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

Whereas President Trump is protecting law-abiding
gunowners from the infringements of ATF and BIS poli-
cies; and
Whereas President Trump continues to empower law-abiding
gunowners and firearm manufactures to ensure the Sec-
ond Amendment remains secure: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 1

Amendment and the constitutional guarantee that 3
the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall 4

plosives under the Biden administration to restrict 11
citizen’s Second Amendment right; 12

Security policies to limit lawful firearm exports and 14
bad-faith attacks on civilian gun ownership; 15
(5) supports President Trump’s actions to re-16
peal harmful policies imposed by the Biden adminis-17
tration on law-abiding gunowners; and 18
