Wrangle the DOJ back in line with the 2nd Amendment

Wayne Thorn

Call to Action

Fellow Americans,

The time has come for law-abiding citizens to rise with one voice in defense of our freedoms. The Second Amendment is not a suggestion—it is a constitutional guarantee. Yet we have witnessed repeated attempts to erode it through misguided policies, bureaucratic overreach, and selective enforcement. These actions strike at the very foundation of our liberty and cannot go unanswered.

We must now take it upon ourselves to demand accountability. We call on every patriot to urge the President and the Department of Justice to honor their duty to the Constitution and to protect the rights it secures for all citizens. This is not the task of a few, but the responsibility of us all. The strength of our republic rests on the vigilance of its people, and silence in the face of encroachment is not an option.

Let us stand together—firm, united, and resolute. Write, speak, and act so that our leaders know the will of the people is clear: the Second Amendment must be upheld, and the Constitution must remain the supreme law of the land.

Dear President Trump,

I write to you today out of deep concern for the future of our Second Amendment rights. You have long stood as a defender of the right to keep and bear arms, assuring the American people that their constitutional freedoms would not be compromised. At this critical moment, we urgently need your leadership to ensure that promise is upheld.

In the past week, two significant cases—the Zero Tolerance Policy and United States v. Peterson—have underscored a troubling reality: the Department of Justice has drifted away from a fair and consistent application of constitutional principles. These cases should have been resolved simply and directly. Instead, the DOJ has complicated what should have been straightforward matters by refusing to concede to plaintiffs whose positions align with both common sense and the Constitution.

The proper course of action should have been clear: the Department ought to acknowledge that the repealed Zero Tolerance Policy was inconsistent with constitutional protections and the Department’s own evolving view of fairness. Likewise, in United States v. Peterson, the DOJ had the opportunity to affirm the plain meaning of the Second Amendment by respecting the rights of lawful citizens, yet it chose instead to resist.

The American people cannot afford ambiguity on this issue. Our constitutional rights must not be left vulnerable to bureaucratic overreach or inconsistent enforcement. The Department of Justice should be compelled to align its actions with the Constitution and the values of liberty that define our nation.

Mr. President, the time has come to move beyond words and take decisive action. We ask that you continue to stand firm in defense of the Second Amendment and bring the Department of Justice back in line with the principles of fairness, accountability, and constitutional integrity. We are watching

It is not a privilege, it is a RIGHT

DOJ Litigation Concerning the Zero Tolerance Policy

Wayne Thorn

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.

Shall not be infringed

Wayne Thorn

There is currently a legal case affecting Second Amendment rights, in which the Department of Justice and the ATF are advocating to maintain restrictions on non-residents purchasing handguns in states where they do not reside. Notably, these restrictions would not apply to rifles.

It is imperative that the President and the Department of Justice reconsider their position, withdraw any opposition to this case, and allow a judgment in favor of the plaintiffs.

Here is my letter I sent:

Dear President Trump, and DOJ Pam Bondi

I ask that you instruct DOJ, Pami Bondi, to withdraw any opposition to this action and to grant judgment in favor of the Plaintiffs. Based on the case and statements below.

The case you’re referring to is Elite Precision Customs LLC v. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), filed on January 20, 2025, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (Fort Worth Division). The case number is 4:25-cv-00044.Firearms Policy Coalition+4NationBuilder+4CourtListener+4Firearms Policy Coalition+1

Case Overview

This lawsuit challenges the federal ban on interstate transfers of handguns from federally licensed firearms dealers (FFLs) to individuals who are not residents of the state where the dealer is located. Plaintiffs argue that this restriction infringes upon the Second Amendment rights of individuals and businesses.GIFFORDS+3NationBuilder+3Firearms Policy Coalition+3

Second Amendment to the United States Constitution (ratified 1791):

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

“Infringe” was stronger than merely regulate; it implied violation, encroachment, or impairment of a right. It was not used lightly; “infringe” suggested denying or materially restricting a right rather than simply placing conditions on it.

