Title: Protecting Second Amendment Rights
Category: Civil & Constitutional Rights
Federal Register Doc. No.: 2025-02636
Related summary: Open executive order summary

Justification

This executive order is fundamentally about protecting and preserving a specific constitutional right—the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. The order's primary purpose, as stated explicitly in Section 1, is to address "ongoing infringements of the Second Amendment rights of our citizens." The Attorney General is directed to comprehensively review all executive actions, regulations, and policies from 2021-2025 to identify potential violations of this constitutional right. While the order involves government review mechanisms, its core subject matter is the protection of a constitutional civil right, making "Civil & Constitutional Rights" the appropriate primary category rather than a procedural category like "Government Reform & Efficiency."
