A central piece of the new administration’s agenda is the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which would require all states to honor concealed carry permits from any other state, effectively overriding state-specific standards. The House passed this legislation in early 2025, with Senate Republicans signaling support, while Democrats fiercely oppose it.

The current administration, which re-entered the White House in 2025, has taken steps to reverse regulations introduced by the previous administration, including those related to ghost guns, background checks, and firearm classification. This includes eliminating the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention and revoking a Surgeon General’s advisory that labeled gun violence a public health crisis.

In Maine, there is a potential ballot initiative for 2025 concerning “Extreme Risk Protection Orders.” Looking ahead to 2026, Arkansas will have a “Right to Keep and Bear Arms Amendment” on the ballot, and Massachusetts will vote on a “Firearm Regulations Referendum.” Source: https://ballotpedia.org/Maine_Extreme_Risk_Protection_Orders_to_Restrict_Firearms_and_Weapons_Access_Initiative_(2025) Source: https://ballotpedia.org/Arkansas_Right_to_Keep_and_Bear_Arms_Amendment_(2026) Source: https://ballotpedia.org/Massachusetts_Firearm_Regulations_Referendum_(2026)Read More →

In June 2023, Governor Gavin Newsom proposed a 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to enshrine common-sense gun safety measures. While not a 2025 proposal, it’s a significant ongoing effort that aims to permanently establish principles such as raising the federal minimum age to purchase a firearm to 21, mandating universal background checks, instituting a waiting period for gun purchases, and barring civilian purchase of assault weapons.

An executive order was signed on February 7, 2025, directing the Attorney General to review all federal actions from January 2021 to January 2025 that may have “impinged” on Second Amendment rights. The goal is to identify and potentially undo policies deemed infringing, including rules from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) and positions taken in litigation affecting gun rights.

As of June 2025, there are no new federal constitutional category Amendments concerning gun control that have been ratified or are actively moving through the proposal process. The national conversation around firearms continues to be centered on the interpretation of the Second Amendment, with significant developments occurring through executive orders and proposed legislation rather than attempts to amend the Constitution itself.
