A major gun-rights organization is rallying its membership to urge President Donald Trump to replace recently fired U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi with someone with stronger convictions about protecting the Second Amendment.
Gun Owners of America (GOA) recently said that gun owners across America are “breathing a sigh of relief” with Bondi’s departure.
“Bondi came in with a weak 2A record and made things worse as attorney general,” GOA said in a national alert to members. “Under her watch, two Biden-era gun rules Trump promised to kill on day one are still on the books: the pistol brace ban and Biden’s universal background check rule.
“She never completed the Second Amendment report that the President ordered. And her DOJ bragged to Congress about the ATF, the same agency that spent four years targeting gun owners.”
Now that she’s gone, GOA leaders want President Trump to choose carefully when selecting Bondi’s successor.
“Now Trump has the chance to get it right,” GOA wrote in the alert. “The next attorney general can end enforcement of every Biden-era ATF rule, settle pro-gun litigation with binding commitments, and stop defending unconstitutional gun laws in court.”
GOA feels so strongly about the matter that it is encouraging its members nationwide to send a letter to President Trump, urging him to select a strong, Second Amendment-focused attorney general. The organization has even prepared a pre-written letter that members can simply sign and send to the White House.
“With the departure of Attorney General Pam Bondi, you now have an extraordinary opportunity to deliver on the promises that energized millions of gun owners in 2024,” the letter states. “I urge you to appoint a new attorney general who will finally bring the Department of Justice into full alignment with your pro-Second Amendment agenda.
The letter also reminds the president that in the 2024 elections, gun owners did not vote to preserve the status quo at the Department of Justice.
“We voted for you to de-weaponize federal power and reorient the DOJ toward protecting our constitutional rights, instead of being used against us,” the letter states. “… the Second Amendment community stood with you. Now we are asking you to deliver for us. Please appoint a new attorney general who will be a true champion for the Second Amendment, someone who will put constitutional rights first and finish the job you promised to do.”
Ultimately, GOA is asking all of its members to send the letter in hopes of getting the president’s attention on the matter.
“Don’t let this moment pass,” the alert stated. “The Biden-era gun rules are still on the books. The ATF is still open. The fight isn’t over. With your help, we can ensure a pro-2A champion is our country’s next attorney general.”
About Time! Lets hope it true.
Dear POTUS DJT, Since History Confirms Gun Control is the best pal Racism, Slavery and Genocide ever had please appoint someone who will deal with Gun Control Accordingly. Kindest regards, DW
PS…Do Not select a pathetic TTAG Gun talking blowbag who barked at Defining Gun Control by its History for a Gun Control History illiterate America.
You still haven’t defined “gun talking blowbag”.
Just hoping the President will pick me. I’ll start the layoffs at ATF even before I buy my new suit for the interview.
I now support large predatory birds running federal agencies.
I could not agree more that she was a bad pick bc of her 2A record in Florida. She would never have tried to cancel the NFA of ’34, or have done much of anything to help us.
Maybe staffing a team with pretty women isn’t a pattern for success?
The rumor in DC is that Bondi had a thing going with Eric Swalwell, and it was her pillow-whispering “need to know” information to him that ultimately got her ass canned.
It’s unsubstantiated of course, and besides that, I don’t give a shit who sleeps with whom.
But we should remember, Swalwell slept with a Chinese spy. And he wanted to use nuclear weapons against the American people. THOSE things are not in doubt.
So judgment was lacking, if not outright missing. If Bondi was gettin’ her some of THAT…or even if she was just having a platonic friendship with him, then sharing sensitive information with him would reflect bad judgment on her. The ATF didn’t go away under her, and she totally eff’d up on the whole Epstein “files are on my desk” debacle, so she already has bad judgment herself.
Agree, the Epstein mess was/is a fiasco. But, why? Was the message botched inside? Confusing signals? Trump should have given the order to immediately drop every prosecution of gun owners who did not commit an adjacent crime.
It’s pretty obvious that Trump is more focused on “geopolitics” and believes that he can delegate domestic priorities to other people whom he does not have the time to watch over carefully.
Put bluntly, there’s a bunch of shit foreign and domestic that is near the top of the priority list but also far more complicated than the public understands (or, honestly, is probably capable of understanding) and not all of it can get done in one pass. Nearly none of it can be done in a way that’s pleasing because it’s unpleasant business to begin with.
That’s before you mix in foreign and domestic propaganda.
Ignore the retarded portion of the Right and just focus on the Left for a second: FFS we now have reports now that “environmental groups” (climate activists) like “The Sunrise Group” are working with teachers’ unions to stage walkouts of public school staff and students in favor of straight up multicultural socialism on May Day. Those public reports are not being denied by anyone either, by the way.
Does no one else see the flashing red warning lights on that one?
At the same time, if the Iranians public negotiating position is to be believed, all this shit about the Strait of Hormuz was a timebomb from the jump, the only question being if it was nuclear or not.
The vast majority of people simply are not prepared for an adult conversation about common, curable VD in teenagers (or nursing homes, gross I know, but I’m not the one running up the ocular syphilis numbers), never mind running a fucking country.
