Here’s what actually happened: After the 5th Circuit held that the federal ban on FFL handgun sales to those under 21 violated the #2A, the AG declined to further appeal that ruling. The remaining issue was the scope of the injunction. After a hard-fought win for the President on

3/ … In the 5th Circuit case, DOJ agreed to an injunction throughout the 5th Circuit, as well as an injunction for any known members of the plaintiff organizations located anywhere else in the country. In response, the court ordered something DOJ did not ask for—it ordered the

4/The video also accuses @AGPamBondi of advocating for “lifetime gun bans for nonviolent offenses.” That’s not a fair characterization of the @TheJusticeDept position. DOJ has generally defended 18 U.S.C. 922(g) while also simultaneously establishing a rights-restoration process

5/ The video is filled with inaccuracies in what it says about the history and procedural posture of specific cases, but the biggest problem is what the video doesn’t say. Every day, under @AGPamBondi’s leadership, DOJ persuades courts to tackle generational-level 2A issues and

6/ In Wolford v. Lopez, the Attorney General asked the Supreme Court to take up Hawaii’s near-complete ban on public carry, and the Court granted review. In the Seventh Circuit, we asked the court to invalidate a ban on AR-15s and 10+ capacity magazines. I was proud to argue

7/ At the Attorney General’s direction, we @CivilRights recently filed a first-of-its-kind lawsuit challenging Los Angeles County’s pattern or practice of infringing the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens seeking concealed carry weapons permits by imposing lengthy

8/ The Attorney General’s Second Amendment Enforcement Task Force has settled, declined to appeal, or changed positions in appropriate cases from the Biden Administration to better protect law-abiding citizens’ Second Amendment rights. The Department has recognized, for example,

9/ The Task Force has also taken historic action to begin a regulatory process under 18 USC § 925(c) that will, for the first time in decades, allow persons who have a criminal history in the distant past but who no longer pose a threat to public safety to apply to have their

10/ @TheJusticeDept lawyers are also working with ATF to completely overhaul and modernize its firearm regulations. We are reviewing and, where appropriate, revising federal regulations on firearms, especially those that pose unnecessary burdens on law-abiding Americans’ Second

11/  ATF has revoked its zero-tolerance policy that attempted to put gun dealers out of business for paperwork violations.   ATF is also in the process of revoking the prior administration’s “engaged in the business” rule, which tried to ban private (non-FFL) firearm sales.   ATF

12/ In sum: I am a gun owner and a long-time advocate for Second Amendment Rights. I have fought in private practice for the broadest possible scope of federal and state gun rights. And I am VERY proud of the work this @TheJusticeDept and especially my boss @AGPamBondi have put

@AAGDhillon Just a ?, What are your thoughts on red flag laws FROM @grok Yes, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi helped write the red flag law, known as the Gun Violence Restraining Order, as part of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act. Just two weeks after the

@AAGDhillon There is so much gas lighting and excuses. The factvremains the the DOJ is still fighting the same battles as the Biden administration and will continue to do until people start getting fired. Pam Bondi is cherry picking things and quite honestly just tell the DOJ to stop

@AAGDhillon Why are you not enforcing bruin in states that are ignoring it???? Dexter Taylor is still in jail in New York.

@AAGDhillon @AAGDhillon - I think that you have been doing yeoman's work on 2A issues. Yes, there are those who will never be happy under any circumstances. But I do like the general direction, and understand that judicial stuff takes a while and incremental steps.

@AAGDhillon You are a liar

@AAGDhillon Speaking of 2A and CASA: 2A brief: "What, really, is this system for protecting people’s rights if it amounts to this—placing the onus on the victims to invoke the law’s protection, and rendering the very institution that has the singular function of ensuring compliance with the

@AAGDhillon NAGR has a history of getting things wrong. If @GunOwners or @gunpolicy make a claim it tends to be more accurate and on point.

@AAGDhillon I still have trepidations about one of your DoJ associates but your cogent argument & presentation of facts nullifies my concerns - thank you!

@AAGDhillon Thank you, great thread!

@AAGDhillon It was ruled unconstitutional. Unconstitutional, and you continued to fight. You put people in prison if their barrel is an inch too short. Fuck y’all.

@AAGDhillon I think you're missing the huge elephant in the room point here... END PARTICIPATION IN ANY CASE THAT ARGUES FOR LESS 2A LIBERTY. Period. Full stop. Just walk away and allow the W to go to 2A rights, regardless of the gov's involvement in prior admins.

@AAGDhillon Bringing Trump v CASA into this is horribly myopic. While yes, limiting the reach of 'universal injunctions' for lower courts can be reasonable, THE SECOND AMENDMENT applies to ALL. If a case is decided on 2A, it applies to all covered by the 2A.

@AAGDhillon You will defend your federal laws and that’s all we need to know. You’re next on the no job list.

@AAGDhillon @HarmeetKDhillon if this was a violation of the 1st amendment right like: restrictions when a child could be baptized. Wouldn’t that necessitate a Nation wide injunction if you had multiple states restricting When you could have your child baptized?

@AAGDhillon @AAGDhillon I think you’re doing a heck of a job. It’s all uphill and y’all appear to be trying to get there. I know it doesn’t always look like. 🇺🇸

@AAGDhillon Lies

@AAGDhillon I'm confused. According to the Selective Service Act, failure to register within 30 days of 18th birthday is a felony. To include fines, jail time and loss of government employment privileges. How can a young National Guardsman train on his or her own time?

@AAGDhillon One question. Why is atf still collecting, scanning, records this effectively creating a searchable data base of gun owners? That's seems like a rule/policy easier to correct than anything in court.

@AAGDhillon Gun bans are still in place. Magazine bans are still in place. Carry permits are either not being issued or carry such onerous costs and requirements people still can't obtain them. And the ATF rules are still there,waiting to be used against us again.

@AAGDhillon @HarmeetKDhillon Everyone is saying she’s going create a gun registry.

@AAGDhillon How can they have it so wrong??

@AAGDhillon Need the government to take the right side on the NFA cases currently in the courts. The regulations on SBRs and suppressors are not Constitutional, and the government shouldn't defend this law.

@AAGDhillon What a bullshit cop out. If you agree the law is unconstitutional, youre saying that its ok to enforce an unconstitutional law on *some* americans. Thats a heinous position

@AAGDhillon We know what happened. We don't need your gaslighting. WE NEED YOU TO SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO US. All this administration does is TALK and claim credit for things you didn't do.

@AAGDhillon @HarmeetKDhillon The Constitution does not prescribe an age restriction to bearing arms. Therefore any law to the effect is REPUGNANT to the Constitution.
