One Major Controversy About Pam Bondi Will Make Gun Owners Very Concerned
Pam Bondi is proving to be a very controversial figure.
This is true even among conservatives.
Gun owners are going to be very concerned about this news.
After Colorado passed an extreme anti-gun bill that would make it one of the most hostile states in the nation to gun owners, conservatives in the state rushed into action.
They immediately hoped that Attorney General Pam Bondi would take action from the federal level to investigate the state and perhaps undo the damage that the bill caused.
But so far there has been no sign that she is actually going to do that, which is leaving gun owners in Colorado highly concerned.
Guns have clearly never been a top priority for Bondi, who has a very mixed track record dating back to her time as AG in Florida.
But she could at least throw a bone to gun owners by looking into this bill in Colorado and seeing if there’s anything she can do.
As of right now, however, there is no indication she is going to do that, and she might well leave the entire Second Amendment movement disappointed.
According to an article after Gov. Jared Polis signed the bill, “Colorado’s House Republicans are asking the federal government to review the constitutionality of a recently signed law requiring individuals to take a safety training course through Colorado Parks and Wildlife to be eligible to buy or sell semiautomatic rifles, shotguns, or handguns with detachable magazines.
“While Gov. Jared Polis signed the bill into law last week, it will not take effect until Aug. 1, 2026.”
So far, however, Bondi has not taken action against the bill, nor has she given any verbal indication that she’s going to do so any time soon.
Gun owners voted en masse for Donald Trump in the last election, and they certainly were hoping for more than this out of his administration.
The article continues, “Supporters have argued the bill would help prevent mass shootings, pointing to attacks in Colorado at the Aurora movie theater, Boulder King Soopers and Club Q in Colorado Springs, which they said were all carried out using semiautomatic weapons with detachable magazines.
“Opponents, including the gun rights advocacy group Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, have countered that the bill further chips away at the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens and forces the wildlife agency to handle responsibilities outside of its scope — without accomplishing its purported goal to stop violence.”
Bondi has not made it clear which side she agrees with, and in fact it seems that she just would rather have nothing to do with this debate at all.
She seems to have other top priorities besides the Second Amendment, and she is spending her time focusing on those, without taking any significant action on guns.
This is not going to be the news that gun owners want to hear, as they were hoping to have an administration that is 100% friendly to them, but Pam Bondi instead appears neutral at best.
