John,



2025 has been a banner year for defending your Second Amendment rights—and Gun
Owners of America has been on the frontlines every step of the way.



Thanks to our members’ support, we’ve scored eight major victories this year ⬇️




Top 8 Legal Wins of 2025

1️⃣ GOA Forces DOJ to End Zero-Tolerance Rule

GOA’s legal action forced the DOJ to end the Biden-era “Zero Tolerance” policy
that unfairly targeted honest gun dealers over simple paperwork mistakes. This
win protects gun dealers nationwide—ensuring more choice, more access, and a
stronger firearms marketplace for Americans.



2️⃣ Skip NICS

GOA’s lawsuit forces ATF to restore “Brady Alternative” status for
carry-permit holders in states like Michigan and Alabama. This allows
law-abiding citizens to bypass NICS background checks when purchasing firearms
– a huge win for freedom against registration-style checks.



3️⃣ Coast-to-Coast Carry Secured

GOA won major lawsuits in both New York AND California against non-resident
concealed carry permit denials. Together, these victories make it possible for
GOA members to legally carry concealed firearms from coast to coast.



4️⃣ GOA Secures Constitutional Carry Victory

GOA launched a successful legal challenge against the “going armed” statute in
Tennessee – and won. That ruling effectively turned Tennessee into a
Constitutional-Carry state. Sadly, the Republican Attorney General is now
appealing our victory, so the new carry protections will be on hold until next
year.

5️⃣ VA Universal Background Check Law Struck Down

Partnering with the VCDL, GOA secured a court order striking down Virginia’s
Universal Background Check (UBC) law after a five-year battle. Virginia gun
owners can once again buy and sell firearms privately, free from government
interference.



6️⃣ Florida Open Carry Ban Overturned

Following a legal challenge from GOA, Florida has agreed that open carry is
protected under the Second Amendment and confirmed it will no longer enforce
its ban. This is a huge, long-overdue victory for gun owners in the Sunshine
State.



7️⃣ Memphis, TN Red Flag Law “Dead as a Doornail”

GOA shut down a sweeping gun-control push by the city of Memphis, Tennessee,
forcing the city to admit its carry ban and Red Flag scheme were all illegal.
The judge didn’t mince words, declaring the ordinance “dead as a doornail.”



8️⃣ GOA Forces MO County to Reverse Gun Ban

GOA sued Jackson County, Missouri, for undermining state preemption with a ban
on 18-to-20-year-olds’ handgun purchases. The Missouri AG (Andrew Bailey at the
time) joined GOA, forcing the county to “back down and amend its ordinance” to
remove the unconstitutional provisions.



>> KEEP THE WINS COMING <<

These victories didn’t happen by accident, John. They happened because GOA
fights tirelessly for our rights in courtrooms across the country. But the
battle isn’t over.



Every time we win, anti-gun politicians and bureaucrats plot to take those
rights away again.That’s why we need your support today, to keep GOA on the
frontlines, protecting, defending, and restoring the Second Amendment for all
Americans.



Donate today and ensure GOA has the resources to continue filing lawsuit after
lawsuit against those who seek to erode our right to keep and bear arms.
