Gun Owners of America
Gun Owners of America (GOA) has advocated for the right to keep and bear arms without compromise for over 45 years. From the halls of Congress to state legislatures, GOA ensures that lawmakers understand what “shall not be infringed” means. Perhaps that’s why former anti-gun Senator Harry Reid said “GOA is even worse than bad.”www.gunowners.org

Dan WolginGUEST
One place that we've seen that a lot and more and more recently is in advocacy groups like the NRA, California Rifle Pistol Association.
Dan WolginGUEST
We were talking before this, the recent decisions related to NFA, which had Gun Owners of America and Texas State Rifle Association among other plaintiffs involved.
Dan WolginGUEST
and you look at that and you think about what they're doing, or even the commercial plaintiffs involved, you think about what they're doing and is it going to benefit them? Yeah, it'll probably benefit them.
Dan WolginGUEST
Gun Owners Association or Gunners of America, they're going to get more members because of this, but they're also bringing that freedom to everybody, whether ultimately in the end, as it shakes out, we'll see, but likely whether you're a member or not, Similarly for those commercial plaintiffs, are they going to benefit? Yeah.
Mike GaryHOST
And we'll be right back, you guys.
Mike GaryHOST
You're listening to the Second Amendment Report, powered by the Gun Owners of America, the GOAGunowners.org. A lot more to come.
Mike GaryHOST
Stay with us.

This is Gun Owners of America, the no-compromise voice for the Second Amendment.
speaker_2ADVERTISER
We don't beg for permission slips and so-called common-sense red-flag laws.
speaker_2ADVERTISER
We fight.
speaker_2ADVERTISER
GOA is in court right now fighting ATF overreach, pistol braces, forced reset triggers, microstamping, and every inch they try to take.
speaker_2ADVERTISER
We don't negotiate your rights away.
Sean HeronGUEST
You have to really focus on making sure that you see the stuff that you care about.
Sean HeronGUEST
And then at the same time, if you're an advocacy organization such as Gun Owners of America, Firearms Policy Coalition, Second Amendment Foundation, National Rifle Association, any of those, you are limited by what the platforms will actually let you say and limited by what the platforms will actually show people who may be interested in your a- In your marketing.
Sean HeronGUEST
Uh, but then they have email and text, and I'm gonna be honest, like, I don't wanna be emailed and texted.
Sean HeronGUEST
My email and text are, like, outrageous already.
Mark SmithGUEST
Because the big advantage, Don, that the other side has always had is they try to keep people ignorant about the value of firearms and your rights.
Mark SmithGUEST
And because of things like YouTube, because of things like Rumble, because of frankly things like the State of the Second podcast by the Gun Owners of America and the work that you do, John, this information is getting out to so many millions and millions of people on a daily basis that is really turning the gun experience, the right to bear arms experience into what I call a lived experience where people are living with guns every day.
Mark SmithGUEST
They're carrying guns every day.
Mark SmithGUEST
It is now part of their everyday life.

John FahrnerHOST
Why do you think this is happening now in history compared to other points in time as we have moved forward?
Mark SmithGUEST
I think if you want to pinpoint the two most important things that have allowed the Second Amendment to undergo a renaissance, it's the election of Donald Trump and his team, which includes the appointment of three Supreme Court justices, Justice Barrett, Justice Kavanaugh, Justice Gorsuch, and I think the rise of social media.
Mark SmithGUEST
Because up until the ability of Gun Owners of America to have your own YouTube channel, for the Four Boxes Diner to have a YouTube channel, to have YouTube and Rumble channels, to have people talking about guns and displaying body cam footage of police officers having to confront the wackadoodle dangerous people that are attacking them, all of this has changed people's perspective on crime.
Mark SmithGUEST
When you can actually look at body cam footage of a police officer being attacked by someone and you say, what if I were that person being attacked? I would want a gun.
David FettigGUEST
What's that? Is Rancott Keller in the chat?
Clay PedersonHOST
So I'm a member of Gun Owners of America.
Clay PedersonHOST
I also carry Second Amendment Foundation.
Clay PedersonHOST
I think they do a lot of great stuff.
Mark BoardmanHOST
You're also a lawyer.
Mark BoardmanHOST
Uh, you do some work with GOA, Gun Over- Gun Owners of America.
Mark BoardmanHOST
Uh, you work tightly with, with B&T.
Mark BoardmanHOST
Uh, a man of many hats and a man of much knowledge.

Evan WilsonGUEST
Where we fast-forward to January 1, Trump's big beautiful bill got rid of the two hundred dollars.
Evan WilsonGUEST
It did not remove the regulatory scheme, it did not remove any of the NFA, it didn't repeal it, didn't take it off the books, didn't null, void anything, didn't take away any of the form requirements or anything else.
Evan WilsonGUEST
It just said, "We're gonna take the two hundred dollars tax, go to zero." Well, that day, B&T USA, Silencer Co., Silencer Shop, Gun Owners of America, uh, Gun Rights, uh, I'm, I'm blanking on them, but PSA, primary or not primary, Palmetto State Armory, and several other plaintiffs filed a lawsuit that day said, "Nope, you can't have a tax registry that collects zero dollars.
Evan WilsonGUEST
It's not a tax then, it's just a registry." And that was in the Fifth Circuit.
Sean HeronHOST
The new director, Robert Cicada, disclosed that only 61 ATF NICS alerts remained active as of September 17th, but that's 61 infringements on gun owners that goes against the law, in my opinion, my very uneducated opinion.
Sean HeronHOST
GOA, Gun Owners of America, accused Cicada of making two false statements and three misleading statements about the program.
Sean HeronHOST
The organization said federal records uncovered thousands of past NICS monitoring alerts established by agencies including the U.S.
Sean HeronHOST
Marshal Service, Secret Service, and Army.
Rob ManessGUEST
at this point.
Rob ManessGUEST
And just, you know, one of the older ladies had a Gun Owners of America badge on.
Rob ManessGUEST
You don't see that amongst any group that's got any liberal links.
Rob ManessGUEST
No, you sure don't.
Rob ManessGUEST
At this point.
Rob ManessGUEST
And just, you know, one of the older ladies had a Gun Owners of America badge on.
Rob ManessGUEST
You don't see that amongst any group that's got any liberal links.
Rob ManessGUEST
No, you sure don't.
Tom GreshamHOST
