Trump's DOJ looks ready to loosen the nation's gun laws

I still don't like Trump, but he's continuing to ps of the right people.

With the two motions submitted earlier this month, the government has signaled that instead of continuing the fight, the Army Corps of Engineers has agreed to change the regulation and hopes to settle the dispute in mediation instead of in court. “The Army Corps of Engineers is reconsidering the firearms policy challenged in this case, as well as plaintiffs’ requests for permission to carry firearms on Army Corps property,” the two motions read. “This reconsideration has the potential to fully resolve plaintiffs’ objections.”

The lawyer representing the plaintiffs in the Georgia case—in which oral arguments were supposed to be held next month but have now been canceled—told me he believes the DOJ’s new position reflects a new stance on guns in the White House.
