A top gun-rights organization is holding President Donald Trump’s feet to the fire concerning the right to keep and bear arms, insisting his administration live up to their promises about protecting the Second Amendment rights of lawful Americans.
On November 11, the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) issued a statement condemning the Trump Administration’s ongoing defense of federal gun control laws and calling on President Trump to take immediate action to restore the integrity of his pledge to protect the Second Amendment.
“Since President Donald J. Trump signed the “Protecting Second Amendment Rights” executive order in February, his Department of Justice has done exactly the opposite—relentlessly defending the federal government’s unconstitutional gun control regime,” the statement said. “Instead of using the Justice Department’s vast power to secure Americans’ right to keep and bear arms, the Trump DOJ has used it to fight against the People—even taking extreme positions in court to resist injunctions that block the government’s enforcement of gun laws that federal judges have already found unconstitutional.”
As FPC pointed out in the statement, the Trump Administration’s defense of existing anti-gun laws isn’t limited to just a single topic or issue.
“Last month, the Administration’s Solicitor General, D. John Sauer—the government’s top appellate lawyer, often called the ‘10th Justice’ for his influence with the Supreme Court—urged the Court to deny review in a case challenging the National Firearms Act’s (NFA) registration and taxation scheme for short-barreled rifles,” the statement said. “The Administration argued that the NFA’s intrusive requirements are ‘consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation,’ effectively endorsing the very federal overreach the Second Amendment was written to prevent.”
Likewise, the administration has worked to encourage the Supreme Court to avoid answering pivotal questions in the Second Amendment debate.
“In an effort to convince the Court to dodge the question of unconstitutional federal restrictions, the Trump DOJ suggested that the Court should focus on ‘laws banning AR-15 rifles,’” the statement explained. “Yet, when the opportunity arose for the Administration to support exactly such cases—a challenge to an AR-15 rifle ban out of Illinois—the Trump DOJ was silent.
“Rather than support good Supreme Court vehicles, the Trump DOJ has chosen to game the system and throw its weight behind bad cases likely to strengthen the government’s power and weaken individual liberty, such as United States v. Hemani, which the Supreme Court recently agreed to hear.”
Ultimately, FPC is calling on the Trump Administration to quickly reverse course and live up to the promises the president made about protecting the Second Amendment.
“The Trump DOJ’s sustained pattern of anti-Second Amendment litigation cannot be dismissed as bureaucratic inertia—it reflects deliberate choices,” the statement concluded. “FPC calls on President Trump to immediately direct his Department of Justice to end its defense of federal gun control laws and to begin using the full power of the executive branch to actively protect and advance the Second Amendment rights of the American people.”
No one should be surprised. Pam Bondi was never openly pro 2A.
Caving in to the Uniparty?
Perhaps Trump et al sees a bunch of media brainwahed weak knee Gun talking blowbags ready to jump ship. Same gutless self serving ratbassturds who ran to join sleazy orgs. that would keep them safe from brace raids all while saying nothing about those excluded…it was a every twerp for himself instead of it being all or none.
Needless to say I have zero respect for the majority on this forum who any first year Gun Control zealot could easily been over.
The fpc is all in on “this nation’s history of firearm regulations” all while failing to say the vast majority of this nation’s history of firearm regulations are Rooted in Slavery and Racism. Like the gutless wonders on this forum and elsewhere the fpc won’t say that to avoid offending the closet bigoted garbage that stink up the 2A. Words like Slavery and Racism are water of a Duck’s back to bigoted garbage.
So never mind Trump at this early stage go look in a mirror to see the problem.
As I’ve said before, this is pretty obvious.
They’re defending Federal power. That’s why they go after state/local laws aggressively but defend Federal laws with equal vigor.
It’s not about relinquishing power, it never is, it’s about which level of government gets that power.
While government may be useful to you in certain situations it is not and never will be your friend. It may remain useful to you for a long time but you will discover, very quickly, how this relationship works if .gov ever discovers that you have something it wants.
Nobsense Sir Epstein.
Our President said Our Second Amendment Rights were safe with Him🙏 and I believe that.
Our President would not let gun control, gun control which history has proven goes hand in hand with slave shacks, racism, the noose, and genocide to continue as it was under biden.
FPC it appears is just another group of gun talking blow bags slandering Our President.
With each passing month, my fear that Trump will just slowly move into the category of “swamp creature”.
I voted for him, and I’m not sorry I did. Look at the alternative.
But as he does more that makes the establishment happy, and congress seems to be unwilling or unable to codify any thing he did that was good into any kind of a lasting law, or repeal of a law, I believe we are looking at yet another failed republican presidency. Mostly the only kind we’ve seen in my lifetime.
I’m leaning more into the “national divorce” category. I just don’t see America continuing to be viable in the long term. If they don’t take that as an alternative to Civil War, I suspect that that will be were we will end up.
