Executive Order
Summary
The executive order, titled "Protecting Second Amendment Rights," declares the Second Amendment as crucial for security and liberty. It directs the Attorney General to review actions by executive departments and agencies from January 2021 to January 2025 to identify potential infringements on Second Amendment rights. The Attorney General must propose a plan to the President, via the Domestic Policy Advisor, to safeguard these rights, focusing on regulations, enforcement policies, litigation, firearm classifications, and application processes. The order emphasizes that it does not create enforceable rights and is subject to legal constraints and appropriations.
