President Trump Will Activate Second Amendment Section in DOJ
Trump Plans to Create New DOJ Second Amendment Rights Section
The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) reports that the Trump Administration will establish a dedicated Second Amendment rights section within the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice. The new section is expected to commence work in early December. FPC President Brandon Combs stated: “This is a great move by the Trump Administration. Gun owners certainly have something to be thankful for this year.”
The objective is to fight unconstitutional state and local restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms. The new DOJ staff will work to challenge local and state governments that continue to defy U.S. Supreme Court precedent and block the exercise of fundamental Second Amendment rights.
This move by the Trump administration recognizes that the Second Amendment warrants the same institutional protection as all other enumerated rights. FPC also emphasized the importance of appointing leadership with deep expertise in original-public-meaning jurisprudence to ensure that the new section’s work remains faithful to the Constitution.
“If this new section is led by genuine Second Amendment litigation experts, faithfully grounded in the original public meaning of the Constitution, and fully coordinated with the groups and firms already driving the long-term strategy, this could be a significant step forward for the fight for liberty and the right to keep and bear arms.” — Brandon Combs, FPC President.
FPC can work with the Administration to ensure that the new DOJ section is structured for long-term success, led by advocates and experts committed to proper constitutional interpretation, and fully aligned with the strong national strategy to restore the right to keep and bear arms at all levels of government.
