Here's What Happened Recently at GOA!

At GOA, we've been hard at work fighting for your Second Amendment rights,
here's what we did...




Dear John,



From President Trump pardoning five Americans, including Tate Adamiak,



To GOA filing our amicus brief in the biggest Second Amendment case since Bruen
,



And 21 Attorneys General around the country are urging Congress to repeal the
NFA, thanks to GOA's victory in court...



GOA has been busy.



You deserve an update.

Recently,



President Trump signed pardons for five gun owners who were wrongfully
convicted by ATF.



Those convicted included Tate Adamiak, an individual whose story has become an
example of the Biden ATF's goal: prosecuting law-abiding gun owners for
technical errors, going as far as to even fabricate evidence to support their
case.



We at GOA want to thank President Trump for pardoning these innocent gun
owners and working to restore the Second Amendment!



***



Next, Gun Owners of America filed our amicus brief in the largest Second
Amendment case sinceBruen.



Viramontes v. Cook County deals with the ownership of AR15s and similar style
semi-automatic rifles, and could potentially overturn unconstitutional
so-called "assault weapons" bans nationwide.



***



And finally, 21 Attorneys General across the country are urging Congress to
abolish the National Firearms Act!



This comes after GOA's historic win against the registration requirements of
the NFA in our "One Big Beautiful Lawsuit."

This week, President Trump pardoned five gun owners who were wrongfully
prosecuted and convicted by ATF.



Those convicted included Tate Adamiak, an individual whose story has become an
example of ATF's overreach and drive to prosecute law-abiding gun owners for
technical errors, going as far as to even fabricate evidence to support their
case.



George Peterson was another example of this. GOA filed an amicus brief the case
US v. Peterson,which involved a situation where Mr. Peterson, an FFL holder,
was prosecuted by ATF for having a homemade suppressor in his safe.



The others pardoned were Russell Fincher, Jeremy Kettler and Shane Cox, more
victims of ATF's weaponized bureaucracy under the Biden-Harris administration.



GOA was involved in both the Kettler and Cox cases as well.



We at GOA want to thank President Trump for pardoning these five individuals
and working to make sure the the federal government respects the Second
Amendment rights of all Americans.

We at GOA just filed an amicus brief in one of the most important Second
Amendment cases in years, Viramontes v. Cook County.



This case poses a simple question to the Supreme Court:



"Whether the Second and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee the right to possess
AR-15 platform and similar semiautomatic rifles"



We know the answer is clearly YES.



We were glad to be joined in our filing by some of our industry partners,
including Century Arms, Canik, B&T USA, and Fostech!



We'll be watching this case closely as it heads to oral arguments before
SCOTUS on December 2nd.

And finally, 21 Attorneys General, led by AG Tim Griffin of Arkansas, are
urging Congress to abolish the NFA!



Thanks to GOA's historic win in our "One Big Beautiful Lawsuit," these
Attorneys General have sent a letter to congressional leadership, urging them
to abolish the NFA.



In their letter, the Attorneys General ask Congress to:



"Remove the enforcement threat and ensure that no citizen is subject to these
unconstitutional provisions."



We wholeheartedly agree with these AGs, and we'll be working overtime in
Congress to ensure thatthe NFA is completely abolished.



Thank you to these patriotic AGs who co-signed this letter in defense of our
Second Amendment rights!
