On February 7, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled “Protecting Second Amendment Rights,” which aimed to halt federal policies perceived as infringing on Americans’ right to bear arms. The order directed the Attorney General to review regulations and actions from the previous administration, including those by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), and to propose a plan to eliminate restrictions on gun ownership. This move was celebrated by gun rights advocates but faced criticism from gun control groups, who argued it could undermine public safety.
Meanwhile, Trump faced backlash for his administration’s ongoing efforts to reshape federal agencies, including the dismissal of inspectors general and the removal of diversity and inclusion programs. Critics argued these actions weakened government accountability and inclusivity, while supporters praised them as steps toward efficiency.
February 7, 2025, highlighted the complexities of Trump’s leadership, blending assertive policy moves with contentious decisions. It underscored the challenges and controversies shaping his presidency in its early days.
