I’m furious, and you should be too, friend.

 

The Trump Administration’s Department of Justice, under Attorney
General Pam Bondi, has just stabbed gun owners in the back. In
response to GOA’s One, Big, Beautiful lawsuit, the DOJ is not only
defending the unconstitutional NFA. They’re taking it to a whole new
level.

 

The DOJ told the courts that the federal government can register your
firearms under the “Necessary and Proper” and “Commerce”
Clauses. They claim that the NFA’s $0 tax is STILL a “valid”
tax, giving Washington a blank check to resurrect gun bans and
registrations at the stroke of a pen.

 

Think about what’s happening here. Bondi’s DOJ is arguing that the
“Necessary and Proper Clause” empowers Congress “to make all
Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into
execution” federal gun control laws. They even insist that Congress
has “broad authority to enact federal legislation” like the
NFA’s gun registration scheme.

 

So, the Government essentially says that—because of the Necessary
and Proper Clause—there’s virtually no limit to what infringements
Congress can pass. What?

 

Those words are a blank check for anti-gun officials and judges to
decide that _any _firearm they dislike can be banned. They even say
the federal government can ban firearms that are “particularly
dangerous” and “uniquely susceptible” to misuse by violent
criminals.

 

Really? Then what about handguns, which are the number one type of
firearm used in crime? Can those be banned, too?

 

This is not the rule of law. This is judicial tyranny.

 

And as you can see, we’re in a battle for the soul of the Second
Amendment. If Bondi’s DOJ gets away with this, _NOTHING_ will be
off-limits.

FIGHT BACK NOW [1]

Bondi’s DOJ is trying to get our case thrown out by claiming the
outcome is so obvious that no further proceedings are necessary. Well,
we fiercly disagree. We’re ready for a prolonged battle—and
we’re confident we’ll come out on top.

GOA’S LEGAL FIGHT IS FAR FROM OVER. We’re mobilizing and preparing
to challenge Bondi in court, but we need your help to fund our legal
efforts. CAN I COUNT ON YOU TO RUSH AN URGENT DONATION TODAY? [1]

RUSH IN $25 [1]

RUSH IN $50 [1]

RUSH IN $100 [1]

RUSH IN $250 [1]

RUSH IN ANY AMOUNT [1]

No surrender. No compromise. _NOT ONE MORE INCH._ [1]

In liberty,

[GOA] [1]
