How about when felon 45 tried to infringe on the 2nd amendment with his EO banning bump stocks?

Trump is a gun grabber,plain and simple.

How the Supreme Court Broadened the Second AmendmentAs The Trace launches a series about the court’s 2022 Bruen decision, we break down the ruling — and explain how it fundamentally changed our country’s approach to restricting guns.By Chip Brownlee  Sep 12, 2024On June 23, 2022, the Supreme Court handed down its ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, marking a seismic shift in the landscape of American gun rights. While the decision struck down a portion of New York’s restrictive, century-old concealed carry law, its implications extended far beyond the Empire State — and the issue of concealed carry. The Trace has amassed a database of more than 1,600 federal court decisions on Second Amendment challenges that cited Bruen over the past two years, and on September 12, we began rolling out a series of stories exploring the ruling’s wide-ranging effects. The first story looks at how people with felony convictions are using Bruen to challenge the ban on them possessing guns, straining the court system and raising public safety concerns.
 The Bruen decision recognized, for the first time, an individual right to carry a loaded gun in public for self-defense. More consequentially, the Supreme Court laid out a new test for evaluating the constitutionality of other firearm regulations.That test has placed dozens of gun laws under threat, flooded federal courts with lawsuits, and transformed firearm regulation across the nation as lower court judges disagree on how to apply the ruling.
