                Executive Order 14206 of February 7, 2025

                
Protecting Second Amendment Rights

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, it is hereby ordered:

                Section 1. Purpose. The Second Amendment is an 
                indispensable safeguard of security and liberty. It has 
                preserved the right of the American people to protect 
                ourselves, our families, and our freedoms since the 
                founding of our great Nation. Because it is 
                foundational to maintaining all other rights held by 
                Americans, the right to keep and bear arms must not be 
                infringed.

                Sec. 2. Plan of Action. (a) Within 30 days of the date 
                of this order, the Attorney General shall examine all 
                orders, regulations, guidance, plans, international 
                agreements, and other actions of executive departments 
                and agencies (agencies) to assess any ongoing 
                infringements of the Second Amendment rights of our 
                citizens, and present a proposed plan of action to the 
                President, through the Domestic Policy Advisor, to 
                protect the Second Amendment rights of all Americans.

                    (b) In developing such proposed plan of action, the 
                Attorney General shall review, at a minimum:

(i) All Presidential and agencies' actions from January 2021 through 
January 2025 that purport to promote safety but may have impinged on the 
Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens;

(ii) Rules promulgated by the Department of Justice, including by the 
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, from January 2021 
through January 2025 pertaining to firearms and/or Federal firearms 
licensees;

(iii) Agencies' plans, orders, and actions regarding the so-called 
``enhanced regulatory enforcement policy'' pertaining to firearms and/or 
Federal firearms licensees;

(iv) Reports and related documents issued by the White House Office of Gun 
Violence Prevention;

(v) The positions taken by the United States in any and all ongoing and 
potential litigation that affects or could affect the ability of Americans 
to exercise their Second Amendment rights;

(vi) Agencies' classifications of firearms and ammunition; and

(vii) The processing of applications to make, manufacture, transfer, or 
export firearms.

                Sec. 3. Implementation. Upon submission of the proposed 
                plan of action described in section 2 of this order, 
                the Attorney General shall work with the Domestic 
                Policy Advisor to finalize the plan of action and 
                establish a process for implementation.

                Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order 
                shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department, agency, or the 
head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

                    (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with 
                applicable law and subject to the availability of 
                appropriations.
                    (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, 
                create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
                enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
                the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
                entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any 
                other person.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    February 7, 2025.
