Trump hailed for restoring gun rights as GOP fights Biden-era policies
Rep Roger Williams' resolution coincides with Second Amendment Day
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}FIRST ON FOX: A top House Republican is leading a formal rebuke of the Biden administration's gun control policies on Thursday.
House Small Business Committee Chair Roger Williams, R-Texas, is introducing a resolution slamming the Democrat former president while lauding the current White House "as they work to protect Second Amendment freedoms by reviewing and eliminating any of the Biden administration’s infringements on [Americans'] constitutional freedoms."
The resolution is backed by at least 14 of Williams' fellow House Republicans.

"For too long, the Biden administration and radical leftists went to extreme lengths to criminalize law-abiding gun owners, jeopardizing the Second Amendment," he told Fox News Digital of the legislation.
"My resolution reaffirms congressional support for the Second Amendment and commends President Trump’s actions to protect American gun owners by dismantling Biden’s infringements on our constitutional freedoms."

Just over a month later, Bondi commissioned a new Second Amendment task force to "combine department-wide policy and litigation resources to advance President Trump’s pro-gun agenda and protect gun owners from overreach," she said last week.
The DOJ this month also repealed a Biden-era "zero tolerance" policy by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and Explosives, revoking licenses from firearm dealers who "willfully" violate existing rules. Gun rights groups, however, argued the rule places an undue burden on firearm dealers for making unintended clerical errors.
