This @CivilRights Division’s Second Amendment Section is firmly protecting every law-abiding citizen’s right to carry.
These rights do not protect themselves, & @TheJusticeDept & this administration will ensure that the Second Amendment is NOT a second-class right! pic.twitter.com/450MSBlc19

…These rights do not protect themselves and that’s true of all of our civil rights. The Fourth Amendment I think is a very important right. The First Amendment.
And so here, this is the first time, however, in American history that the United States Department of Justice is on the side of the citizens in enforcing the Second Amendment.
I’m so excited and proud to be at the helm of that with the full support of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who himself is an active supporter of Second Amendment rights…goes to gun events with me and others here at the DOJ. And we will eventually get to whatever jurisdiction you want to complain about in my DMs and my mentions on X…we will get there.
