Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador has joined attorneys general from 26 states in a letter to U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi in support of the creation of the Second Amendment Task Force.
In the letter led by West Virginia Attorney General JB McCuskey, a coalition of state attorneys general praised the formation of the Task Force as “a critical space for the federal government to devise innovative strategies to use litigation and policy effectively in the fight to protect the Second Amendment.”
The attorneys general compared the Trump Administration’s plans with Biden-era policies they described as “troubling animus against the Second Amendment.” They emphasized the fundamental importance of Second Amendment rights within America’s constitutional framework, citing the Supreme Court’s recognition of those rights as “deeply rooted in the Nation’s history and tradition.”
The coalition pledged their full support and collaboration with the Task Force, offering to stand alongside the federal government in Second Amendment litigation, provide administrative expertise for federal regulatory reform and coordinate with the Department of Justice on law enforcement matters.
