disarmers on the march

The NRA leadership became Swamp Creatures decades ago. Rubbing elbows with the sold-out, bloated political prostitutes of the Potomac Swamp instead of inhabiting the America of their constituents clouded their vision.

The word “compromise” means each side gives away a little in order to get along. Those who would have us disarmed and defenseless have been compromising with the NRA to take away legal gun ownership detail, by detail, by detail for half my life.

An example of compromise would be to give up bump stocks in exchange for select fire. It would cost no more to sell AR-15s that had SAFE-FIRE-BURST-AUTO than the ones that are purchased across the country today. But those who would be our masters do not compromise – ever. They take, take, take.

While NRA leadership willingly compromises us down to slingshots, GOA keeps working FOR us. Below is an example how.

Will President Trump Enact a Backdoor Ban on Semi-Autos?

Click on the Take Action button to tweet at the President and encourage him to oppose ANY and ALL backdoor gun bans that could outlaw semi-autos and/or magazines and match triggers.

Feinstein Gun Ban is Gun Control on Steroids

Dear Ted,

Anti-gun Democrats in Congress have introduced a repeat of the old Clinton-Feinstein ban.

But this legislation represents a gun ban on steroids.

The bills are S. 2095 and H.R. 5087, introduced by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI).

Make no mistake, these bills are far nastier than the Clinton-Feinstein gun ban ever was.

Rather than requiring two irrelevant cosmetic features in order to ban a gun (as Clinton-Feinstein did), the Feinstein-Cicilline bills would require only one, thereby affecting tens of millions of semi-automatic rifles and handguns.  

Their legislation would also outlaw standard capacity magazines. 

Sure, you can keep the guns and magazines you already have them — for now, at least.  But you have to keep them locked up, and private transfers would be outlawed by the legislation — unless you transfer them using a background registration check. 

In fact, the bill makes no provisions for what happens to your guns if you die.  And it’s far from clear whether you can pass them on to your kids — particularly if, for instance, your executor is one of the 257,000 military veterans who were unconstitutionally put into the NICS system. 


Up the pressure on Congressmen and POTUS!
Great pre-written postcards that are sent to all GOA members:


An Even Greater Threat to Gun Owners 

While the ban on commonly-owned firearms described above is bad, GOA does not believe this legislation has the votes to pass this year. 

But there is a much greater, back-door threat, that would come close to accomplishing the same goal.

The threat is this:  if President Trump can ban bump stocks without statutory authority, then a future president can ban anything without statutory authority. 

At the meeting with congressmen last week, President Trump said

We can [ban bump stocks] with an executive order.  I’m going to write the bump stock; essentially, write it out.  So you won’t have to worry about bump stock.  Shortly, that will be gone.  We can focus on other things.

So let me repeat:  If Trump can ban anything which “accelerates the rate of fire of a semiautomatic” — all in the name of banning bump stocks — then he is ultimately imposing a far-reaching gun ban.

If you doubt this, please watch this video here.

Banning something which helps a shooter “accelerate” a gun’s rate of fire can then be used by a future anti-gun Democrat President to ban polished bolts, match triggers, magazines, tripods, and perhaps even AR-15’s themselves — if they have pistol grips which allow them to be fired faster and more accurately. 

So I need you to contact the President and register your strong opposition to this Trojan Horse gun ban.

Everyone knows that President Trump is on his Twitter account every day.  

So there’s probably no better way to reach him than by clicking here to contact him directly via Twitter.

If you don’t have a Twitter account, you can send an email to President Trump using the traditional route here.

Thank you for taking action.

In Liberty,

P.S.  GOA is expending a huge amount of its resources to rally more gun owners into this battle and to get our no-compromise voice out to the media. Please consider chipping in $10, $20 or $35 to put even more heat on legislators in Congress.
