Did The DOJ Just Support Gun Rights For The First Time?

In a historic first, the U.S. Department of Justice has filed an amicus brief supporting the Second Amendment in Wolford v. Lopez, challenging Hawaii’s so-called “Vampire Rule” that flips public carry rights on their head.

To unpack the legal weight of this federal brief and how it could impact sensitive places bans, SB2, and even the future of Bruen analysis nationwide, we're joined by CRPA legal counsel Kostas Moros of Michel & Associates.

🔎 In this episode:

Why the DOJ’s amicus brief is truly unprecedented
What the “Vampire Rule” is and how it threatens carry rights
How this brief might influence both Wolford and May v. Bonta
The timeline and possible outcomes at SCOTUS

Whether this changes the game for other pending Second Amendment cases like Duncan v. Bonta and Snoe v. Raoul

📢 CRPA has filed its own amicus brief in Wolford, and we’ll continue tracking this case every step of the way. This is the legal battleground where Second Amendment rights are being defined in real time.

🛑 California’s war on gun shows is part of a broader push to dismantle lawful gun ownership culture. Stay informed. Stay involved.
