Donald Trump has directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to review the gun regulations enacted during the Biden administration. This review could lead to the reversal of several key reforms, including expanded background checks for young buyers and increased funding for red flag laws.
Trump’s stance on gun rights aligns with his previous administration, which rolled back certain restrictions on gun ownership. Proponents of this new review believe it may undo many of Biden’s policies aimed at tightening firearm regulations.
The review focuses on several Biden-era reforms, including background checks for buyers under 21 and red flag laws, which allow authorities to confiscate guns from individuals deemed dangerous. Gun rights advocates argue these measures infringe on constitutional rights.
The Hearing Protection Act (HPA) is also gaining momentum, aiming to deregulate firearm suppressors. While supporters argue suppressors protect hearing and reduce recoil, critics warn that deregulating them could make it harder for law enforcement to detect gunfire in public settings.
