The DOJ is still fighting the GOA case over the Zero Tolerance Policy, even though the policy has already been repealed. It’s time for us to speak up. Contact the Department of Justice and send a request to the President to tell them to stop this unnecessary litigation and concede to the plaintiffs’ claims.
Here is a copy of the letter I sent to the DOJ and a copy to the President.
Re: DOJ Litigation Concerning the Zero Tolerance Policy
Dear Attorney General Bondi,
I am writing to respectfully urge the Department of Justice to discontinue further litigation in defense of the repealed “Zero Tolerance” policy. On April 7, 2025, you and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) rightly announced the repeal of the Enhanced Regulatory Enforcement Policy. In that announcement, you stated:
“This Department of Justice believes that the 2nd Amendment is not a second-class right. The prior administration’s ‘Zero Tolerance’ policy unfairly targeted law-abiding gun owners and created an undue burden on Americans seeking to exercise their constitutional right to bear arms – it ends today.”
That declaration was clear and unequivocal. Yet, the Department’s continued defense of the policy in court stands at odds with your own words and the official repeal. To persist in litigation risks undermining the Department’s credibility and prolonging unnecessary legal conflict with plaintiffs who were directly harmed by the policy.
I respectfully ask that you take immediate steps to align the Department’s litigation posture with its public position. This includes conceding to the plaintiffs in the pending cases and acknowledging that the repealed policy was inconsistent with the Department’s current view of constitutional rights and fairness.
The American people deserve consistency from the Department of Justice. By standing firmly behind your April 7th statement and ending these legal defenses, you will reinforce the Department’s commitment to both the Constitution and to justice itself.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Make your voice heard about our 2nd Amendment rights.
Lets Keep America Great
