Major Second Amendment news is making headlines after President Donald Trump shared comments from DOJ Civil Rights Division leader Harmeet Dhillon suggesting the U.S. Supreme Court could eventually strike down AR-15 bans nationwide. The announcement comes as the Department of Justice increases legal action against gun restrictions in states like Colorado and cities like Denver.

According to Dhillon, the DOJ’s new Second Amendment section is actively working to defend firearm rights and challenge laws that may violate the Constitution. Recent lawsuits targeting magazine bans and semi-automatic rifle restrictions could pave the way for major Supreme Court decisions in the near future.

Gun rights advocates believe these legal battles could lead to nationwide protections for commonly owned firearms like the AR-15. With multiple cases moving through the courts, many are now watching to see whether the Supreme Court will take up a major Second Amendment challenge in 2026.
