Bondi's Recent Action Undermines the 2nd Amendment and Gun Owners' Rights

Pam Bondi just cannot get out of their own way.  She continues to show her true colors as anti-2A by supporting everything she can to hurt gun owners.  There is no other way to put this.  She continually supports the rolling back of gun rights.  While it is true that the Justice Department under Pam Bondi has filed positive briefs on our behalf, the number of briefs that go against gun owners’ interests are stacking up.

This is something President Trump should rectify, either by ordering her directly to comply with the Executive Order protecting the 2^nd Amendment or replacing her entirely.  The latest move by Pam Bondi involves the state of Missouri and their 2^nd Amend Preservation Act.  Missouri took the framework that many states have laid out in their Sanctuary Cities laws, to ban cooperation of local authorities from working with Federal Agencies to enforce gun control laws.

This law was born out of the massive overreach and unconstitutional opinions from Biden’s ATF and DOJ.  It was meant to protect the citizens of Missouri from Federal overreach.  With the urging of Bondi, the Supreme Court declined to hear the case effectively ending the law.  This is cowardice on the part of the Supreme Court which has been reluctant to take up 2^nd Amendment cases at all lately.  This is also on Pam Bondi to successfully lobby the Supreme Court to pass on this issue.

Now let our stance here at 2 If By Sea Tactical be clear.  When it comes to ANY part of the Bill of Rights, including the 2^nd Amendment, these things are DIRECTLY spoken to the Federal Government.  The 14^th Amendment to the Constitution mandates that ALL states must adhere to these principles.

What does it mean?  In our opinion, this means that there cannot be ANY state gun laws.  All gun laws must come from the Federal Government as is their purview.   However, there is a big BUT here, if you, as the Courts thus far have, including the Supreme Court, are going to allow Sanctuary Cities policies to stand, then the 2^nd Amendment Preservation Act must stand as well. 

This is an all or nothing deal.  There can be no in between if all rights are truly created equal as mentioned by Justice Thomas in his Bruen decision.  We must begin to restore the very tenants this great nation was built upon, or there will be nothing left to defend. 

All rights must be treated equally, and with the same weight as another.  Otherwise, you end up with no rights at all.  This will happen because who is the decider on which right is more important than others?  What would be the standard for such a determination?  Everything would be purely subjective and thus incapable for equal opportunity under the law. 

The Trump Administration must reverse their positions here post haste if they want to have a shot in 2026.  Gun owners are among the most motivated voting blocks in America.  We tend to have long memories over infringements regardless of party.  Ronald Reagan is still plagued in memory by Gun Owners for his willingness to allow the Hughes Amendment to stand within the Firearm Owners Protection Act (1986).

We will continue to watch the developments here but cannot stress enough that these are concerning actions.  If the Federal government continues these assaults regardless who is in power, the revolt among gun owners could cost this administration dearly.  It could also cost the potential Vance Administration as well.
