The Democrat Party thought blue states were unbreachable citadels where the Constitution no longer applies.
But Democrats got some bad news.
And Trump just declared war on this nefarious Democrat plot to shred one fundamental right.
For decades, the left gutted the Second Amendment with gun grab after gun grab, pushing towards the Democrat Party goal of banning and confiscating every firearm in America.
The Trump administration is pushing back.
Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon announced the Department of Justice was suing Maryland’s Montgomery County over an ordinance banning residents from carrying firearms within 100 yards of locations that included churches,
“Montgomery County makes it almost impossible for a law-abiding citizen with a valid carry license to walk down the street and avoid these exclusion zones,” Dhillon declared. “The Civil Rights Division will not stand idle while Montgomery County tramples the rights guaranteed to law-abiding citizens by the Second Amendment.”
Dhillon pointed to past attempted mass shootings at houses of worship to explain that Montgomery County put lives at risk by disarming the public.
“History teaches us that people are particularly vulnerable to armed attacks during worship. That is why @CivilRights Division @TheJusticeDept is acting quickly to challenge Montgomery Co., MD’s law disarming congregants in houses of worship that permit firearms.
The Justice Department argued that the county’s gun ban didn’t pass muster under the Supreme Court’s precedent in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, where the majority held that any gun control legislation that didn’t respect America’s history and tradition of protecting the Second Amendment was unconstitutional.
“Montgomery County will not be able to rebut the presumption of unconstitutionality because it will not be able to show that Bill 23-26 does not infringe upon the historical understanding of the right codified in the Second Amendment,” the complaint reads. “Indeed, just the opposite is true. The nation has no ‘tradition of banning firearms in places of worship.’”

For decades, the Supreme Court treated the Second Amendment, in the words of Justice Clarence Thomas, as a “second class right.”
That changed with the Bruen decision, which the Trump administration is using to go on offense to dismantle Blue States’ gun control regimes.
