We’re battling the ATF and anti-gunners in CA, NJ, NM, NY, and even FL!

John,


In an unearthed video, Kamala Harris threatened to enter your “locked home” to
see if you’re complying with her unconstitutional gun laws.



But she’ll have to get past Gun Owners of America first.



GOA has been taking anti-gun tyrants like Kamala to court all over the nation
– and WINNING.



We SUED the Biden-Harris ATF in court over its Universal Registration Check
rule that mandates background checks on theprivate sales of firearms.


We won a temporary restraining order followed by a Preliminary Injunction in
June which prevents the ATF from enforcing this rule against GOA members around
the country.


Now, the Biden-Harris Administration is appealing the ruling in an attempt to
salvage its latest infringement – and we have importantfiling deadlines in the
coming weeks, both in the district court and in the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Fifth Circuit.


Not only that – we’re also facing imminent deadlines, depositions, arguments,
and other critical actions for our legal battles against anti-gunners in
Florida, New Mexico, New Jersey, and New York.


YOUR generous support ensures that we can stay in ALL of these fights until
the bitter end and declare VICTORY over these anti-gun tyrants who are hellbent
on abolishing the Second Amendment.


Please make a contribution to our Legal Defense Fund to help us stay in the
fight to protect YOUR God-given rights.

I want to call attention to two great victories recently achieved by GOA’s
legal team in New York and California.


No matter where you live, these victories are critical for any gun owner who
wants to freely travel with their firearm across state borders.


In New York, we filed a lawsuit on behalf of Newsmax’s Carl Higbie and other
plaintiffs to challenge New York’s blanket ban on out-of-state residents being
able to obtain a concealed carry permit – or, to ensure New York honors
out-of-state permits.


Our lawsuit apparently struck a nerve, and encouraged NYC to start issuing
permits to out-of-state residents, which are good throughout the entire state!


That means, with the necessary permits, a gun owner should be able to travel
from Florida to Maine with their concealed carry firearm on their hip.


Previously, one would have to speed through New York and not take bathroom
breaks, with their firearm locked and unloaded in the trunk – if they wanted to
abide by the law.


Even though our case has encouraged New York to start issuing permits, our
legal challenge continues.Our attorneys are currently taking depositions
against the NY state police and other defendants in the case.


Things are even more extreme in California, which unlike New York, just flat
outDENIES anyone out of state the ability to apply for a permit…


…That is, until GOA and the California Rifle and Pistol Association joined
together to take action.



In our California case, CRPA v. LASD, the judge wrote that the state of
California FAILED to demonstrate why they infringe on the constitutionally
protected right to keep and bear arms for citizens visiting the state.



As a consequence, California must now allow out-of-state residents the ability
to apply for a permit.



Right now, plaintiffs in our case are meeting with the state to submit a
proposed order enjoining the law.



Of course, your God-given rights don’t end where another state begins. You
shouldn’t even need a permit to prove your right to exercise the Second
Amendment.


But until constitutional carry reciprocity is enacted, we will keep fighting
in every single state to protect your ability to freely carry.


For instance, in New Jersey, we are challenging the state’s pistol purchase
permit law, the state’s one-gun-a-month law, and the six-month delays in
obtaining permits.


In Florida – which you’d expect to be a pro-gun state – we are challenging the
state’s ban on open carry. There are only three other states in the nation
where open carry is fully prohibited – New York, Illinois, and California.
There is absolutely no excuse for Florida to be on that list.


And in New Mexico, the governor declared gun violence to be a “public health
emergency” and used that as an excuse to SUSPEND the Second Amendment rights of
the state’s citizens last year.


Within 24 hours, our legal team fought back by filing a lawsuit against the
ban in federal court – and won a temporary restraining order.


Since then, the Governor has revised her executive action, and so GOA
continues to battle her carry ban in the courts. This week, one of our
attorneys will be participating in oral arguments in the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Tenth Circuit in our continuing challenge to block the Governor’s
efforts to restrict the right to bear arms.


Finally, in Illinois, the trial challenging the state’s ban on commonly owned
semi-automatic firearms and standard capacity magazines has begun.


In April of 2023, we won a preliminary injunction that blocked Illinois from
enforcing their ban after U.S. District Judge Stephen P. McGlynn agreed that we
were likely to succeed in our claim that state law violates the Second
Amendment.


But then, the Seventh Circuit ruled that the law was constitutional and did
not violate the Second Amendment.


While the Supreme Court initially rejected our request for them to review the
Seventh Circuit’s ruling, this case may still very well end up at the Supreme
Court.


As Justice Thomas wrote, “If the Seventh Circuit ultimately allows Illinois to
ban America's most common civilian rifle, we can—and should—review that
decision once the cases reach a final judgment.”


As you can see, we’re fighting anti-gunners all across America!


But YOUR generous support ensures that we can stay in ALL of these fights
until the bitter end and declare VICTORY for your God-given rights.


So, if you can, please make a contribution to our Legal Defense Fund to help
us stay in the fight to protect YOUR God-given rights.
