This week, I’m coming to you from the Philippines. I’m visiting my Fiance’s family, and I have to say, this country is absolutely beautiful. If you get a chance to visit the Chocolate Hills in Bohol, make sure you go! Contributing Writer Jake Fogleman has picked up much of the slack while I’ve been on the other side of the world. He broke an important story clarifying what’s going on with the ATF’s “zero tolerance” enforcement policy. It turns out that reports of its demise were exaggerated.  The lack of movement on that policy and others has gun-rights groups airing their grievances with the earliest days of the Trump Administration in public. But I examine for members what kind of leverage they really have over Trump at this point. The courts have been busy, though. The Fifth Circuit struck down the handgun sales ban for 18-to-20-year-olds while the Sixth Circuit revived a liability lawsuit against Sig Sauer over the P320’s design. California also lost its fight against non-resident concealed carry permitting. Plus, we have The Dispatch’s Kevin Williamson on the podcast reacting to the early days of the Trump administration. We’ve also got a long analysis piece from him on the ins and outs of the ATF.

On Wednesday, two gun groups expressed at least some unhappiness with the current state of gun policy early on in his second administration. The National Shooting Sports Foundation said the ATF has yet to head its call to undo the agency’s “zero tolerance” enforcement policy. Gun Owners of America, confirming the same, went further and complained Trump did not make good on his promise to undo Former President Joe Biden’s gun actions during his first week in office. “President Trump promised gun-owning voters that Biden’s unconstitutional anti-gun disasters would ‘get ripped up and torn out’ during the first week of his Administration,” the group said in an email to supporters. “We just officially passed that milestone in the Trump-Vance Administration – and Biden’s anti-gun policies are still in effect.” If you’re a Reload Member, click here to read more.
