Illegal Immigrants are being hired by Democrat controlled states and localities to enforce gun laws. 

That’s not hyperbole. Reports are coming in from Police departments all over the country. From California to Maine, illegal immigrants are being hired, given guns and then enforcing the laws of the state, including gun control laws. 

Today on the Minuteman Moment Ben details GOA's plans to work with Senator Ted Budd and Representative Mary Miller to put a stop to this attack on your Second Amendment rights.

Anti-Gun States Are Hiring Illegals As Cops, Here's What We Did About It
Gun Owners of America, along with State Legislators in West Virginia, just introduced a bill to allow West Virginians to buy machineguns. Thanks to a workaround with the Hughes Amendment and Section 922(o) this legislation comports with federal law.

GOA Is Un-Banning Machine Guns With West Virginia
#news #politics #secondamendment 
GOA's SVP Erich Pratt went on C-SPAN—and they came ready to challenge our Second Amendment rights.
 
There were calls for ammunition restrictions, limiting guns to “founding-era technology," treating guns like cars, and more. 
 
But each time, Erich responded the same way:
 
* With history and facts.
* With common sense and the Constitution.
* And with NO COMPROMISE.

Congress must pass the Stop Illegal Alien Cops Act immediately, to prevent anti-gun states from using illegal aliens to enforce unconstitutional gun control laws.

Thank you to all the Members of Congress who cosponsored this new GOA-backed bill.

Here's what they are saying:⤵️

Gun Owners of America @GunOwners

🚨BREAKING🚨

Congress introduces GOA-backed bills to repeal an absurd loophole in federal law allowing states to arm illegals as police officers.

Currently, California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maine, & perhaps others are using illegals to infringe on the Second Amendment.

Here is a concept some people apparently find controversial: you should have to follow the law before you get to enforce it. Right now, a quirk in federal law allows illegal immigrants to carry government-issued firearms as sworn police officers.

Proud to cosponsor the Stop

🚨Rep. Miller, @SenTedBuddNC Lead Bill to Close Loophole Exploited by Illegal Aliens Employed as Police Officers

Sanctuary policies in states like Illinois have gone so far as to allow illegal aliens to wear the badge and carry a firearm. That is a disgrace to every honorable

This loophole gives non-Americans more gun privileges than law-abiding citizens with Second Amendment rights.

Through the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act illegals who are police have a statutory right to nationwide carry that is denied to every day Americans.

Unacceptable.
