At the 2026 NRA Annual Meetings, Gun Talk’s Tom Gresham is joined by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon to discuss the Department of Justice’s aggressive push to defend Second Amendment rights—and the legal battles unfolding across the country.

Dhillon breaks down the DOJ’s response to controversial firearm legislation, including recent actions in Virginia, challenges to so-called “assault weapon” bans, and efforts to protect gun manufacturers from state-level overreach. She also shares insight into ongoing cases that could shape future Supreme Court rulings and what gun owners should expect moving forward.

From federal lawsuits to training and advocacy, this conversation highlights the DOJ’s evolving role in protecting gun rights nationwide.
