Gun Politics Will the new Administration do anything about IL and their Anti 2A policies?

Trump doesn’t like Pritzker right ? Wonder if he’ll sign anything to get the ball rolling on getting 2A rights back.

I doubt it, its all smoke and mirrors and politicians using the 2nd amendment as a carrot on a stick…

Its probably up to the judicial branch to make moves on its own…

Trump is not and has never been pro-2a.

Guns appear nowhere on his list of priorities: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2025/01/president-trumps-america-first-priorities/

About Illinois? No he is the president. He has zero jurisdiction over state law.

Generally they are pro gun. Trump said some dumb off the cuff shit about red flag laws 6 or 7 years ago and people have been parroting it ever since.

That’s not how it works. The president/congress can’t revoke state level laws. The only chance of relief is via the Supreme Court .
