President Trump campaigned on restoring robust protections for the Second Amendment. Yet more than a year into his second term, gun owners feel disillusioned, and many are planning to sit out the midterm elections.

Having viewed President Trump's election as a generational opportunity to course-correct, the stark reality is that not all that much has changed with respect to the nation's gun laws. Gun owners' frustration centers not on the Administration's broader record, but on the large number of times the Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi has fallen short on gun rights.

Ms. Bondi entered office with a mixed record on the Second Amendment. During her time as Florida's attorney general, she supported a number of anti-gun restrictions after the Parkland shooting, including red flag laws, raising the age for gun ownership, Florida's open carry ban, and a ban on bump stocks.
