Our civil rights do not defend themselves, and I can promise you that protecting the American people’s Second Amendment rights is a TOP priority of @TheJusticeDept and @CivilRights Division! pic.twitter.com/LP5nXGm1ft

The Unites States Supreme Court has had seven times the number of decisions on First Amendment cases versus Second Amendment. So, these rights do not defend themselves. It requires constant vigilance from private lawyers and now the United States to help protect this important right and I’m really proud of it. Look, this is done under President Trump’s leadership and Attorney General Bondi’s leadership.

Who knows what the future holds? But I can promise you that for the balance of this administration, this is going to be a top priority of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice
