Summary
President Donald Trump announced that his administration is working on national right-to-carry legislation, which would expand firearm carry rights across the US. Trump made the comment at a speech in Pennsylvania, where he recognized NRA President Bill Bachenberg and stated that the organization has endorsed him since the beginning because he “saved the Second Amendment.” Trump’s comments come after Sen. Mike Lee introduced the National Constitutional Carry Act, which would eliminate concealed-carry permit requirements nationwide for eligible Americans.

As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
President Trump’s announcement was met with a nod from the NRA President, who was present in the crowd. Trump’s comment was brief, but it signaled White House support for the proposal. The National Constitutional Carry Act would allow eligible Americans to carry concealed weapons nationwide without a permit. The bill has been introduced before, but did not become law. Trump’s administration is now “working on it.”
The familiar ritual of endorsing gun rights legislation has begun.
