As GOA-Backed Language Advances, House Bill is Set to Repeal Biden Gun Control




Dear John,



A House subcommittee voted 9-6 this past week to advance legislation that was
loaded with several GOA-backed provisions that are sure to energize and
encourage gun owners across the country.



GOA’s federal lobbying team has been working closely with members of the
Commerce, Justice, and Science Appropriations Subcommittee to secure several
pro-gun victories in the base text of a critical funding bill aimed at
restoring Second Amendment rights!




Some of the highlights include
<[link removed]>:

* Language that would prevent the ATF-DEA merger, stopping the creation of a
superagency that would empower a future anti-gun administration to go after gun
owners in the same way they go after violent drug cartels.




*
A 25% budget cut for the ATF, which further reduces the agency’s funding after
last year’s historic cut. Anti-gun Democrats have said this would lead to the
ATF having to fire 1000 employees. This is a step in the right direction
towards the future abolishment of the entire agency!



*
A provision that would defund the Biden Era ATF regulations, such as the
pistol-brace ban and the frame & receiver rule.



* A GOA priority provision that would defund states that refuse to accept
concealed carry reciprocity.


* And perhaps most importantly, GOA-backed language to delete the ATF's
illegal gun registry!
These are just a few of the many wins that Gun Owners of America has fought
for in the funding bills coming up. Stay tuned for more details.



Restoring Gun Rights, One Lawsuit at a Time



Many gun owners know that GOA filed its One Big Beautiful Lawsuit
<[link removed]>
on July 4, challenging the NFA’s registration and restrictions on suppressors
and short-barreled firearms. But did you hear about GOA’s most recent lawsuit
from this past week?



Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) just filed a
challenge against the United States Postal Service
<[link removed]>
, seeking to overturn the Prohibition-era federal ban on the mailing of
handguns.



Should we win this case, GOA members would be able to mail their handguns
ahead of a trip to their final destination, and thus, be able to fly without
checking baggage.



Moreover, GOA members would be able to sell and mail handguns in-state to
other individuals—pursuant to state law—and wouldn’t have to do face-to-face
transactions.  This would be a huge deal in big states like Texas, where El
Paso to Beaumont is a 12-hour drive, and private buyers are not required to
undergo Universal Background Checks.



GOA currently has over 30 active lawsuits in more than a dozen states. Most
recently, we have filed challenges to gun control laws inMissouri
<[link removed]>
andFlorida

, among other places.



GOA Responds with Facts, Not Feuds



Finally, it saddens us to say that there is a so-called gun group that is
trying to raise money by attacking GOA’s record and reputation. Gun Owners of
America has long maintained a policy of avoiding feuds with other pro-gun
organizations. And we take pride in working alongside like-minded groups
whenever there’s an opportunity to join forces in defending and restoring the
Second Amendment.



However, some GOA members have reached out with concerns over false claims
being circulated about our record. Rather than engage in a back-and-forth with
this group, we will simply let readers draw their own conclusions.



Multiple respected pro-gun groups and publications across the country have
exposed this group for making baseless claims in their fundraising while
contributing little in terms of meaningful action. This includes well-known
GunTubers like Jared ofGuns & Gadgets, as well as trusted publications like
Bearing Arms, The Blaze, and Ammoland.

podcasters have reported

examine these publications/videos and judge for themselves.
