beer. Like the government did in the book “1984”.
Only now they want “free” marijuana or some other “free stuff” from the government.
“The “gun community” supported the bump stock ban in 2017. They said there was no reason to own a device that simulates a machine gun. They said “its a waste of ammunition.”

Hmmmm no.
outliers are not the “gun community”, even if they may be part of the “gun community”.
They said, “Its not about the bumpstock.”
While at the same time saying, “It’s a waste of ammunition.”
I don’t trust them just like I don’t trust the democrats.
They have a very rocky history with new gun technology.
I’m not a hunter. Never gone hunting.
Never been a competition shooter. But that I’d like to try it.

Tyrant confiscation happens every time: Canada Says They Will Send Police Door To Door After Failed Gun Buy Back.
(Colion) “In this video, I break down the shocking reality behind Canada’s so-called gun buyback program, why many gun owners see it as outright confiscation, and what happened after roughly 98% of affected Canadian gun owners refused to comply. Instead of taking the hint, government officials are now talking about using the RCMP and other agencies throughout the spring and summer to collect prohibited firearms.
I get into the timeline of Canada’s gun control measures, from the ban on thousands of so-called assault-style firearms, to the handgun freeze, to the current push for enforcement. I also cover the government’s claim that this is still somehow ‘voluntary,’ the plan to use off-duty or retired officers, and why multiple police forces reportedly want no part of going door to door to seize firearms from law-abiding citizens.
More importantly, this video looks at the bigger picture: how gun registration can lead to bans, how bans can lead to mandatory buybacks, and how buybacks can become confiscation once compliance drops. Canada is being used as a real-world example of what happens when politicians say, ‘Nobody’s coming for your guns,’ and then keep moving the line.
I also break down the leaked audio surrounding Minister Gary Anandasangaree, the political implications of the policy, and why so many people believe this was never really about public safety in the first place. If you’ve been following Canada gun laws, the Canadian gun buyback, RCMP firearm seizures, Justin Trudeau gun control, or the broader debate over confiscation vs buyback, this video lays it out clearly.
If you care about Second Amendment rights, gun control policy, and what happens when governments move from regulation to enforcement, this is a conversation worth paying attention to.”
