GOA Raises Concerns About Pam Bondi’s Track Record on Gun Rights

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

February 4, 2025 

Washington, D.C. — Gun Owners of America (GOA) is sounding the alarm following the Senate confirmation of Pam Bondi as Attorney General, vowing to hold her accountable in defending Americans’ Second Amendment rights. 

While Bondi has supported some pro-gun measures, her tenure as Florida Attorney General also raises serious red flags. She endorsed the controversial Parkland gun control laws, which included “red flag” confiscation orders, a ban on firearm ownership for 18-20-year-olds, and a bump stock ban. Bondi also defended Florida’s ban on open carry and defended the 18-20 year old gun ban in court, which infringes on the rights of law-abiding gun owners. This is in stark contrast to other Florida state Attorneys General like Ashley Moody, who recently declined to defend Florida’s unconstitutional open carry ban after GOA filed a lawsuit. 

GOA remains committed to a “no-compromise” defense of the Second Amendment, urging gun owners to stay engaged and ready to hold leaders accountable. 

Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of GOA, stated: 

“Gun owners have seen firsthand how an anti-gun Attorney General can abuse their power to undermine the Constitution. Pam Bondi’s confirmation is a stark reminder that we must stay vigilant to ensure she defends, rather than dismantles, our God-given rights.” 

Aidan Johnston, GOA’s Director of Federal Affairs, added: 

“Our team in Washington, D.C. stands ready to work with Ms. Bondi and the Trump Administration to restore the Second Amendment rights lost during the Biden Administration. However, the Second Amendment is non-negotiable, and we will hold Attorney General Bondi’s feet to the fire and fight any attempts to further erode Americans’ right to keep and bear arms.” 

GOA spokesmen are available for interviews. Gun Owners of America is a nonprofit grassroots lobbying organization dedicated to protecting the right to keep and bear arms without compromise. GOA represents over two million members and activists. For more information, visit GOA’s Press Center.
