The Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) is launching a new unit dedicated to protecting Americans’ gun rights.
The office, known as the Second Amendment Rights Section, is scheduled to open on December 4. The office’s focus will be on investigating local policies and laws that violate an American’s right to keep and bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. The section is a direct result of Donald Trump’s Executive Order (EO) on gun rights, issued earlier this year.
The Civil Rights Division of the DOJ was created by the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Its mission is to investigate systemic violations of constitutional rights. For most of the department’s history, it has ignored the gun rights of Americans. In the past, it has concentrated chiefly on race issues. The expansion of the Civil Rights Division does not require congressional approval. All that is needed is for the DOJ to notify Congress of the reorganization, which it did yesterday.
