 RESOLUTION

 Supporting the Second Amendment's guarantee that the right of the 
 people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, and commending 
 President Trump and his administration as they work to protect Second 
 Amendment freedoms by reviewing and eliminating any of the Biden 
 administration's infringements on American's constitutional freedoms.

Whereas the Second Amendment to the Constitution safeguards the right of the 
 people to keep and bear arms, declaring that such right shall not be 
 infringed;
Whereas James Madison, the father of the Second Amendment, stated, ``Americans 
 have the right and advantage of being armed--unlike citizens of other 
 countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.'';
Whereas it has nonetheless been a stated goal of the Biden administration to 
 restrict, burden, and undermine the ability of ordinary law-abiding 
 citizens to exercise their right to keep and bear arms, by encouraging 
 Federal, State, and local lawmakers to pass gun control measures that 
 self-evidently violate the spirit and letter of the Second Amendment 
 despite the understanding of the Second Amendment as an important 
 protection against crime, tyranny, and oppression;
Whereas there have been an increased number of rules issued by the Bureau of 
 Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives

    (ATF) in recent years aimed 
 at restricting Americans' right to keep and bear arms;
Whereas the Bureau of Industry and Security

    (BIS) has restricted the fundamental 
 Second Amendment right enumerated in the Bill of Rights by implementing 
 policies that limit commercial firearm exports without providing 
 adequate reasoning to why such a prohibition is necessary;
Whereas President Trump has vehemently defended the constitutional right to own 
 and purchase firearms by peeling back the Biden administration's 
 flagrant gun-control measures;
Whereas President Trump is protecting law-abiding gunowners from the 
 infringements of ATF and BIS policies; and
Whereas President Trump continues to empower law-abiding gunowners and firearm 
 manufactures to ensure the Second Amendment remains secure: Now, 
 therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

    (1) reaffirms the support for the Second Amendment and the 
 constitutional guarantee that the right of the people to keep 
 and bear arms shall not be infringed;

    (2) disapproves of the Biden administration's gun control 
 agenda and hostility towards the lawful gun industry;

    (3) disapproves of rule and policy changes by the Bureau of 
 Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives under the Biden 
 administration to restrict citizen's Second Amendment right;

    (4) disapproves of the Bureau of Industry and Security 
 policies to limit lawful firearm exports and bad-faith attacks 
 on civilian gun ownership;

    (5) supports President Trump's actions to repeal harmful 
 policies imposed by the Biden administration on law-abiding 
 gunowners; and

    (6) commends President Trump's commitment to upholding the 
 Constitution and defending the constitutional right to bear 
 arms.
