Abstract

The US Justice Department's Civil Rights Division is considering making gun rights a formal priority, shifting focus from traditional areas like voting rights and discrimination cases. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon stated that the department is reviewing state and local gun control measures to ensure they do not infringe on citizens' Second Amendment rights. This potential change in focus is already reflected in an investigation into delays in issuing concealed-carry permits by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The department's historical priorities have included voting rights enforcement, housing and employment discrimination cases, and police oversight. [Extracted from the article]
