This is not what people were expecting from Pam Bondi.
She was hailed as a great fighter for Trump’s agenda.
But she made a catastrophic gun control mistake.
When Donald Trump gave Pam Bondi a deadline of 30 days on February 7th to propose gun control laws to get rid of, people in the gun community were very excited.
But unfortunately, Bondi did not keep that deadline, and it ended up quietly passing before she had made any kind of proposals to do away with gun control laws.
This is a strange turn of events, as Bondi had to have known that she would receive heavy criticism from the right for this failure.
But unfortunately, the deadline came and went and Bondi had apparently done nothing.
It seems that guns might not be her top priority, and she is focusing on other things, but Trump had given her specific instructions.
It is up to her to keep the deadlines she received from her boss, and in this case, she did not do that.
Now people across the country are wondering why Bondi allowed this thing to happen.
According to ABC News, “The deadline has quietly passed on Attorney General Pam Bondi delivering a report to President Donald Trump on whether any leftover Biden administration policies infringe on Americans’ right to bear arms. It came just days after Democratic leaders sent her a letter suggesting there is ‘plainly no need for any new plan of action.’”
Gun owners are certainly hoping that this failure didn’t happen because she listened to left-wing Democrats who told her not to do anything.
She has to know not to listen to their advice and to keep her head down and focus.
The article continues, “The president instructed Bondi to ‘examine all orders, regulations, guidance, plans, international agreements, and other actions of executive departments and agencies’ and determine if any of them violate the Second Amendment.”
“Andrew Willinger, executive director of the Center for Firearms Law at Duke University School of Law, told ABC News the broadly written executive order ‘signals to me that this isn’t a top priority’ for the Trump administration.”
“Earlier this month, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Maryland, ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Lucy McBath, D-Georgia, ranking member of the House subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance, sent Bondi a letter.
“‘We are determined to protect our communities against lethal gun crime in a manner consistent with the Second Amendment,’ they wrote.”
It has been clear for some time now that what Willinger said is true – the Second Amendment is not a top priority for the Trump administration.
However, it is nonetheless also true that Trump gave her a direct order on this key issue, and yet she did not meet the deadline that he gave her.
Bondi should explain to the public how this happened, and gun owners will certainly be hoping she puts a higher priority on firearm freedoms going forward in her position as attorney general.
