The Department of Justice and ATF said they were releasing 34 notices of final and proposed rulemaking after a review conducted in compliance with Executive Order 14206, Protecting Second Amendment Rights. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said DOJ is ending the weaponization of federal authority against law-abiding gun owners and will continue to defend their rights.

The Justice Department filed suit against Denver over its weapons bans, saying the laws unconstitutionally infringe on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said DOJ will vigorously defend the liberties of law-abiding citizens nationwide, and Harmeet Dhillon said she directed the Civil Rights Division's new Second Amendment Section to defend law-abiding Americans from such restrictions.

Clyde's office reported that he led nearly 50 House and Senate Republicans in a letter to Attorney General Todd Blanche urging DOJ not to appeal the August 5 NFA registration ruling and to apply it nationwide through rulemaking. The release also says OBBBA zeroed out the $200 NFA tax due to Clyde's efforts, while transfer and registration requirements remained.

DOJ announced a lawsuit against California challenging the Glock Ban and Handgun Roster as unlawful under the Second Amendment, with DOJ saying it would protect lawful gun owners from unconstitutional firearm regulation.
Assessments
Clyde has materially advanced the promise in the same federal term through direct advocacy to DOJ/Attorney General leadership and reported work on reducing the NFA tax, while DOJ and ATF have taken several official actions aligned with Second Amendment rollback priorities. However, the broader promised outcome is not fully delivered: DOJ has not completed nationwide implementation of the NFA ruling, transfer and registration requirements remain, and the evidence does not show all listed priorities enacted or directly caused by Clyde. Partial credit is warranted with an effort badge for concrete ongoing action.
The cited DOJ and ATF actions are concrete federal executive actions during Clyde's ongoing congressional service and are aligned with restoring Second Amendment liberties. However, the evidence does not show that Clyde personally worked with the Attorney General, sponsored controlling legislation, or materially advanced these specific DOJ/ATF outcomes. Because unrelated executive officials appear to have completed aligned parts of the promise without demonstrated candidate contribution, this supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
