Gun rights organizations, including the National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR), the National Rifle Association (NRA), and Gun Owners of America (GOA), are focused on defending and expanding Second Amendment rights. Their 2025 agenda emphasizes:
* **Defending Second Amendment Rights:** Actively opposing what they perceive as radical anti-gun legislation and policies.
* **Constitutional Carry:** Advocating for “Real Constitutional Carry” laws, which would allow individuals to carry firearms without a permit.
* **Repealing Regulations:** Pushing for the repeal of Biden-era Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) rules and potentially seeking changes in ATF leadership.
* **National Carry Reciprocity:** Supporting legislation that would require states to recognize concealed carry permits issued by other states.
* **Opposition to “Project 2025” Criticisms:** While “Project 2025” is a broader conservative initiative, some gun rights groups align with its goals, which opponents argue could lead to increased gun violence by undermining federal law enforcement and weakening existing gun laws.
* **Continued Litigation:** Although the pace of new lawsuits has slowed in 2024 and 2025 compared to previous years, gun rights groups continue to challenge various gun restrictions, including bans on assault weapons, magazine capacity limits, and regulations affecting young adults’ access to handguns.
