GOP Unites Behind Trump to Shred Biden’s Gun Control Agenda

House Republicans are throwing their weight behind President Donald Trump’s push to dismantle Biden-era gun control measures, introducing a resolution Thursday that both celebrates Trump’s pro-Second Amendment agenda and torches the previous administration’s restrictions on law-abiding gun owners.
Led by House Small Business Committee Chairman Roger Williams of Texas, the resolution rebukes former President Joe Biden and praises Trump’s swift action to defend gun rights. Backed by at least 14 GOP lawmakers, the measure coincides with Second Amendment Day and aims to spotlight what Republicans call a long-overdue course correction after years of federal overreach.
“For too long, the Biden administration and radical leftists went to extreme lengths to criminalize law-abiding gun owners, jeopardizing the Second Amendment,” Williams told Fox News Digital. He said the resolution “commends President Trump’s actions to protect American gun owners by dismantling Biden’s infringements on our constitutional freedoms.”
The legislative text, obtained exclusively by Fox News, doesn’t pull any punches. It slams Biden’s Department of Justice for promoting policies hostile to the firearms industry and praises Trump for rolling back what it calls harmful bureaucratic overreach.
One of the most significant rollbacks so far came earlier this month, when the Department of Justice, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, repealed the Biden-era “zero tolerance” policy enforced by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. That policy had targeted federally licensed gun dealers for revocation over what gun rights advocates argued were often minor and unintended clerical mistakes.
Shortly after Bondi was sworn in, Trump ordered a 30-day review to identify “ongoing infringements” on Second Amendment rights. Following that directive, Bondi launched a new DOJ task force to consolidate litigation and policy efforts aimed at protecting lawful gun ownership.
Bondi said the task force will “advance President Trump’s pro-gun agenda and protect gun owners from overreach.” The move was quickly hailed by Second Amendment advocates, including the National Rifle Association, which is also backing the GOP resolution.
In part, the House resolution states that it “disapproves of the Biden administration’s gun-control agenda and hostility toward the lawful gun industry.” It also affirms support for Trump’s actions “to repeal harmful policies imposed by the Biden administration on law-abiding gunowners” and commends his “commitment to upholding the Constitution and defending the constitutional right to bear arms.”
The Biden administration, in contrast, made gun control a top domestic priority, often framing it as a public health issue. This included a slew of executive actions, crackdowns on so-called “ghost guns,” expanded background checks, and aggressive enforcement protocols that gun rights groups say were used as political weapons against dealers and hobbyists alike.
Trump and his allies have seized on the unpopularity of those measures among working-class and rural voters, making gun rights a centerpiece of the broader GOP campaign to reverse the federal power grabs of the last four years.
Williams’ resolution is symbolic for now, but it’s another clear signal that the GOP-controlled House is fully aligned with Trump’s aggressive efforts to restore firearm freedoms and dismantle what they see as Biden’s unconstitutional overreach. With a Republican White House and DOJ already delivering key reversals, conservatives are confident more wins are on the way.
