Protecting Second Amendment Rights
AI Summary:
This is a policy document - specifically an Executive Order - regarding protection of Second Amendment rights.
This regulation directs the Attorney General to comprehensively review actions taken by executive departments and agencies between January 2021 and January 2025 that might potentially infringe on citizens' Second Amendment rights. Within 30 days of the order, the Attorney General must examine existing orders, regulations, guidance, plans, and international agreements to assess potential infringements and develop a proposed plan of action to protect Second Amendment rights. The review will specifically cover Presidential and agency actions, Department of Justice rules about firearms, enforcement policies, White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention reports, ongoing and potential litigation affecting firearms rights, classifications of firearms and ammunition, and the processing of firearms-related applications. The Attorney General will then work with the Domestic Policy Advisor to finalize and implement the plan. The order emphasizes that it does not create legally enforceable rights and must be implemented consistent with existing law and available appropriations.
