Acting AG Todd Blanche Announces Sweeping Overhaul of Federal Gun Regulations to Elevate 2A as ‘First-Class Right’
At the 2026 NRA Annual Meetings, Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche stated the Trump DOJ has overhauled gun regulations treating the Second Amendment as a first-class right, with new regulations set for release next week, signaling a major shift in federal firearm policy.
In a bombshell address that had the crowd at the 2026 NRA Annual Meetings on their feet, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche delivered the news Second Amendment supporters have been dreaming of: the Trump Department of Justice is ripping up decades of anti-gun red tape and treating our constitutional right to keep and bear arms like the first-class right it always should have been.
“For too long, the Second Amendment has been treated as a second-class right,” Blanche declared to thunderous applause. “No more. Under President Trump’s DOJ, we’re overhauling federal gun regulations to put 2A on equal footing with every other enumerated right in the Bill of Rights. These new rules will be released next week, and they represent a total paradigm shift.”
A Long-Overdue Reckoning for Gun Owners
Blanche, a fierce Trump loyalist and battle-tested legal warrior who crushed the left’s lawfare campaigns against the president, didn’t mince words. He slammed the Biden-era ATF’s “gun grabber” rules—like the pistol brace ban, the forced reset trigger nonsense, and the endless harassment of law-abiding suppressor owners—as unconstitutional overreach. The new regulations? Expect a full rollback of these abuses, plus clarifications that make it crystal clear: accessories aren’t firearms, and the right to self-defense isn’t optional.
“We’re restoring clarity and sanity to federal firearm policy. Suppressors will be treated as the hearing protection devices they are. Braces? Back on your pistols where they belong. And we’re ending the regulatory creep that’s turned honest Americans into felons overnight.”

This isn’t just talk—it’s action. Sources close to the DOJ confirm the upcoming package will include:
- Rescission of ATF Rule 2021R-05F: The pistol brace rule gets the boot, freeing millions of AR pistols from bureaucratic hell.
- Suppressor Deregulation: No more $200 tax stamps or endless wait times— silencers as accessories, period.
- Private Sales Protection: Codifying that FFLs aren’t needed for occasional transfers between friends and family.
- Bump Stock Restoration: Full vindication of the SCOTUS Garcia decision, with zero restrictions.
- National Reciprocity Framework: Paving the way for permitless carry nationwide.
Why This Matters: 2A Enters the Big Leagues
Think about it—while the First Amendment shields even the most offensive speech, and the Fourth protects against warrantless searches, the Second has been starved of respect. No more “shall not be infringed” lip service followed by 20,000 pages of regs. Blanche’s overhaul signals the end of the gun control industrial complex’s reign of terror.
President Trump’s return to the White House has unleashed a pro-freedom avalanche, and this is exhibit A. With a Supreme Court that’s finally enforcing Bruen and Heller, rogue circuits like the 9th are getting slapped down, and now the executive branch is falling in line. Gun owners: your rights just got a massive upgrade.
What’s Next? Eyes on Next Week
