Here’s What YOUR Gun Lobby Did For The Second Amendment This Week!
At GOA, we’ve been hard at work fighting for your Second Amendment rights, here’s what we did…

We at Gun Owners of America have been hard at work fighting for your rights this week.

Between filing a lawsuit in Virginia against the just-signed ban on commonly owned firearms, questioning the ATF Director on the Bureau’s past abuses, and passing the NICS Reporting Act— we’ve been busy.

You deserve an update.

Recently:

GOA filed suit in Virginia against Gov. Abigail Spanberger, for signing into law a sweeping ban on commonly owned semi-automatic firearms and magazines.

GOA lobbied for Congress to question the recently sworn in ATF Director, Robert Cekada on ATF’s past abuses— including Tiahrt violations of gun owners’ records and their Illegal Registry.

And last, but certainly not least— GOA backed legislation, the NICS Reporting Act, passed the House!

GOA filed a lawsuit against the State of Virginia for banning commonly owned semi-automatic firearms, magazines and the carry of those arms in public spaces.

Our lawsuit works to fight some of the worst excesses of Virginia’s tyrannical attempt to restrict law-abiding citizens from exercising their Second Amendment rights.

We filed in state court, and expect the lawsuit to move quickly. We’ll update you as the situation develops.

Thanks to the support of members like you, we can file lawsuits against tyrants like Gov. Spanberger and her administration.

Your grassroots support helps us to fight for your Second Amendment rights all across the nation!

Next up, GOA lobbied Congress to question recently sworn-in ATF Director, Rob Cekada, on the Bureau’s abuses of the Tiahrt Amendment.

Nearly every pro-gun Congressman mentioned Gun Owners of America, and their frustration with ATF for abuses of the Tiahrt Amendment, an Amendment meant to protect law-abiding gun owners.

There was also questioning about ATF’s Illegal Registry, and how under the Biden Administration, ATF agents were showing up at gun owners’ doors, listing off what firearms they had inside.

And thanks to Rep. Michael Cloud’s questioning, we now know that ATF has purchased software that allows them to track gun owners’ phones.

While Director Cekada claims ATF is yet to use the new technology, we at GOA oppose any mass surveillance of gun owners.

GOA & GOF opposed geofence warrants in Chatrie v. United States, and we’ll be watching ATF to ensure they don’t deploy mass surveillance tools against gun owners.

Finally, last but not least, The GOA-backed NICS Reporting Act passed the House!

Thanks to the hard work of Rep. Thomas Massie, the NICS Reporting Act is one step closer to becoming law.

This legislation requires the Attorney General to provide data on those who were denied their Second Amendment right to purchase a firearm.

There are strong indications already, because of data provided by the Crime Prevention Research Center, that a very high percentage of denials under the NICS system are illegitimate (that is, are false positives)

The NICS background check system is broken, and NICS should be abolished. This legislation puts GOA and our allies one step closer to that goal.

It has been a busy week in the fight for the Second Amendment. We’re here in Washington DC, and across the United States holding the line against tyranny.
