A group of over 50 YouTuber personalities, including myself, has sent a letter to Congress demanding that they counteract the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) pistol brace rule. The group is organized by Gun Owners of America (GOA) and calls itself the Second Amendment Action Alliance. The group has over 30 million combined followers. The letter was signed by some of the biggest stars in the gun world, including Jared Yanis from Guns and Gadgets, Tim Harmsen from the Military Arms Channel, and Eric Blandford of Iraqveteran8888. The YouTubers want Congress to take on the ever-growing power of the ATF, which is poised to make millions of Americans felons overnight once the new rule on pistol-stabilizing devices kicks in on June 1, 2023. The new regulation was made at the urging of the Biden Adistration and would reclassify almost all braced pistols as short-barreled rifles (SBR). Anyone caught with an unregistered SBR could […]

Dear Speaker McCarthy, Majority Leader Scalise, Whip Emmer, Minority Leader Jeffries, and Whip Clark, We, the undersigned members of the Second Amendment community, urge that Congress reject the arbitrary and tyrannical ban on up to 40 million lawfully owned pistols by the Biden Adistration. Congress must not sit on its hands while President Biden and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) actively usurps the lawmaking process to ban millions of firearms. Prior to the Biden Adistration, ATF issued numerous interpretive guidance letters approving pistol braced weapons for manufacture, sale, and possession without additional restrictions, such as federal gun registration and fingerprinting. For nearly a decade, gun stores sold braced pistols and law-abiding gun owners added them to their collections and home defense setups. Despite there being millions of braced pistols in common use around the country, there has been no statistically significant rise in violent crimes committed […]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 23, 2023 Washington, D.C. — Gun Owners of America (GOA) issued the following statements after the 5th Circuit Court partially enjoined the Biden Pistol Brace Ban this morning. GOA and the Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) had filed an amicus brief in Mock v. Garland, as well as filed their own challenge to the rule in conjunction with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a different federal court. “This is an encouraging step from the Fifth Circuit, and we hope that the judge in our own case will see this ruling and in turn grant a more robust injunction to relief the millions of Americans nationwide who may soon be in legal jeopardy,” said Erich Pratt, GOA’s Senior VP. “This is just the latest attempt by the Biden Adistration to weaponize federal agencies against the American people, and we will continue to stand in the way in defense of our rights.” “This injunction is welcome news, but […]

Some Representatives in the House are FURIOUS that Gun Owners of America has so many Americans up in arms demanding a vote on H.J. Res. 44 before June 1st. Along with the tens of thousands of letters sent by grassroots gun owners like YOU, we just spearheaded three industry coalition letters to House leadership. The first was from Second Amendment Action Alliance which is made up of YouTube influencers that represent over 30 million viewers and the other two letters represented both gun makers and gun dealers. All three letters urged Speaker McCarthy and other House leaders to pass H.J. Res. 44 and block Biden’s pistol ban BEFORE it goes into effect on June 1st. Since our pressure campaign is upsetting Representatives in the House so much, we know it’s working… This is not the first time Representatives have complained about GOA’s grassroots activists being so loud. Remember when anti-gun Rep. Sylvia […]

Located very close to lakes, stream and rivers, and in possession of some relic class fishing gear, fishing, in advance of going to work is a… thing. However, standing and fishing near deserted rural roadside, in today’s society, is less than exciting. My first line of defense against robbers, liars and thieves passing through Maine, has been my disheveled appearance, sweatsuit ensemble, and mass produced rod and reel. Unfortunately, crials are so dumb and desparate these days, they might not recognize a guy with $10 in his wallet, or not care. Maine has constitutional carry, and so I do. My backup CC is a Ruger 380 Max, carried in a Crossbreed SuperTuck® IWB Holster. A spare mag is carried in a N8 Tactical Magna-Clip, magnetic magazine carrier. I have had the holster for a long time and the carrier for a couple of weeks. The carrier secures a magazine with […]

