For too long, politicians have underestimated how central the Second Amendment is to American voters. They assumed that a few campaign slogans would be enough to satisfy gun owners. But a new Reuters/Ipsos poll from Sept. 23 proves otherwise: Republicans now lead Democrats by four points on gun policy and by a decisive 20 points on crime. These numbers show that defending the right to keep and bear arms is not only good policy—it’s good politics. They also confirm a larger trend: America...

For 91 years, the unconstitutional National Firearms Act has trampled on your Second Amendment rights. This year, GOA spearheaded the movement to gut the NFA, and we came within a whisker of outright victory. Even leftist publications like The Guardian were amazed that GOA was able to move the fight “from a fringe view into a broadly supported position.” While Congress finally gutted the NFA’s tax provisions, dropping the $200 fee to $0 for suppressors and short-barreled firearms, they...

GOA’s Erich Pratt with Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC), who is the chief sponsor of H.R. 38 In the wake of recent tragic shootings, it’s clearer than ever: Responsible, law-abiding gun owners make a difference when they’re able to protect themselves and others. That’s why I’m reaching out to you today. President Trump has publicly called on Congress to pass the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act (H.R. 38), and we need your help to get it across the finish line. Simply put, this...

The Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) and Sheriff Robert Luna on Tuesday, accusing it of “systematically” delaying concealed carry permits for law-abiding citizens in violation of the Second Amendment. The lawsuit, which the DOJ touts as its first-ever affirmative lawsuit in support of gun owners, alleges the LASD created a “pattern and practice” of obstruction by forcing law-abiding citizens to wait months and even years for a...

The largest banks in America, including Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase, are actively debanking and discriminating against the entire firearms industry. They’re targeting gun manufacturers, retailers, and organizations like GOA, refusing to provide banking services, all to appease radical anti-gun activists. This is a deliberate, un-American assault on the Constitutionally protected right of all Americans to keep and bear arms. It’s not just wrong. It’s dangerous. And it must stop! Sign...

Four Anti-Gun Bills Coming Up for a Vote! Anti-gun Speaker Joanna McClinton (D-191) is fast-tracking FOUR anti-gun bills that were reported earlier this week from the House Judiciary Committee.

The anti-gun House Democratic leadership just reported four gun control bills from committee today. The vote was entirely on party lines, with all Democrats voting to pass gun control and all Republicans voting against restricting our constitutionally-protected rights. Here are the gun control bills that passed and will be reported to the House floor: HB 1099 (Undetectable Firearms) — This bill would make it a 3rd degree felony to manufacture, import, sell, ship, deliver, possess...

Attorney General Jason Miyares has recently sided against us in court by defending Virginia’s unconstitutional One Handgun a Month law. Instead of standing with gun owners, he worked to keep that restriction in place and argued that it should survive even though similar laws have already been struck down elsewhere. Now there is an even bigger concern. Twenty six attorneys general and the Arizona Legislature have just filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court in Gator’s Custom Guns v...

PA House Judiciary Committee Scheduled to Vote on Gun Control The anti-gun House Democratic leadership is wasting no time exploiting the Charlie Kirk assassination to ram their radical, gun control agenda down our throats. On Monday, September 22, 2025, House Judiciary Chair Tim Briggs (D-149) will bring the following anti-gun bills up for a vote: HB 837 (One Gun A Month) — Limits handgun purchases to one gun per month. This is a blatantly unconstitutional rationing of an enumerated...
