Gun Control….
The Trump administration on Wednesday announced a sweeping rollback of gun regulations, prompting criticism from gun control advocates who called the moves misguided and dangerous.
“Nothing we are doing today weakens law enforcement,” the acting attorney general, Todd Blanche, said at a news conference where he described 34 planned changes in federal gun regulations. He also welcomed the newly confirmed director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Robert Cekada.
The changes include rescinding a 2024 regulation from the Biden administration that sought to end what gun control advocates call the “gun show loophole.” That exemption allowed unlicensed dealers to sell firearms without performing a background check to see if the prospective buyer was prohibited by law from owning a gun.
The administration also plans to rescind a 2023 rule that restricted pistol braces, an attachment that enables the shooter to hold the weapon against their shoulder like a rifle. A federal court had already struck down that rule.
The changes are in keeping with the administration’s promise to curtail gun regulation. In February 2025, President Trump signed an executive order telling the Justice Department “to assess any ongoing infringements of the Second Amendment rights of our citizens.” In December, the department established a section of the civil rights division focused on gun rights…..

Marijuana Regs….
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday to expedite marijuana’s reclassification as a less dangerous drug that could offer medical value. It could lead to the cannabis industry’s biggest U.S. regulatory change in half a century.
Marijuana will remain a controlled substance that’s illegal for most people to possess under federal law, but the administration’s move could fuel more research and provide tax breaks to cannabis companies.
The order calls on Attorney General Pam Bondi to expedite the process of rescheduling marijuana from a Schedule I controlled substance, the most restricted level, to Schedule III, putting it on par with steroids and codeine mixed with Tylenol.
“We have people begging for me to do this,” Trump said at the Oval Office signing surrounded by health officials, including Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “For decades, this action has been requested by American patients suffering from extreme pain, incurable diseases, aggressive cancers, seizure, disorders, neurological problems and more, including numerous veterans who live with chronic medical problems that have severely degraded their quality of life.”
The order will also make cannabis easier for Medicare and Medicaid recipients to get by introducing a model that would cover medically recommended products with CBD, a non-intoxicating compound that comes from hemp, a close relative of marijuana, at no cost for seniors. Medicare Advantage beneficiaries will be able to purchase regulated hemp-derived products.
These benefits will start next year…..
