# Anti-Gun Dems Throw a Tantrum Over DOJ’s Pro-2A Power Move
In a delicious twist of irony, two of the most rabid anti-gun Democrat senators—think Dick Durbin (IL) and Sheldon Whitehouse (RI)—are pitching a fit over the Department of Justice’s shiny new Second Amendment Section. Announced earlier this month under Attorney General Pam Bondi, this dedicated unit is laser-focused on defending Americans’ gun rights in court, pushing back against overreaching federal regulations that flout the Constitution. The senators fired off a letter accusing the DOJ of weaponizing the bureaucracy to undermine public safety, demanding details on its operations and threatening oversight hearings. But let’s call it what it is: establishment panic mode as the Trump administration finally arms up to protect the very rights these pols have spent decades eroding.
This backlash isn’t just sour grapes; it’s a glaring signal flare for the 2A community. For years, the DOJ under Biden treated the Second Amendment like an inconvenient footnote, greenlighting ATF rules on pistol braces, ghost guns, and forced serialization that courts have since shredded (hello, *Garland v. Cargill* on bump stocks). Now, with a pro-rights AG at the helm, we’re seeing real teeth: dedicated litigators to challenge Biden-era leftovers and future encroachments. Durbin and Whitehouse’s outrage exposes the fault lines—Democrats who once cheered executive overreach are suddenly allergic when it’s turned against their gun-grab agenda. It’s clever lawfare in reverse, using the government’s own tools to fortify the ramparts.
For gun owners, the implications are huge: expect faster demolitions of unconstitutional rules, stronger defenses in red-flag abuse cases, and a chilling effect on activist judges. This section isn’t just bureaucratic theater; it’s a bulwark against the slow boil of incremental disarmament. 2A warriors, celebrate this win, but stay vigilant—these senators’ meltdown means the fight’s far from over. Stock up, train up, and keep the pressure on: our rights aren’t defended by letters from Capitol Hill, but by those willing to wield the law like the Founders intended.