“National divorce” is just a way to say “civil war” and get a few more points in Scrabble.
It’s like the people advocating for “Balkanization” as a peaceful goal because they read some “critical scholars”. Uh, let’s be real, that was a bloodbath. Twice.
Nobsense Sir Epstein.
Our President said our Second Amendment Rights are safe with Him🙏 and I believe that.
President Trump🙏 would never let gun control an agenda history has confirmed goes hand in hand with racism, slave shacks, the noose and genocide, go unchecked as it had under the biden administration.
It appears as if the FPC is just another group of gun talking blow bags slandering our President Donald J Trump🙏.
Baron in 2028, Go team Trump for the win.
[->A Devout Follower, not Rusty]
LOL!!! Debbie be mad at you 🤣
He just misses kamala so let him rant.
I just wrote to the President this weekend, so I’m letting that one go through whatever processing and assimilation is needed. But I’ll send another email later this week.
And really, this is very timely. The FPC is not asleep at the switch or the wheel, and I’m grateful for that.
That reminds me…where is the NRA on this? Not a peep out of them? And here we’re being told that they have reinvented themselves almost into deity status. I’m sure NRA will come out with something today. Right?
– Not Travis
ersatz travis…Make yourself useful…go back to bed.
So I should *NOT* have written to the president? And I should not have mentioned Patrick “Tate” Adiamak’s unconstitutional imprisonment?
And I shouldn’t write to the president again later this week?
I’ve said it many times before. This is how we get ants. Oh wait. This is how we snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. We beat each other up. We insult each other. And we fight the wrong fight. All while the ATF and our congressional masters are planning new ways to take away our constitutional rights.
And that’s how liberals and communists keep winning. Because they’re not busy having a knife fight with people on their side!
What, pray tell, should I do to make myself useful in YOUR inestimable opinion, dear Debbie? I mean after my nap; because that’s a great suggestion, thank you very much!
Snatch ants are usually just called “crabs” in lay speak.
Really though, that might explain why Debs is so temperamental all the fucking time.
She’s not mad that you wrote to the Don, she’s concerned that you left out very important words and phrases from your letters such as dumfuk, ratbassturds, sleazy, twerp, zealot, gutless, brainwashed, closet bigoted, –
you get the picture. In the future, please remit your correspondence to her for pre-approval; she’ll get right back to you after completing her latest secret builds inside of her three-phase powered workshop, where she also manufactures her coveted cut-off valve stem trigger plugs – and other assorted types of plugs.
Yes, yes, yes!!! That was hilarious. I thought I was the only one that was sick of hearing that same old tripe. I guess not. Again, thank you.
Don’t worry, under Donald Trump, our nation is safe as a 15-year-old girl giving a massage at Mar-A-Lardo!
After all, a five-year-old and a 15-year-old aren’t the same thing, so rest well American parents!
Didn’t happen, and you know it.
I support Trump but not absolutely. Yes I get the alternative sucks. The onerous ICE roundups are over the top but understand you are a criminal by definition by being here. At least the good guys & gals have most of the firepower!
As far as I know, they’re still only removing dangerous people (along with anybody unlucky enough to be related to them).
I’m okay with that.
“As far as I know, they’re still only removing dangerous people“
Another Fox News viewer, remarkably uninformed about the actual facts on the ground.
“Only 16 of over 600 detained by ICE in Chicago area have criminal histories, records show
By Sabrina Franza, Charlie De Mar, Rebecca McCann, Christopher Selfridge
Updated on: November 15, 2025 / 10:51 AM CST / CBS Chicago
Only 16 people on the list – or 2.6% – have criminal histories that the federal government deemed make them high risks to public safety.
“That’s not a good percentage, to say the least. I think it runs contradictory to what has been perpetuated over the last several months, where this is a targeted enforcement operation designed to go after kind of the worst of the worst,” Balliet said.“

Oh that sucks…… well anyways we started deportations.
If they’re here illegal, they have a criminal history, so it’s all good regardless.
Miner, so now you’re too embarrassed to use your own handle when you proffer your tripe? Luckily this site gives you a convenient alias prepopulated for you to post under, huh pussy?
felix…By being here “illegally.” Otherwise you are waaaaaay short on truth and long on propaganda.
Now see there…we agree on something!
Put your butterfly knife away; we’re good!
I touched on this tangentially the other day.
They’re not going to fix any of the *major* things fast because they can’t.
Canceling H1B’s and actually using E-verify while going after employers is easy to do, it’s the consequences of doing it that, honestly, probably totally collapse the country and then, because of our position, the world.
The same thing is true of the debt, housing prices, the actual unemployment rate, the gig economy, Gaza and a host of other bit items for the base.
