— GOA credited with killing gun control in the U.S. Senate

“PBS’s new special … credits GOA with dragging Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) into the light when he tried to cloak his 2013 gun control push with words like ‘compromise’ and ‘loopholes.’” — Breitbart, January 8, 2015

PBS Highlights GOA’s Role in Killing Gun Control

A new PBS special ran this week highlighting the work of Gun Owners of America, along with it’s army of more than one million members and activists.

According to Breitbart, which reported on the PBS video this week, GOA “called [Senator] Manchin out” and began pushing other gun rights groups in 2013 by asking GOA members to call the NRA and “urge them to oppose Manchin’s bill.”

When the smoke cleared, Breitbart reports, all the gun rights groups stood “shoulder to shoulder” against Manchin’s gun control bill and defeated it.

GOA Executive Director Larry Pratt said: “Gun control simply kills people. And for Senator Manchin to wave the bloody shirts of those children from Newtown is despicable.”

Speaking of despicable …

French Gun Control Turns an Entire Nation into “Sitting Ducks”

AK-47’s are very, very, very, very illegal in France.  Their laws are stricter than California’s.  And while it’s virtually impossible to legally get a gun in that country, most police don’t even carry them, according to Fox Cable News’ Judge Andrew Napolitano.

Yet, this didn’t stop Said and Cherif Kouachi from taking an AK-47s and murdering twelve and injuring 11, right in the middle of Paris — yelling “Allah Akbar” as they slowly and methodically killed their helpless victims.

Gun control advocates like Piers Morgan have condemned the killings, while remaining strangely silent about France’s gun laws.

But in the wake of this tragic massacre, GOA posted a video reminder showing how concealed carry holders have stopped mass shootings in this country.
