Pam Bondi: Trump Admin to Work with Congress to Protecting Privacy While Securing National Security

Listen to Article

Attorney General Pam Bondi just dropped a bombshell assurance to Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), signaling the Trump administration’s ironclad commitment to partnering with Congress on dismantling warrantless surveillance of everyday Americans. In a pointed exchange on Wednesday, Bondi made it crystal clear: the era of shadowy, backdoor spying under programs like Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act—renewed last year amid bipartisan outcry—is on borrowed time. This isn’t vague rhetoric; it’s a direct pledge to legislate privacy protections that prioritize national security without trampling constitutional rights, a move that’s already got surveillance state critics cheering from the rooftops.

For the 2A community, this hits like a well-aimed round at the range. Warrantless surveillance has long been a stealthy foe to gun owners, enabling feds to hoover up metadata, location data, and purchase records without oversight—think ATF stings or red-flag pretexts morphing into fishing expeditions. We’ve seen it in action: Operation Choke Point 2.0 squeezed banks into denying services to firearms businesses based on risk profiles built from unchecked data troves. Bondi’s push echoes the Church Committee’s 1970s takedown of domestic spying abuses, but with a modern twist—tying it to Trump’s pro-privacy, pro-freedom agenda. If Congress delivers (fingers crossed on no RINO sabotage), it could neuter tools used to profile 2A patriots, from NFA item buyers to range regulars, fortifying the Fourth Amendment as the ultimate safeguard for the Second.

The implications? A seismic shift toward accountability in the intel apparatus, potentially unlocking broader reforms like auditing the FBI’s gun registry games or curbing fusion center overreach. This isn’t just policy wonkery; it’s a lifeline for the armed citizenry, reminding us that privacy isn’t optional—it’s the bedrock of liberty. Stay vigilant, 2A fam: with Bondi at the helm, the deep state’s surveillance dragnet might finally get the warrant it deserves.