The reality is this: Second and third (and beyond) order effects are real and in many cases they’re quite, as in like “deadly”, serious because they’re enormous disruptions to major systems. While one might be survivable multiple are not and none of these things can be dealt with in a vacuum. Shit turns into Egypt’s First Intermediate Period real quick, and no one in charge wants anything to do with that.
There’s the rock of the current status quo being unsustainable and getting worse and the hard place of doing the obvious “right thing” creating layers of unsurvivable blowback. The general result that they pick the lesser of two evils ands that not much gets done, so eventually the rock is what will get us.
It’s very easy to promise to do these things when you don’t have to face the actual consequences of them. Like Tim Pool saying he’d release the Epstein files even if it caused the complete implosion of the US, that society would “deserve it”. Easy to say when you can’t do shit but run your mouth. Looking down the barrel of “Do this and XX million people die” is another thing entirely (which interestingly has blackmail implications but that’s another discussion).
Long story short: The web of interconnected *major* issues all have the capacity to be “fixed” in ways that do fix the problem but also create disconnects that run a serious risk of literally destroying the country and crippling the world economy, potentially killing more people that the Commies wiped out in the 20th Century.
When things go bad millions will die regardless, whole lot easier to rebuild with a common language/culture after the fact. Even with that the racial splits will be gnarly.
It depends on what you mean by “bad”.
IRL, a serious economic downturn in the US would kill people elsewhere, not here. At least not in any great numbers here. But it would stir the pot here and whoever got tagged with the blame politically would be dead in the water.
There’s also the option that they seem to have chosen, which is a process that could be said to be “attrition”. A couple million illegals a year net emigration (yeah, yeah I know not technically the right word since they’re not from here) is something that can be adjusted to. 20 million+ very quickly can’t be.
It’s not that hard to figure out the debt issue either. It simply takes coordination over time. However, it needs to be done smartly and with actual data, assuming the government can actually produce such a thing these days. You can’t just *free* all those dollars with no plan on what to do with them or the velocity you produce will be a problem. You also can’t tell all the pension people “Hey, sorry but next Tuesday you better have an investment plan because your pension is going to be a 401K, good luck!”.
The issue there is the “over time” bit. Some decent number of people are going to be scared/not want to change/whatever and freak out. They’ll be easy for future politicians to take advantage of by altering the plan in ways that make it unworkable when the pols follow short term political incentives at the cost of long term fiscal/monetary gains. A particular problem given the geriatric nature of our political class, which mostly wouldn’t live to see the big benefits.
If we go the route of technofeudalism the best case scenario is we become a more dystopian version of Europe. In many ways a full collapse would be the better outcome. As to the rest of the world burning and we have to absorb the changes in trade supplies and logistics………well colonialism does have an interesting history and realistically there would only be a few regions capable of doing much. On the domestic side sucks getting old.
I have the inkling that technofeudalism of the European variety won’t take hold here.
People already reject AI slop out of hand and even the shitlibs of Denver are raging mad that the mayor had AI *powered* traffic cameras installed after the city council voted down the cash for them. There’s even talk amongst said shitlibs of creating their own American Bladerunner group due to the effectiveness of the British version in London.
The racial splits will be a concern, regardless. At least based on the younger kids I talk to these days.
“Canceling H1B’s“
Trump won’t cancel H1B visas, he says we need them because American workers aren’t smart enough:
“Trump says the US doesn’t have talent to fill jobs, needs foreign workers
Published: Nov. 12, 2025 at 5:40 AM PST
(CNN) – President Donald Trump is defending the country’s need for skilled foreign workers.
During an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, Trump said the United States does not have enough talented workers to fill jobs domestically.“
https://www.kptv.com/2025/11/12/trump-says-us-doesnt-have-talent-fill-jobs-needs-foreign-workers/?outputType=amp
We need them for cheap techno slave labor to prop up overleveraged businesses. They need to go as well and only because of cascading collapse issues any more slowly than illegals. See also foreign university students with regards to universities. This is one of the blown messaging points for Trump thus far but we will see what is done vs what is said.
herb’s that guy who makes you think that maybe Trump’s right about people not being smart enough and that Anton Chigurh’s choice of weaponry might be spot on.
Really do need to get around to seeing that movie but lately herb reminds me more of Miner than anything.
It’s not a bad flick.
As for herb, there are certainly similarities between the two accounts. I’m still not entirely convinced that miner is an actual person. herb’s never gotten prolific enough for me to pay that much attention, frankly. The account’s been here on and off for a pretty long time though.
Now, to be fair, I said the same thing about Vlad. An account which would trash any firearm under discussion by simply stitching together complaints from message boards about [gun] and claiming to have had [all those issues].
