President Trump<\/a> said he supports gun rights and now appears to be backing it up<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… The Justice Department<\/a> filed a friend of the court brief<\/a> in support of the plaintiffs suing Hawaii<\/a> over a new law that curbs where people with concealed carry permits can bring their firearms, making it a misdemeanor to carry on any private property without “unambiguous written or verbal authorization” or where “clear and conspicuous signage” grants permission from the owner …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is similar to New York’s law<\/a> so a SCOTUS<\/a> win in this case would affect us.<\/p>\n

But it gets even better<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“The Justice Department plans to expand gun-rights protections with a new office in its civil rights division dedicated to enforcing the U.S. constitutional right to bear arms<\/a>, according to plans shared with Congress and reviewed by Reuters. The office, called the Second Amendment Rights Section, expects to open on December 4<\/strong> and will be dedicated to investigating local laws or policies limiting gun rights.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There’s plenty of nonsense going on in the state that could, and should, be investigated for civil rights violations.<\/p>\n
