Here at Ron’s Guns CT, we’re committed to keeping you informed about the latest Second Amendment developments that impact your rights as a law-abiding gun owner. As we hit mid-March 2025, there’s plenty happening on the 2A front—both nationally and closer to home in Connecticut. Here’s what you need to know to stay ahead of the curve.
In February 2025, President Trump signed the "Protecting Second Amendment Rights" Executive Order, directing the Department of Justice (DOJ) to review federal firearm regulations from the past few years. Under new Attorney General Pam Bondi, the DOJ is already signaling a shift—requesting delays in court cases tied to ATF rules, like those pesky pistol brace and ghost gun regulations that frustrated so many of you. While it’s too early to see final outcomes, this could mean a rollback of restrictive policies, potentially easing compliance burdens for shops like ours and customers like you. We’ll keep you posted as these reviews unfold—could this be the 2A boost we’ve been waiting for?
Here in the Nutmeg State, the 2A landscape remains a challenge. Connecticut’s strict gun laws—some of the toughest in the nation—haven’t seen major changes in 2025 yet, but there’s chatter. Governor Ned Lamont’s administration continues to prioritize public safety measures, with no signs of easing up on assault weapon bans or magazine capacity limits. However, pro-2A groups, emboldened by the federal push, are ramping up pressure. Posts on X show growing calls for a state-level challenge to Connecticut’s red flag laws and permitting processes, citing the 2022 Bruen Supreme Court decision that expanded carry rights. While no bills have passed as of March 15, expect a fight in the next legislative session—something we’re watching closely for its impact on your ability to buy, carry, and protect.
Outside Connecticut, other states are setting the tone. Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis recently proposed repealing red flag laws and pushing open carry, moves that could inspire similar efforts here if momentum builds. While Connecticut’s political climate leans differently, these national trends often ripple our way—sometimes as opportunities, sometimes as battles. For now, our state’s permitting delays and background check hurdles remain hot topics among our customers. Stop by Ron’s Guns CT if you’re navigating these rules—we’re here to help with the latest compliance info.
For our regulars, these updates signal a mixed bag. Federally, we might see looser ATF oversight, which could simplify inventory options down the road. Locally, though, Connecticut’s laws aren’t budging yet—so keep those permits current and paperwork tight. Looking to stock up or upgrade?
