U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi is set to spearhead a new Justice Department initiative aimed at protecting gun rights under the Second Amendment, according to a memo reviewed by Reuters.
The memo outlines Bondi's plan to launch a coordinated effort that will push back against federal and state-level actions perceived as infringements on constitutional gun rights. The initiative will involve strategic lawsuits and policy measures to counter regulations that restrict firearm ownership and use.
Bondi emphasized the Justice Department’s commitment to safeguarding Americans' right to bear arms, noting that recent political and legislative moves across the country have increasingly targeted gun ownership. “Our duty is to uphold the Constitution,” she wrote. “This initiative ensures that the Second Amendment remains protected, not weakened.”
The DOJ’s action comes amid growing national debate over gun control laws, with several states enacting stricter firearm regulations. Bondi’s memo suggests the federal government will more aggressively challenge such measures through legal action, citing constitutional grounds.
The move is expected to be welcomed by gun rights advocates and Second Amendment supporters, who argue that increased restrictions violate personal freedoms. Critics, however, warn that the initiative could hinder efforts to reduce gun violence.
Bondi, a long-time supporter of conservative legal principles, brings a strong stance on constitutional rights to the effort. Her leadership is seen as a clear signal that the Justice Department is prepared to take a firm stand in defending gun ownership rights nationwide.
By leveraging both legal tools and federal influence, the DOJ under Bondi’s direction aims to ensure that the Second Amendment continues to be a central tenet of American civil liberties. The initiative is expected to roll out in the coming weeks.
