    Type:Presidential Document
    Citation:90 FR 9503
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Executive Order titled Protecting Second Amendment Rights seeks to ensure that the American people's right to keep and bear arms is upheld as a fundamental liberty. By the President's directive, the Attorney General has been tasked to review government actions from 2021 to 2025, focusing on any that may infringe on Second Amendment rights and propose a plan to protect them. This includes examining regulations related to firearms and existing litigation positions. The order is to be carried out in accordance with applicable laws and available funding, and it does not establish any new legal rights.

    Simple Explanation

    The President made a new rule to make sure people can still have their right to own and use guns, and asked the person in charge of the country's law stuff to check if any changes from the past few years might have messed that right up. But, this rule is mostly about checking and doesn't promise any big changes right away.

    Reading Time:about 115 minutes

    The Department of Justice has proposed changes to the regulations of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to comply with the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022. The proposal includes adding new definitions and procedures to incorporate local and Tribal firearms prohibitions alongside existing federal and state laws. It also covers enhanced background checks for firearm buyers under 21, introduces denial notifications to law enforcement when a gun sale is denied, and suggests improvements like identifying agencies that can't share certain records due to state laws. The Department seeks public comments on these proposed changes to refine and ensure their effectiveness in preventing prohibited individuals from acquiring firearms.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Justice wants to change the rules on who can buy a gun and how they check this to keep everyone safe, but the rules are long and a bit hard to understand. They also want people's ideas on how to make these rules work better so that people who shouldn’t have guns can’t get them.
