News that a Second Amendment Rights Section is set to open within the Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) Civil Rights Division has some gun rights activists cautiously optimistic but doubtful that the office will do much.

According to a Nov. 25 report by Reuters, the new office is expected to open on Dec. 4 and implement policies outlined in an executive order issued by President Donald Trump on Feb. 7. Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to review gun policies set between 2021 and 2025 to “assess any ongoing infringements” of gun rights, according to the order.