Especially never mind running one that’s a quasi-empire by necessity.
I mean, we can’t even get a decent percentage of people to attend a fucking school board meeting but 1/4th of the GOP base wants to scream about how “dA jOoOs sTolE mUh EpStiEn FiLeZ!”, which pretty much proves the old adage that most people need to be hit in the mouth with a tire iron until they grow the fuck up.
Quasi empire? I admire the optimism but where in post WW2 are you looking? Wish I had much of anything else to question or argue with on your post but my only surprise is we haven’t had more problems making things burn already. Oh and unlimited jeets is likely the path to blue texas which if it goes that way is unfortunate but well deserved.
Quasi-empire because the major driver behind our behavior is to maintain world-wide freedom of navigation which, yes, benefits us but also benefits everyone else. If you go full isolationist 2 billion people starve in a year and WWIII probably kicks off for real.
True empires, of the historical flavor, are more extractive, more protectionist and do not favor international shipping that they do not specifically control. The Dutch, Spanish, French and English didn’t promote freedom of navigation for any other country, they did it for themselves.
In short, they’re far less altruistic than we are currently. Not that pure altruism exists in this domain, but that’s a child’s argument to begin with.
We made a deal post-WWII. We get the reserve currency and we do the lifting to maintain freedom of navigation and therefore free trade with regards to the sea. We suppress piracy (quite well, I might add) and we don’t allow other countries to project power into “international waters” for the purposes of cruising warfare or revenue generation via threats of force.
That behavior, which we curtail, is historically the root of a great many wars. We have, in many regards, removed the starting-point for those wars and therefore prevented such wars.
We get the reserve currency in return because that’s, mostly, what allows us to float and maintain the USN in sufficient numbers to police the world’s trade lanes.
Have we “abused” this role to some degree? Yes, as have those who ran anything similar in the past. That’s the nature of governmental changes in the “home” country, sometimes some idiot gets into position to fuck things up. Ask the Brits about that in South Africa ~1895, a situation that will spiral into the Boer War, a war which has some significant domestic English political parallels to our own incursion with Iran and the US political hornets’ nest that was kicked.
Let’s be really real here about Iran. Iran is not just Iran, it’s a Chinese proxy. I’m not sure how some goodly number of people have looked at the situation with Iran, post Venezuela and thought “The Jews!” have anything to do with this. The main city in question is not Tel Aviv, it’s Beijing
As I’ve pointed out to you in the past, there’s a real geopolitical potential here that the actual targets of this strike are a combination of China and Russia. An opportunity to bring Russia back into the fold of the West and to put China’s nuts in a vice.
Which, by the by, cutting off 15% of their overall oil flows (Iran + Venezuela) and removing the steep discounts they were getting from those two countries, starts the process of doing quite nicely.
Properly executed, along that path, the size of Xi’s balls doesn’t matter because this vice is larger.
Which, again by the by, would probably represent a longer range strategy of keeping the ChiComs from even thinking about Taiwan once they have domestic issues, increased cost and an absolute awareness that we’re not much concerned about their wunderwaffen, which we just demonstrated by destroying their puppet in the ME.
And let’s be real, Iran being China’s proxy was probably all about a long range plan from Beijing to keep us occupied in the ME instead of paying attention in the Pacific and Indian oceans.
It’s not nice, it’s not simple, it’s not clean but this is the kind of way that power is maintained and trust me when I tell you this: You do not want that to fail.
Figured Venezuela could be about China after the Panama canal thing. Iran confirmed it. The Saudis and friends having a pipeline system to bypass the strait afterwards was just hilarious. We are more benevolent as an empire than is historically typical but we do tend to get heavily involved whenever anyone tries pricing oil in dollars or choses not to participate in central banking. As to da jooz it is odd seeing greater israel become less of a conspiracy theory let alone some of the weirdness in Argentina let alone Ukraine but honestly my biggest gripe is AIPAC somehow not needing to register with FARA as anything else isn’t that outlandish compared to a lot of other groups.
As to da jooz it is odd seeing greater israel become less of a conspiracy theory…
Let’s be real here, like really, brutally, honestly real: the people complaining about the abuses of the Palestinians either have no idea what they’re talking about or are just purely anti-Israel. Even Genocide Watch never said there was a genocide in Palestine, that’s a bullshit talking point and, again being real, it’s not like the Palestinians have done anything in the past 60 years to warrant handing them a state. Frankly, they’re lucky they pulled the shit they’ve pulled post WWII or they’d have been exterminated to wild applause across the world.
Most of the rest of the countries in that area along the Med, except Jordan, are places that are… uh, dysfunctional at best. Blowing the shit out of them is… meh, who actually cares?
Basically no one who doesn’t have an alternate axe to grind.
…but honestly my biggest gripe is AIPAC somehow not needing to register with FARA…
An entirely legitimate concern. As is the influence of AIPAC in many regards. There’s no problem criticizing or being concerned about this.
I am however far more concerned about the manner in which the CCP/others fund(s) our internal dissidents, and I don’t mean people who want to skip out on vaccines. Huge amounts of the pro-illegal immigration/anti-borders/open-borders/anti-ICE/anti-Police/pro-gun control and generally anti-capitalist groups in this country derive funding internationally.
