A judge blocked President Biden’s plan to expand background checks for people buying guns. The judge’s ruling stops the rule from being enforced in Texas, and this decision could impact the whole country.

This ruling is a win for those who believe in the 2nd Amendment and want to protect their right to own guns. The Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, was happy with the decision, calling the rule illegal.
The rule was supposed to close a loophole that allows people to sell guns without background checks. But the judge said the rule unfairly targeted gun owners and did not give them enough protection.
Many conservative states, including Arkansas and Kansas, are fighting against this rule. They believe that the government should not interfere with people’s right to own guns.
If the rule goes to the Supreme Court, it is likely that the conservative justices will strike it down. This is good news for those who support gun rights and want to prevent the government from taking them away.
As the election approaches, there is a possibility that former President Trump could win. If that happens, he is expected to overturn Biden’s gun control measures. But if Biden wins, Americans may have to keep fighting to protect their 2nd Amendment rights.
