GOA Fighting Gun Control Attacks at Home and from Abroad

Dear Don,

I want to bring you up to date with some of the important battles that Gun Owners of America is fighting right now.


We are still awaiting a decision on GOA’s court case involving bump stocks.

We had hoped to get a decision by last week. But since we have not, GOA today filed an emergency petition and motion in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.



In it, we are asking the Court of Appeals to order the district court to halt ATF's regulation until the court issues its decision on our pending motion.

Also, we separately asked the Court of Appeals to stay the regulation until any appeal is heard -- a stay that could hopefully last weeks or months while we make our case as to why the ATF ban is illegal.

You can read an analysis of the hearing that took place earlier this month before the district court here.

As you will remember, this is a very important case since it will ultimately protect us from seeing a future president use these regs to ban AR-15s.

We will keep you updated over the next week with progress reports on these latest efforts by GOA’s legal team.

P.S. The GOA lawsuit in the Sixth Circuit is becoming quite expensive, with all the additional motions we are filing. To help support our case, please click here.

I've done the same. GOA will be henceforth getting what little assistance I can provide, along with the VCDL.

GOA is good people. They get that the 2nd Amendment has already been circumvented with laws on the books, and any more is unacceptable.

I used my bump stock exactly once for a three round burst, but it will piss me off to my very core if I have to saw it into pieces. I am really hoping for an injunction.

I see parallels between the bump stock ban here and what's happening in New Zealand. In both cases, the constituency (ownership) of the banned items was small in comparison to both the gun-owning public and the population as a whole. The lesson is that if you want to prevent something from being banned, make sure it has as wide an ownership as possible. People's vested interests speak louder than anything. Bump stocks were a very niche product. Nothing like AR-15's.

''The lesson is that if you want to prevent something from being banned...''

Let us lay the responsibility squarely where it belongs, on the shoulders of Chris & Wayne who green-lighted all of this with their quick react knee jerk statements. Knowing good & well, that future enemies are lining up to use the exact same EO, just change a few words, to delete future items. Or, If not knowing good & well, that itself epitomizes generalized incompetency and should be subject to internal discipline, reduction of pay or position. A soap sales company where a high ranking staffer ''gave part of the farm away'' to a competitor would fair worse.


Here endeth the lesson.

Time for another "revolt in Cincinnati." The NRA needs a thorough housecleaning. Unfortunately, the current management has stacked the deck to make it virtually impossible to ever happen.

What the hell, why not. It's been 42 years. Cincinnati City Council should be happy to see them since they are fresh on the heals of a defeat in court on their own bump stock ban. How Ironic. https://www.buckeyefirearms.org/buc...battle-against-cincinnati-over-bump-stock-ban

That link takes me to “Gun Owners Foundation” is that the correct place to donate? I was expecting it to be GOA. Just want to be sure before I make a donation.

Thanks, Dan