Can’t prove it, but the formulaic responses remind me of early to mid 2000’s attempts at neural net chatbots that grew out of the early open source attempts to make bots that learned in FPS multiplayer games going back to Quake 2.
Between AI and all Indians chat bots have come a long way and it often takes some creative blasphemy to confirm that *I am not a robot* for various groups.
Ultimately I guess the question is: Bot, NPC, Indian dude… what’s the difference to you when responding is just wasting your time?
Just the way you have to be offensive to break the script if you get bored.
Why do you think I swear and use weird analogies, similes and other oddball turns of phrase or foreign languages all the time?
Well works for normies depending on who programs the bot or which server farm you can post stuff about tiananmen square, demand they denounce vishnu, the talamud, acknowledge Israel has nukes and absolutely shouldn’t, point out percapita slave ownership by various demographics in the antebellum south, or point out that today’s republican is mostly a 90’s democrat. One way or another it does serve as a tard filter in addition to disrupting the various bot scripts.
Unlike your teachers, I’m not going to give you a reward for repeating a prior part of the conversation back to us.
Now, follow the science and go consume a family sized bottle of Tylenol.
” the alternative sucks”
Are you referring to the choice between two weevils and choosing the lesser?
Choosing the lesser still has you eating bug shit.
They all have to go but I understand and am ok with the current priority. What will be the tougher issue is unfucking our educational system while also cracking down on foreign workers visas which are mostly fraud (applicants and expressed need) as well.
“while also cracking down on foreign workers visas which are mostly fraud“
Right, a crack down on foreign worker visa fraud is in order, the fraudsters should be deported along with their anchor babies.
“Nude photographs published this week are raising fresh questions about the accuracy of a key aspect of Melania Trump’s biography: her immigration status when she first came to the United States to work as a model.
The racy photos of the would-be first lady, published in the New York Post on Sunday and Monday, inadvertently highlight inconsistencies in the various accounts she has provided over the years. And, immigration experts say, there’s even a slim chance that any years-old misrepresentations to immigration authorities could pose legal problems for her today.
While Trump and her husband, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, have said she came to the United States legally, her own statements suggest she first came to the country on a short-term visa that would not have authorized her to work as a model. Trump has also said she came to New York in 1996, but the nude photo shoot places her in the United States in 1995, as does a biography published in February by Slovenian journalists.
The inconsistencies come on top of reports by CBS News and GQ Magazine that Trump falsely claimed to have obtained a college degree in Slovenia but could be more politically damaging because her husband has made opposition to illegal immigration the foundation of his presidential run.“

None of that happened. Just stop.
I mean he writes and trolls about as effectively as a 3rd world peasant so may want to check his status.
gun control *******, proceed @ your own risk
What are you going to do? Write another bad word in exclamation points?
FUCK YES, THAT SHIT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE FUCK I’M GOING TO FUCKING DO!!!!!!!!
Umm – asterisks, actually.
Oh, and your caps lock is stuck on due to something wierd getting stuck on your screen.
Exclamation points were what was said, so that’s what I used.
Plus, it’s hard to REALLY FUCKING YELL ON THE INTERNET using *’s. So hard in fact that Joe R never managed to pull it off.
Again. . . .Trump is not an ideologue; he is a transactionist. He is about whatever gains him a selected, profitable, object. Likely he sees no political advantage to him for kicking over all the restrictions on “gun rights”. Truth is, given his limited time in office, Trump doesn’t need a movement to lead, but only whatever enables him to bend the legislatures to whatever advances his individual vision of “America First”, including a strategic retreat when advantageous; to fight another day.
Enjoy whatever Trump wrests from the Dims, but don’t expect him to be the equalizer against everything Dim/Leftist/Commie. Take note that Trump cannot lose, even if he loses. It is up to those who see Trump as El Cid to carry the movement forward. We, the people, do not win because we control the top government office, but only if we force total directional change at every political level below President; we do not have a king.
Politicians only need our votes to get elected. Once elected, there comes the rub for us 2A supporters as voters. Politicians don’t need you until they want to get reelected again. Did everyone really think the Trump administration was going to be any different than our past Rino administrations we have had on the subject of the 2nd Amendment. Reagan supposedly was pro-2A but still banned firearms and supported it by recommending the AWB in the 1990s. Reagan had a hand in reeling in open carry and other anti-2A laws while governor. Bush 1, was not much different. Bush 2, only let the AWB sun set without doing anything major for us 2A supporters and had both the Senate and the House. Trump’s first time, more of the same lip service we have all heard. Trump’s second time, same lip service. Where does that bring us back to? We still have to fight it out in the lower courts till the Supreme Court thinks about throwing us a bone to take on a 2A case. The 14th Amendment really screwed us at the state level with 2A. No one wants to challenge the 14th Amendment. Only our money and lawyers to support 2A law suites is the way forward with no support from the administration.
