Donald Trump was sworn in just moments ago at noon, Jan. 20, 2025, as the 47th president of the United States, marking the start of a new chapter in American politics. Gun owners and Second Amendment advocates are optimistic under the new leadership that policies that prioritize firearms ownership rights and enhance self-defense protections will become the norm, not the exception. During his campaign, Trump pledged to champion national concealed carry reciprocity and protect the firearm industry from overreach. Supporters hope his administration will deliver legislative victories that reaffirm constitutional freedoms and contribute to a safer, more prosperous nation.
