Many Blessings to Celebrate This Thanksgiving!


“We may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks....”


-- President George Washington, October 3, 1789


Dear John,


I realize that many people will be traveling this week visiting with friends
and family. On behalf of all the staff here at GOA, I want to wish you a very
Happy Thanksgiving and hope that you enjoy safe travels.


We are truly blessed to have you standing with us on the frontlines, fighting
anti-gun tyranny at every turn. And because of your help this year, we’ve
accomplished several victories together.


What follows are some of the good news stories that your activism and support
have helped bring about in recent weeks. I hope you enjoy them!


In Liberty,

Judge Extends Protection for GOA Members Possessing Pistol Braced Firearms!


Great news! The federal district judge who is handling the Texas/GOA v. ATF
case has recentlyextended the injunction against the ATF
<[link removed]>
—thus protecting ALL current GOA members.


<>

The original injunction from five months ago was scheduled to expire last
month. So Judge Drew Tipton extended the injunction on October 27.

The extension means the agency is prevented from enforcing the pistol brace
ban against current GOA members and their families for as long as it takes to
decide the case on the merits.

Ammoland analyzed Judge Tipton’s ruling and concluded: “The judge kept the
scope of the ruling just to GOA members. This decision means that all GOA
members will be protected from ATF enforcement actions over braced pistols for
the foreseeable future.”


Just recently, another Texas judge issued a nationwide injunction against the
braces rulemaking—and that ruling protects every gun owner in America. But even
if the ATF were to appeal that decision and get the ruling stayed—similar to
what they’ve done in other cases which involve Biden’s executive gun
controls—GOA members can rest assured that they are still covered by the
judge’s injunction in the GOA case.


So please tell your friends and family they can join GOA and become members

BREAKING: GOA Wins a Permanent Injunction Against Gun Grabbers in Oregon!


Great News! On Tuesday, GOA and its foundation—Gun Owners Foundation—received
a permanent injunction in our case against Oregon’s Ballot Measure 114 (BM114).
The new law bans certain firearms, bans standard-capacity magazines, and
requires gun owners to get a permit-to-purchase a firearm.


With this injunction, gun owners can breathe easy as this case continues to be
challenged by anti-gun progressives like Gov. Kate Brown.


Previously, after GOA and GOF had secured a preliminary injunction, Gov. Brown
had triedtwice to get the Oregon Supreme Court to set aside the circuit court
judge’s favorable decision. But the state Supreme Court rebuffed her efforts
each time.


Just recently, GOA’s attorney spent several days in court challenging BM114
during a lengthy trial. And even though the attorney ratio was 8-1 in favor of
the government, the GOA position prevailed, as of yesterday!


Stay tuned for further updates, as Gov. Brown will no doubt continue to
challenge our victory.


GOA Helping States to Veto Federal Gun Control


<>

Gun Owners of America’s legal team is helping support a Second Amendment
sanctuary law that is under fire by the Biden administration.

Known as the Second Amendment Preservation Act (or SAPA), this Missouri law
prohibits state officials from enforcing federal gun bans, gun taxes, and other
forms of federal gun control that are not found in the state’s statutes.

Missouri passed the GOA-supported SAPA in 2021, but the Biden administration
quickly found an Obama-appointed judge, Brian Wimes, and challenged the law.


GOA filed an amicus brief in this case
<[link removed]>
to help support and defend Missouri’s 2A sanctuary law.


While an Obama-appointed judge initially ruled against us at the District
level, court watchers predict the future of this case will fare much better.


Why? Because the Supreme Court has already dealt with this in the 1997 Printz
case, when an even more liberal SCOTUS ruled against allowing the federal
government to force states to implement federally-mandated gun control.

GOA in the News and on the Airwaves


“GOA makes the NRA look thoughtful and moderate.” – The Guardian, November 17,
2023


Thanks to your loyal support, GOA representatives have been all over the news
in recent days and weeks. Here are some recent GOA highlights:


<[link removed]>


* Gun control failure. GOA spokesman Luis Valdes
<[link removed]>
informsNewsmax listeners of the failure of gun control—not only in Gun Free
Zones like Parkland High School, but also in countries like Cuba and Israel,
where civilian disarmament has led to tremendous suffering.
* SCOTUS and guns. GOA Federal Affairs Director Aidan Johnston speaks to ABC
News (starting at 3:33
<[link removed]>
) about a 2A case that was just heard by the Supreme Court this month. And
while this interview is good, ABC sadly chose not to air one of Aidan's best
lines—that in a cage match between his grandma with a revolver and former
wrestler-turned-actor John Cena, the odds are actually in his grandmother's
favor!
* Minute Man Moment. ATF Director Steve Dettelbach is the FIRST ATF Director
in U.S. history to declare public support for a ban on so-called 'assault
weapons.' Funny how he can articulate his anti-gun stances for Harvard, but
while under oath in front of Congress he couldn’t even define an "assault
weapon."Check out Ben's breakdown
<[link removed]>
and what this could mean for gun owners.
* State of the Second. In this podcast, GOA's John and Kailey sit down with
Matador Arms
<[link removed]>
to talk about pistol braces, repeal of the NFA, and why it is so incredibly
important to get involved by calling your representatives and commenting on
proposed ATF rules.Have you submitted your comment against the ATF's latest
tyranny
<[link removed]>
?
* One in the Chamber. The ATF has an illegal gun registry, that is an
indisputable fact. But did you know they’re actively working with the Biden
Administration to create new rules to continue to BUILD that registry? If
you're not already on it, they want you to be.Tiffany breaks down the ATF's new
rule
<[link removed]>
and how it would lead to Universal Registration Checks.
* Shots Fired. Did you hear Joe Biden talking about the elusive firearm that
can hold a hundred rounds in its chamber?! Biden has NO CLUE what he's talking
about. But, to be fair, that may not be news. On the latest episode of Gun
Owners Foundation'sShots Fired
<[link removed]>
, Nico pokes fun at the president's goof.
* GOA says “no” to gun ban. GOA is working to defeat so-called “assault
weapons” bans in Congress and is rallying the grassroots to pressure their
Senators to vote “no.”Click here or on the graphic below

to view GOA’s appearance on the OAN network and our call to action for gun
owners nationwide.
* GOA Opposing “Biden’s War on Hunters.” Mark Jones, GOA’s National Hunter
Outreach Director and a Certified Wildlife Biologist®, sounded the alarm and
called for Congress to protect hunting traditions on national media outlets
includingThe Chad Prather Show (starting at 29:20)

voices can force the petty tyrants to back down.
