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 […]

); The bill that we have alerted our Minnesota members about twice, SF 2909, has passed both chambers and is heading to the desk of Governor Walz. And in true anti-gun fashion gun control is hidden within a massive piece of legislation! As a reder, SF 2909 is an enormous omnibus bill with gun control hidden inside. This bill contains Universal Background Checks and Red Flag Gun Confiscation Orders! Both pieces of gun control will do nothing to stop crials, but they will harm law-abiding gun owners by delaying, or denying your right to keep and bear arms while also eviscerating due process! With the anti-gun Democrats […]

A “no compromise” gun rights group is suing the Biden adistration over part of the bipartisan gun safety law enacted last summer, arguing that the law imposes unconstitutional waiting periods to purchase firearms on young adults under 21. Senior Vice President, Erich Pratt, shoots a rifle at a range. GOA argues that “de facto” waiting periods created by the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act are unconstitutional. (Gun Owners of America) Gun Owners of America (GOA) on Friday filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of Texas challenging enhanced background check requirements established by the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act last year. The lawsuit names Attorney General Merrick Garland and the FBI as defendants and argues that new requirements for the National Instant Crial Background Check system to review juvenile records for adults aged 18-20 create a “de facto” waiting period that violates their Second Amendment rights. That bipartisan gun control law, spearheaded by Sens. […]
You’re our only hope of stopping Joe Biden from turning millions of law-abiding felons into gun owners overnight. As you may recall, the House Judiciary Committee approved a Joint Resolution of Disapproval last month H. J. Res. 44 that REPEALS Biden’s tyrannical pistol ban. It’s currently poised to come to the floor for a vote in the House over the next week or so. But there’s a big problem… We’ve identified several allegedly “pro-gun” Representatives who are currently on the fence about whether or not they’ll support H.J. Res. 44 when it comes before the chamber. With a razor-thin conservative majority in the House, losing even a few of these squishy Republicans would be enough to completely torpedo this critical bill. That’s why GOA is spending tens of thousands of dollars running ads that generate phone calls to the offices of these cowardly fence-sitters so we can secure […]
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 12, 2023 Washington, D.C. — Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) filed a federal lawsuit in the Northern District of Texas, challenging the Department of Justice’s de facto waiting periods for NICS background checks on adults who are not yet 21. This new policy is a result of the Cornyn-Murphy gun control package passed last summer, which now imposes unconstitutional waiting periods on young adults. A NICS background check for these individuals now requires a review of juvenile justice records, state mental health records, and those from local law enforcement where the buyer resides. This review is in addition to those records aly held by the FBI NICS System, and because those state and local agencies are not equipped or prepared to provide this information in a timely manner, young gun buyers are simply forced to wait with no recourse, […]
Each period in American history has its classic firearms: the colonial era has the iconic Brown Bess and Charleville muskets, the early national period has the golden age American longrifles and dueling pistols, the Civil War had the Henry lever action and Berdan Sharps among others, the Wild West had Colt Single Action Army revolvers and Winchester Model 1873s — you get the picture. The 1830s to 1850s during the exploration of the West and conflicts in the new territories had one rifle more famous than the rest: the St. Louis Hawken rifle built by the Hawken brothers. Lot 245 is a classic American longrifle by Samuel St. Clair of Snyder County and Juniata County, Pennsylvania. Classic longrifles like this continued to be manufactured alongside half-stock rifles during the 19th century, but over time, half-stock rifles became more popular. Other members of the Hawken family, including Samuel and Jacob’s brother […]

For the majority of human history, wars were fought only on the ground. The outbreak of WW1 led to martial innovation on a scale never before seen. Technological advancements of the early 1900’s saw troops fighting in a previously unheard of field of combat: the skies. Pilots of the Aeronautique Militaire, United States Army Air Service, and the Deutsche Luftstreitkräfte among others took to the air to fight on behalf of their respective nations in WW1. These aerial WW1 artifacts are cut-away segments of aircraft canvas. At the center is a cross insignia used by the German Luftstreitkraefte in WW1 and appears to be from a downed Albatross D. III biplane. At war’s end, it was apparent that aerial combat would not be a fleeting trend but would be a major part of warfare. The interwar years saw great progress in technologies both military and civilian, and aeronautic advancement was […]

); The anti-gunners in the Vermont Senate has recently passed H 230 a bill that infringes upon your Second Amendment rights!
