President Trump’s 2027 Budget Proposal Seeks to End Biden-Era Gun Controls

AWR Hawkins  3 Apr 2026

 

President Donald J. Trump’s fiscal year 2027 budget proposal seeks to end numerous gun controls implemented by ATF (the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives)  during Joe Biden’s term in office.

 

Page 44 of the budget proposal contains the heading, “Protects the Constitutional Rights of American Citizens.”

 

Immediately after the heading, it says, “The Budget affirms the President’s commitment to definitively protect the Second Amendment and other constitutional rights of citizens.”

 

It states that protection of Second Amendment rights “includes investing $1.4 million for a new office within the Civil Rights Division solely dedicated to protecting Second Amendment rights from unlawful infringement on the right to bear arms and pursuing cases to definitively enshrine those rights in perpetuity…”

 

The Biden-era gun controls come into view about halfway through the paragraph, where it says:

The Budget continues to support the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) efforts to reverse regulations imposed by prior administrations that have effectively criminalized law-abiding gun ownership. The previous administration used the ATF to attack gun-owning Americans and undermine the Second Amendment by: requiring near-universal background checks; subjecting otherwise lawful gun owners to up to 10 years in prison for failing to register pistol braces that make it possible for disabled veterans to use firearms; the imposition of excessive restrictions on homemade firearms; and the revocation of Federal Firearms Licenses.

Gun Owners of America said the budget “affirms Trump’s pro-2A agenda.”

That would be a good start!  Certainly also a good reminder that we’ll never get perfection in a president but he is better on the 2A side than any of the alternates put forward and we are chipping back against prior 2A rights infringements under his term.

 

Imagine how much 2A ground we’d be loosing if Kamala won because a majority of voters were in the “we like guns but won’t vote 2A” or the “never Trump because he is not the unicorn perfect human” crowd?  I shudder to think of it…

Thanks Mauserme for posting that.  It's good to know.

Now,  with Bondi gone, perhaps there will be more positive movement in the DoJ as well.

Excuse me for being cynical, but until these changes are enacted in legislation (as in passed by Congress and signed by the President) , or published in the Federal Register for actual implementation, this just looks to me an awful lot like political posturing.
