The Second Amendment Is A Civil Right

Believe it or not, the Second Amendment is a Civil Right. 

Democrats and others from the Left have not treated it as such and have gone to great lengths to undermine it. Thankfully, we have an administration who will vigorously defend the Second Amendment.

That is the topic of an article in America's 1st Freedom. They begin it with:

Harmeet Dhillon, the recently confirmed Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, a division within the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), has announced a new focus: The protection of the Second Amendment against any state or local government that hopes to undermine it. “Prior Republican administrations haven’t paid a lot of attention to affirmatively doing that,” said Dhillon, with the result being that “city after city, state after state are eviscerating those rights” while “mocking the Supreme Court.” Henceforth, she concluded, that mockery will have consequences.

Dhillon suggested that the decision to make the Second Amendment “a focus of the Civil Rights Division” may come as a “surprise to many people on both sides.” And, given the way that the right to keep and bear arms has often been treated in the nation’s capital, she is probably right. As a historical matter, though, the move ought not to surprise anyone, for, instead of being an aberration or an innovation, ensuring that the Second Amendment was “affirmatively” extended to everyone was one of the first things that Dhillon’s agency ever did.