On June 1st, the Biden Pistol Ban is set to go into effect. This rule, concocted by the bureaucrats at ATF, crializes ownership of an estimated 40 million firearms currently in possession by law-abiding citizens. According to the final rule, gun owners who possess braced firearms will have to destroy, reconfigure, register, and turn in their firearms to ATF, or face NFA violations which include $250,000 in fines and a hefty prison sentence. This rule will have some of the most wide-reaching impacts nationwide compared to other ATF adistrative rulemaking actions. In comparison, ATF’s bump stock rule was estimated to have affected 520,000 Americans, whereas this pistol brace ruling affects 80 times more law-abiding citizens. In response, the No Compromise Alliance sent a letter signed by notable firearms industry companies to Congress. Among the undersigned are notable firearms industry companies such as Rifle Dynamics, Kahr Arms Group, KCI USA, Tippmann Arms, and more. Additionally, two other letters were sent to Congress, […]

Most Americans are unaware that a new rule from President Biden’s ATF is less than two weeks away from turning millions of our fellow citizens into felons overnight. The new rule targets firearms that utilize a brace, commonly referred to as pistol braced firearms. Originally designed in 2012 to aid disabled veterans in shooting guns without assistance, these attachments quickly ballooned in popularity amongst firearms enthusiasts as a fun and interesting new way to use guns and target shoot. Let’s be clear, despite claims to the contrary, these braces do not enhance the rate of fire, lethality, or effectiveness of firearms in the hands of someone hellbent on taking innocent lives. While activists recite the extremely rare instance where a firearm used in a high-profile murder had one of these pieces of plastic added on, that does not mean that it emboldened or enhanced their ability to carry out their evil deed. So, […]

A battle-proven gun design and a Cold War classic, the 7.62×39mm chambered SKS rifle is familiar to many shooters, hunters, and gun collectors around the globe. Invented in the Soviet Union as a replacement for the Mosin Nagant, the Chinese would adopt the SKS in the mid-1950s and begin producing millions of their own SKS models for the next two decades. With their low-cost entry price point compared to other vintage surplus military arms, the SKS continues to find favor at Rock Island Auction Company. Below, we’ve assembled eight years’ worth of auction data to help collectors and gun consigners better gauge recent SKS price trends and values. Selling for $14,950 in 2018 at Rock Island Auction Company, this rare East German SKS rifle with 7th Army Vietnam War capture papers demonstrates that rare SKS rifles can achieve impressive results in the current gun collecting market.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 19, 2023 Washington, D.C. — Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) led two coalition letters from the Second Amendment Action Alliance and the No Compromise Alliance to Speaker McCarthy and other members of House leadership urging them to pass a resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act to block the Biden Pistol Brace Ban. The Second Amendment Action Alliance represents numerous online influencers with a combined following of over 30 million viewers. The No Compromise Alliance represents various members within the firearms trade industry. Notably, this is GOA’s largest industry coalition effort to date. The Biden Pistol Brace Ban will take full effect on June 1st, and owners of pistol braces have until that date to turn in, register, or destroy their lawfully owned braces. After that date, those in possession of an unregistered pistol brace could face felony charges and a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. Researchers […]

Let’s dive in and dissect the best silencers for the most popular handgun […]

Rep. Boebert Files Bill to Clean Up Pelosi’s Mess During the 117th Congress, Nancy Pelosi’s House massacred your Second Amendment rights by repeatedly passing unconstitutional gun control legislation. Gun Owners of America is committed to repealing these laws, and on Friday, we filed suit in federal court in the northern district of Texas. Our suit seeks to repeal the waiting period restrictions that passed as part of the Cornyn-Murphy infringements that became law last year. Thankfully, our new pro-gun House majority has the opportunity to repeal even more gun control and rectify the colossal mess that was left by the Pelosi Congress. I am happy to report that Rep. Lauren Boebert just introduced the Shall Not Be Infringed Act ( #H.R. 3212), which is a comprehensive repeal of EVERY Second Amendment infringement passed by the 117th Congress and signed by President Biden. That includes ALL gun control contained in the […]