A huge percentage of the far Left is internationally funded, which isn’t shocking, considering how they all consider themselves “world citizens” and are all about the “workers of the world” uniting to overthrow the current system.
That worries me far more since those various agendas are actively at work in my nation and my state while working to undermine my county and my local schools while bankrupting the state and country at large.
CCP and Aipac adjacent groups fund a lot of the same groups up my way :coughteachersunioncough:. Either way funded to some extent with our own tax dollars after various degrees of separation. Both need scrutiny and any politicians playing ball with their activist antics needs tar and feathers but we both know that is unlikely absent some truly wild happenings. Up end both should have a period of reduced influence for various reasons so may be a space for a little America first.
If you crack down on the scams and money-laundering in general and that happens to hit AIPAC, cool. Rules for all, equality before the law and whatnot.
It just seems to me that focusing on AIPAC exclusively (as many “influencers” and podcast guests do), which is at best a single symptom of a larger problem, indicates a myopia that is counterproductive.
I’m simply more than a little tired of the “Jews run the entire world secretly like some sort of James Bond villain” thing which is an odd form of Jewish Supremacy coming from people who claim to dislike Jews. I’ve heard this nonsense since I was a literal kid and it hasn’t gotten more nuanced or intelligent in the intervening decades.
For immigration related fraud they are above catholic charities up here but yes many many similar groups to go after. I am just pleased the holocaust card is getting declined when they get called out for it lately which is slowly bringing us back to equality for all before the law. Now about a dozen other major groups to go after that are at least somewhat interrelated.
no more trayvon-enablers
“With your help.”
Oh man that’s a good one.
Lord Trump will help himself.
All the flag waving and I love America is just what he knows we like to see and hear.
Your second Amendment Rights are safe with me.
Ban the bumpstocks
Take the guns first due process later.
Lie after lie after lie however he is the most honest lieing president I’ve seen.
Like at a Trump rally.
” I don’t care about you, I just care about your vote.”
and the crowd cheered.
” I will end the Russian/Ukraine war in 24 hours. ” is that 24 hours on the planet Jupiter?
No more Federal help for the States, its DOGE buddy, He has wars to end, that money must go fund wars that will insure his future oil monopoly.
How many more times must Trumps military obliterate Iran before he gets that?
“I’ll lower the food prices, I lower the gas prices, I’ll lower prescription medical prices.”
The only thing his Highness seems to be lowering is this countries citizens bank accounts.
and the Republicans and Trump cultists think they’re going to have a majority in the house next election.
That’s class A delusional.
But with your help Mr President we are going to have our gun rights by golly. Yippee fucking hooray.
Maybe just one cup of coffee in the morning. And maybe switch to decaf.
I don’t drink coffee because I can’t find a Trump branded coffee. I do drink Vodka though, Trump branded Vodka as a matter of fact.
You know, because a tetoler who dislikes alcohol because it killed his brother sales a better booze then Grey Goose.
You nailed it Duly. The only thing I am happy with is the border and deportations. Mr. T is a disappointment in most other ways. The cacklin crow woulda kept the flow of beggars comin. That’s about the only saving grace. God help us.
We are stuck with Todd, Blanche!.. Trump will never get a second amendment champion or probably any Attorney General approved by this Congress.. the Democrats will probably sweep both houses up in the midterms.. thanks to these ridiculous gas prices.
Repubs are in trouble for sure. But dems are revulsive. Even to dem voters. And it’s showing up in the polls.
People just don’t want to be looking at a man dressed as a woman, and being told to treat that like a normal thing.
And people don’t want men changing in front of their middle-school aged daughters, or giving their high school daughters brain and spine damage during what’s SUPPOSED to just be a volleyball game.
And people don’t want their tax dollars going toward sex changes for … well, anybody, not just minors.
If gas prices hand Congress to the DNC then this country truly deserves to burn.
americans are drowning in nlawyer-bullshit from the atf/doj/fbi colonosopy-clowns
chicoms, dindus, illegal shitholers, muslims, pedocrats, politicians, & transits largely immune from punishment in the lawyer system
only gubmint priority = eliminate the armed/law-abiding
prove me wrong
Different President and administration, but the same of song and dance. Give us your votes and we make the 2A a priority when we are elected, we promise we are pro-2A. We got stabbed in the backs with the Republicans and Democrats with the assault weapons ban in 1994 for 10 years, along with endorsements for it from former Republican President Reagan, an anti-2A president from CA. We have had enough time to reverse most of these anti-2A acts over the last almost 100 years and out so called Republican representatives and senators have done nothing for us. Did you really expect Trump and former AG Bondi were going to be any different or has our Republican congress really support 2A in any meaningful way so far after almost 2 yrs have gone by and the mid terms coming in the fall.
Look at this on TTAG. Trump administration keeps the final rule for frames and receivers. WoW, I thought I voted for pro-2A in November 2024, but I got anti-2A instead.

Almost like the communist minded have been filling our institutional positions for decades largely unopposed and will continue to push their agenda unless removed by whatever means regardless of who we elect. Funny that.
