As part of his crackdown on crime in D.C., President Trump is now empowering law-abiding citizens to protect themselves from the criminals and hooligans running amok in the city.
In a major win for Second Amendment rights in our nation’s capital. President Trump’s “Making D.C. Safe and Beautiful” task force is now streamlining the process of obtaining a gun permit.

NEW: Trump Slashes DC Gun Permit Wait from Months to Days; Restores Citizens’ Right to Defend Themselves
President Trump’s “Making DC Safe and Beautiful” Task Force just delivered a game-changing win for law-abiding Washingtonians, cutting the concealed carry and firearm registration process from months to just five days.
By working with local officials to streamline the city’s existing laws, the task force blew up the four-month backlog for appointments, now offering next-day bookings and even walk-ins at MPD headquarters.
This is how you make a crime-ravaged city safe again:
Empower responsible citizens to protect themselves, not leave them stranded while criminals roam free.
For years, DC’s anti-gun bureaucracy slow-walked permits into irrelevance, effectively denying residents their Second Amendment rights.
Now, armed citizens can defend their homes, their families, and their neighborhoods, and the thugs running wild in the capital just got notice that the easy days are over.
This is how it’s done.
To truly make Washington, D.C. a safe and beautiful place to live, you can’t force citizens to rely solely on law enforcement. Doing so only creates a population of sitting ducks, where crime festers as good and honest people are left helpless to defend themselves.
Strengthening the local police and bringing in federal law enforcement is crucial, and President Trump has already done that.
But, it’s also just as important to allow responsible citizens the means to defend themselves against criminals.
Not to mention, being armed serves as a great deterrent to crime, in the first place!
Our Founding Fathers understood this, and so does President Trump.
And yet, the Democrat leaders in D.C. have unconstitutionally employed some of the strictest gun control laws in the entire nation in our capital city — which President Trump’s task force is now combating.
Fox News has more details on how the task force is helping restore D.C. residents’ right to bear arms:
The concealed carry permitting process and firearm registration process in the deep blue city have been slashed from months down to days via Trump’s Making DC Safe and Beautiful Task Force, which was established via an executive order in March to revitalize the nation’s capital. The working group’s work to clean up the city did not include changing local gun laws, but instead streamlines the city’s already established process, so law-abiding residents can more easily navigate the firearms system.
“President Trump is not only stopping violent crime in Washington, D.C., he is also streamlining the permitting process for law-abiding residents who want the ability to protect themselves and their families,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Fox News Digital. “The Making DC Safe and Beautiful Task Force has been working with local officials to eliminate longstanding obstacles and successfully reduced the average permit processing time from several months to just five days.”
Under the task force’s efforts, locals are able to book next-day appointments to register their firearms with the Metropolitan Police Department, while walk-in appointments are now available and advertised on the police department’s website.
Previously, applicants typically waited four months for a firearms registration appointment, a White House official told Fox Digital.
The concealed carry permit process also has been streamlined, Fox Digital learned. What used to take “several months” to obtain a concealed carry permit, has been cut down to 4.6 days, according to data compiled during the month of May by the task force, which the White House shared with Fox News Digital.
Appointments for firearm registration and conceal carry licenses also have been combined into one category to cut back on confusion over which option to choose when beginning the gun process. While the District will soon use third-party finger printers, in addition to Metropolitan Police Department machines, after the D.C. City Council voted to broaden where people can get fingerprinted July 28.
This is a great step in the right direction.
But, is it time to take things a step further?
Perhaps through a nationwide Constitutional Carry law that guarantees every law-abiding U.S. citizen the right to defend themselves?
No amount of gun control laws will prevent criminals from getting a firearm. So, it should be made easier for law-abiding citizens.
Here’s an idea:
Personally, I think they should hand guns out to every citizen on the street corners of every city.
ID scan, no criminal record, here’s your firearm.
