Proposed laws could roll back gun restrictions and expand the locations where gun owners are allowed to carry weapons if President Donald Trump delivers on his campaign promises to pro-gun groups.

In January, congressional Republicans introduced bills that would reduce barriers to purchasing gun silencers and allow concealed weapon holders to cross state lines without having to follow local restrictions. Trump, whos said he carries a concealed weapon at times, once promised to eliminate gun-free zones and to allow loaded handguns in schools, and said that a national right to carry concealed weapons should be legal.

Trump has also nominated a new justice to the Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch, who has the backing of the National Rifle Association . If confirmed, the 49-year-old will give the court a 5-4 conservative-leaning majority.

There was a yearslong legislative impasse on gun control under former President Barack Obama , despite attempts to push for reforms after a string of mass shootings in places like Newtown, Connecticut, San Bernardino, California and Orlando, Florida. The possible shakeup in gun policy would hand a victory to pro-gun groups that have argued that such attacks mean more people should have more guns in more places.

This is our historic moment to go on the offense and restore American greatness, said Wayne LaPierre, the executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, in a video outlining the NRAs legislative wish list after Trump won the presidency in November. LaPierre also called Trump the most openly pro-Second Amendment candidate in history.

Supporting broader gun rights fits in with Trumps characterization of himself as the law and order candidate . He argues that guns in the hands of law-abiding people deter and protect Americans from crime and terrorist attacks .

But gun control organizations are holding out hope that Trump wont march in lockstep with the NRA, despite his repeated vows to uphold conservatives interpretation of the Second Amendment.

Its not as bleak as some people are inclined to think, said Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. The gun lobby is trying to portray the election of Donald Trump as a far bigger victory than it is. They went all in on him, but it is not the reason he was elected.

Officials from gun control advocacy groups like Everytown for Gun Safety and Americans for Responsible Solutions similarly wondered how much Trump would push a gun rights agenda. On the campaign trail, they note, he supported a measure to block suspected terrorists from buying guns. And before Trump entered politics, hed supported an assault weapons ban and a waiting period to buy guns.

Trump has yet to lay out his gun policy in detail, but the revamped White House website does make a sweeping promise to gun advocates in a section about law enforcement.

Supporting law enforcement means supporting our citizens ability to protect themselves, the statement reads. We will uphold Americans Second Amendment rights at every level of our judicial system.

White House press officials didnt respond to The Huffington Posts inquiries about Trumps agenda.

These are likely to be some of the defining gun policy issues of Trumps presidency. Sooner or later, he will reveal his true colors.
