The Dems take their efforts to restrict gun rights and infringe on the 2A very seriously. The Republicans, apparently, do not. That was evident at the confirmation hearing for Trump’s AG pick, Pam Bondi. Bondi doesn’t historically have a very good relationship with the 2A. As well as a few other Constitutional amendments. IT WILL BE UP TO US TO REMIND THIS ADMINISTRATION ON OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — More than a dozen Democratic state attorneys general said Thursday they plan to defend two gun regulations now being challenged in court, including one banning devices that enable semiautomatic guns to fire more quickly.
New Jersey Democratic Attorney General Matt Platkin said his state and others with Democratic attorneys general, plan to intervene in cases already in the court system ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration Monday.
One case involves devices known as forced reset triggers, or FRTs, which can be installed on weapons, functionally turning them into machine guns, according to Platkin. The other centers on a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives regulation that came out of a 2022 law. The rule aims to close what is sometimes called the “gun show loophole,” by requiring up to an estimated 95,500 firearm sellers to conduct background checks.
