You can't protect the Second Amendment and push for gun control at the same time. Those positions are mutually exclusive.

So Trump was the obvious choice, even if he was the guy who gave us the bump stock ban.

But since taking office, there's been a lot of movement on Second Amendment issues by his administration, and it's being recognized by at least some in Congress.

 top House Republican is leading a formal rebuke of the Biden administration's gun control policies on Thursday.

House Small Business Committee Chair Roger Williams, R-Texas, is introducing a resolution slamming the Democrat former president while lauding the current White House "as they work to protect Second Amendment freedoms by reviewing and eliminating any of the Biden administration’s infringements on [Americans'] constitutional freedoms."

The resolution is backed by at least 14 of Williams' fellow House Republicans.

"For too long, the Biden administration and radical leftists went to extreme lengths to criminalize law-abiding gun owners, jeopardizing the Second Amendment," he told Fox News Digital of the legislation.

"My resolution reaffirms congressional support for the Second Amendment and commends President Trump’s actions to protect American gun owners by dismantling Biden’s infringements on our constitutional freedoms."

Shortly after Attorney General Pam Bondi was sworn in, President Donald Trump ordered her to begin a 30-day review to find any "ongoing infringements" of the Second Amendment by the federal government.

Of course, we're still waiting on that report, but Bondi has kicked off a Second Amendment task force that will address civil rights violations regarding the Second Amendment. She's also investigating the LA County Sheriff's Department over their lengthy delays in providing concealed carry permits. 

While it's unlikely a resolution like this will actually go anywhere, just introducing it is a signal to the White House that the president's efforts are appreciated.

And the truth is that Trump has done more for the Second Amendment in his first three months in office than we've seen from any Republican president in my lifetime, at least.

Is it perfect? Not really. There have been missteps, such as the bizarre charges against a man for carrying an SBR and a pistol simultaneously when it was the same gun--though the Department of Justice did correct that, at least--and the fact that we still don't have a repeal of the pistol brace rule in the works so far as anyone can tell.

Yet one problem I see is that a lot of people are letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. Because everything they want hasn't happened immediately, even while Trump is addressing a lot of other issues, such as immigration and trade, they think it's all bluster. In fairness, they might be right, ultimately. It's entirely possible that what we've seen is meant to be a salve so the administration doesn't have to do anything else.

But my question to those people is this: If he didn't want to do anything for the Second Amendment, why bother doing any of what he's already done? He can't win a third term in office as things currently stand, so he doesn't need to keep us happy just to win re-election. Republicans can still run as pro-gun during the midterms, and we're still going to vote for them over the alternative, at least in most cases, so what does he have to gain by appeasing us with too little?

Nothing.

So yeah, I'm happy with what President Trump has done so far. I want more, and I expect to see more, but he's already done more than anyone else in the White House to address the long-term issues with our right to keep and bear arms. I'm willing to show a little patience and support a resolution thanking him for what he's done so far.
