The article discusses the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division,lead by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon, taking historic legal actions in support of Second Amendment gun rights.Recently, the division filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department for delaying concealed carry permits and intervened in Illinois to oppose the state’s assault weapons ban. Dhillon emphasized that the right to self-defense is fundamental and not a “second-class right,” signaling a strong partnership with gun rights advocates.This marks the first affirmative lawsuit by the DOJ explicitly backing gun owners, a move praised by groups like the Illinois State Rifle Association as a historic moment in the fight against restrictive gun control laws<\/a>. The involvement of the DOJ is seen as a significant boost for efforts challenging various gun bans and restrictions nationwide.
