The U.S. Department of Justice will open a new office within the Civil Rights Division, calling it he Second Amendment Rights Section, following up on a February announcement which launched what Attorney General Pam Bondi called the Second Amendment Enforcement Task Force.

Reuters is reporting this new section "intends to execute the broad policy directions…issued by President Donald Trump directing…Bondi to comb the entire U.S. government to 'assess any ongoing infringements' of gun rights."

The new section will tentatively open next Thursday, Dec. 4. It marks a major shift from previous administrations, which tended to be lukewarm to hostile about the Second Amendment. Trump appears determined to strengthen gun rights, thus restoring the Second Amendment to its full status as a cornerstone of the Bill of Rights.

According to Reuters, Bondi's new section will "comb the entire U.S. government to 'assess any ongoing infringements' of gun rights."
