The Trump Department of Justice has created a special office within the Civil Rights Division to focus on Second Amendment issues. This is an excellent idea which would be virtually unthinkable under a Democrat administration.
People on the left have become fond of claiming that they support the U.S. Constitution in recent months, but you almost never hear Democrats defending the right of law abiding Americans to own firearms. It’s the one civil right that they love to ignore.
An office like this at the DOJ is long overdue.
America First Freedom reported:
The DOJ is Adding a Second Amendment Section
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is, according to information obtained by Reuters, creating a Second Amendment office in its Civil Rights Division.
The new office, Reuters reports, will be called the “Second Amendment Rights Section,” and is expected to open December 4.
The news about the creation of a Second Amendment office in its Civil Rights Division came out because, while a reorganization of the Justice Department doesn’t require approval from Congress, the DOJ is required to notify Congress. “According to the document” sent to Congress, as reported by Reuters, “the DOJ said the reorganization can be done using existing funds and personnel, and that the Office of Management and Budget did not object to the communication to Congress about the reorganization.”
Some have apparently been shocked by the Trump administration’s focus on the Second Amendment, which protects a right many previous administrations openly opposed.
Reuters, for example, quoted Stacey Young, a former Civil Rights Division attorney, as saying, “The Civil Rights Division’s new focus on the Second Amendment, which is far outside its longstanding mission, is moving us even further away from our nation’s commitment to protecting all Americans’ civil rights.” [Emphasis is ours.]
The NRA is clearly on board with this.
President Trump’s Justice Department has created a Second Amendment office within its Civil Rights Division.
Dubbed the “Second Amendment Rights Section,” the office is expected to open today and prioritize the rights of law-abiding gun owners.

It will be fascinating to see what this office does and which cases it chooses to focus on in the coming months.
