Support Our Legal Cases While You Shop on Amazon! GOA Files FEC Complaint Against Facebook
GOA has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission [[link removed]] against Facebook for engaging in fake “fact checking” to suppress criticism of Vice Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris.
GOA’s suit contends that this represents a violation of campaign finance laws.
One example concerns an article written by GOA’s own Rachel Malone [[link removed]], who correctly demonstrated Harris’ anti-gun record. But her article was rated “false” by Facebook, which used a French “fact checker” as its source.
Not only that, John Crump, a journalist and Virginia Director for Gun Owners of America, received a lifetime ban for the sharing of Malone’s article on his personal Facebook page.

The law requires LTCF permits to be issued within 45 days.

The case of Rhode v. Becerra represents a challenge to California’s law imposing background checks on ammunition.
The law has been a monstrous failure, as it’s illegitimately denied tens of thousands of innocent gun owners.
Gun Owners Foundation has filed an amicus brief in this case which challenges the judicial balancing test that has been erroneously applied to the Second Amendment in numerous cases by the Ninth Circuit and other courts.
The brief concludes by challenging the Court to rule by the Constitution, and not a judge’s personal interpretation.

GOA remains strongly opposed to any regulations on the Honey Badger or any braced pistol, and we’re pushing legislation to remove SBRs from the NFA [[link removed]]. To learn more, please watch Alan’s interview with Guns & Gadgets [[link removed]].
