3636 Whereas the Second Amendment to the Constitution safe-
3737 guards the right of the people to keep and bear arms, de-
3838 claring that such right shall not be infringed;
3939 Whereas James Madison, the father of the Second Amend-
4040 ment, stated, ‘‘Americans have the right and advantage
4141 of being armed—unlike citizens of other countries whose
4242 governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.’’;
4343 Whereas it has nonetheless been a stated goal of the Biden
4444 administration to restrict, burden, and undermine the
4545 ability of ordinary law-abiding citizens to exercise their
4646 right to keep and bear arms, by encouraging Federal,
4747 State, and local lawmakers to pass gun control measures
4848 that self-evidently violate the spirit and letter of the Sec-
4949 ond Amendment despite the understanding of the Second
5050 Amendment as an important protection against crime,
5151 tyranny, and oppression;
5252 Whereas there have been an increased number of rules issued
5353 by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explo-
5454 sives (ATF) in recent years aimed at restricting Ameri-
5555 cans’ right to keep and bear arms;
5656 Whereas the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has re-
5757 stricted the fundamental Second Amendment right enu-
5858 merated in the Bill of Rights by implementing policies
5959 that limit commercial firearm exports without providing
6060 adequate reasoning to why such a prohibition is nec-
6161 essary;
6262 Whereas President Trump has vehemently defended the con-
6363 stitutional right to own and purchase firearms by peeling
6464 back the Biden administration’s flagrant gun-control
6565 measures;

6969 Whereas President Trump is protecting law-abiding
7070 gunowners from the infringements of ATF and BIS poli-
7171 cies; and
7272 Whereas President Trump continues to empower law-abiding
7373 gunowners and firearm manufactures to ensure the Sec-
7474 ond Amendment remains secure: Now, therefore, be it
7575 Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 1
7676 (1) reaffirms the support for the Second 2
7777 Amendment and the constitutional guarantee that 3
7878 the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall 4
7979 not be infringed; 5
8080 (2) disapproves of the Biden administration’s 6
8181 gun control agenda and hostility towards the lawful 7
8282 gun industry; 8
8383 (3) disapproves of rule and policy changes by 9
8484 the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Ex-10
8585 plosives under the Biden administration to restrict 11
8686 citizen’s Second Amendment right; 12
8787 (4) disapproves of the Bureau of Industry and 13
8888 Security policies to limit lawful firearm exports and 14
8989 bad-faith attacks on civilian gun ownership; 15
9090 (5) supports President Trump’s actions to re-16
