In a rare and powerful move, the U.S. Department of Justice has thrown its weight behind gun owners, urging the Supreme Court to hear Wolford v. Lopez<\/a><\/em>, a pivotal case challenging Hawaii\u2019s post-Bruen<\/em> \u201csensitive location\u201d law. This could be a landmark moment for gun rights\u2014and it’s sending shockwaves through the anti-gun establishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For what appears to be the first time ever, the federal government has filed an amicus brief<\/a> siding with petitioners in a Second Amendment challenge. The brief\u2014submitted by Solicitor General D. John Sauer and others in the Trump administration\u2014calls Hawaii\u2019s restrictive carry law \u201cplainly unconstitutional.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms<\/a> (CCRKBA) applauded the move and credited the DOJ\u2019s newly formed Second Amendment Task Force with taking meaningful action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