Implication for the Second Amendment

The Framers’ use of “shall not be infringed” suggests that the right to keep and bear arms was meant to be absolute in its protection against government encroachment, though subsequent interpretation has allowed for some regulation that doesn’t destroy the right.

For example, minor regulations constitute infringement; laws that effectively prohibit the right would have been considered infringing in 1791.

Origin / Source

From Latin infringere (“to break, violate”). Common in legal texts and dictionaries of the 18th century.

From Latin incrocare or French encrocher, meaning “to hook into” or “advance beyond proper limits.” Used in legal and property contexts.

Samuel Johnson, 1755

“To violate; to transgress; to break a law or right.”

“To advance beyond proper limits; to intrude.”

Blackstone, 1765–1769

Acts that breach or diminish established rights or liberties.

Acts that intrude upon another’s lawful rights or property, including civil liberties.

Strength / Severity

Stronger: implies violation or material impairment of a right; actionable in law.

Strong but slightly more gradual: implies intrusion or gradual trespass, may or may not constitute full violation, depending on context.

Legal / Rights Implication

Government or individual cannot infringe a right without overstepping legal bounds; protection is absolute.

Encroachment is an unauthorized intrusion; often gradual or creeping; legally objectionable but may describe minor or developing overreach.

Example (18th c. rights context)

“A law prohibiting all citizens from bearing arms infringes the right to keep and bear them.”

“A law requiring burdensome regulations before exercising the right may encroach on the right, depending on severity.”

Thank you,

DOJ & ATF Go After Pin & Welds & Suppressors…AGAIN

Wayne Thorn

Here is a letter I sent to Donald Trump and Pam Bondi and each and everyone of us need to do the same to let them know we are not happy.

Dear President Trump,

I hope this message finds you well.

It appears that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) are not fully implementing or adhering to the mandates you have issued regarding the protection of Second Amendment rights. Despite your administration’s clear stance on safeguarding lawful gun ownership, we continue to see concerning actions that suggest overreach and inconsistent application of federal firearms regulations.

Below is a letter I recently sent to Pam Boni regarding this matter. I believe it reflects the growing concern among law-abiding citizens who value their constitutional rights and look to your leadership for continued defense of our freedoms.

I am writing to express serious concern over the recurring emergence of legal cases that appear to challenge established Second Amendment rights—particularly those involving suppressors, “pin and weld” methods, and other firearms-related issues. These cases often seem to originate from what appear to be overly aggressive or ideologically motivated U.S. attorneys, raising questions about oversight and accountability within the Department of Justice.

Why are these cases repeatedly being brought forward despite long-standing legal precedents and administrative guidance? Who is responsible for reviewing and approving such cases before they proceed, and why aren’t questionable filings being dismissed at the outset? The public deserves transparency and assurance that prosecutorial discretion is being exercised fairly and within constitutional bounds.

It has been stated that a specialized office or department exists within the DOJ to evaluate legal matters that may affect Second Amendment rights. If that is the case, its role in reviewing and potentially halting these prosecutions is unclear. From a citizen’s perspective, it appears that this oversight function is either ineffective or not being utilized as intended.

If any U.S. attorneys are acting outside of their proper authority or pursuing cases that lack constitutional merit, we urge immediate disciplinary action, including termination if warranted. Furthermore, a thorough investigation should be conducted to determine how such cases were allowed to proceed.

We the People expect our constitutional rights to be upheld, not undermined by those entrusted with enforcing the law. The DOJ must restore public confidence by ensuring that rogue prosecutions are promptly addressed and prevented from recurring.

Thank you for your continued commitment to the Constitution and to protecting the rights of responsible American gun owners.

Send this to the following people:

President Donald Trump – The Office of Donald J. Trump

Pam Bondi – Pam Bondi Department of Justice

And to all your Congress Representatives and Senators, – https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/current

“We, the American gun owners, must remain steadfast and vocal until President Donald Trump’s Second Amendment directives are fully implemented.”
