The new @ATFHQ rule to create backdoor Universal Registration Checks is FULL of severely unconstitutional infringements.

This rogue agency is being empowered by a rogue executive branch who flat out hates gun owners.

Here's what we found so far.⤵️ The original rumors of the rule suggested anyone who sold five or more firearms could have to register as an FFL and conduct background checks, however the official released version says selling even ONE FIREARM without a license would be illegal.🤯 Image

📣 We found the #guncontrol in the Senate National Defense Authorization Act of 2024! #NDAA

Anti-gunners are trying to amend the bill to reauthorize the Undetectable Firearms Act ⤵️ Image BACKGROUND: The Undetectable Firearms Act, was passed in 1988 in response to no particular threat and has been useless during its 35 years of existence. 🙄

However, it affects every polymer firearm and does pose a threat to gun owners legally owned firearms.

🚨BREAKING🚨

@ATFHQ systemically committed financial crimes & used taxpayer dollars to pad the salaries of AT LEAST 108 bureaucrats.

Meanwhile, @JoeBiden wants to INCREASE the agency's funding to over $1.9 BILLION.

#DefundTheATF Image According to @nbcchicago, ATF illegally overpaid up to $20 million to agents & investigators ONLY between 2016-2021.

@ATFHQ's whole budget is a waste! 👏

President Biden (@POTUS) announced an executive order to implement backdoor universal background registration checks (UBCs) WITHOUT CONGRESS OR A NEW LAW. 😠

This is a direct violation of the Constitution & will do NOTHING to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals. Data shows that a majority of denied NICS background checks are FALSE POSITIVES.

But yeah, let’s do MORE background checks through a failed and failing system and delay law abiding citizens access to firearms. Government logic. 🙄

GOA leaked @ATFHQ's internal guidelines with @foxnews that shows the agency is unfairly targeting federal firearms licensees. This policy is known as the "zero tolerance" policy, and it is shutting down gun stores left and right. The policy says the ATF "has zero tolerance for willful violations that greatly affect public safety and ATF’s ability to trace firearms recovered in violent crimes," and that "revocation" of the FFL’s license "is the assumed action" with first-time violations.

Our members asked, and GOA and @GunFoundation DELIVERED! 👋

Our lawsuit against @ATFHQ has officially been filed, and we are gearing up to fight this draconian law alongside @KenPaxtonTX. "Millions of Americans are facing a very tight deadline to destroy or register their lawfully owned property under this draconian new rule. We hope the court will hear the pleas of gun owners across the country who will be irrevocably harmed by this rule." @erichmpratt

Tonight, @JoeBiden will be delivering the #StateOfTheUnionAddress. He will try & frame gun owners as problematic & firearms as more than tools of self-defense. He will try & frame gun control as a win, but we know better & GOA will fight every gun control proposal Biden proposes. @JoeBiden .@JoeBiden starts his #StateOfTheUnionAddress by thanking @LeaderMcConnell for their "bipartisan victories," AKA the gun control McConnell helped get passed. 🙄

Your options?
❌Register it
❌Destroy it
❌Turn it in These were banned.

GOA has come out strong against the Illegal Alien NICS Alert Act and for good reason. 
 
This bill would NOT reduce violent crime or fix any border issues—this bill is simply an expansion of a broken, unconstitutional system. GOA will stand opposed to any attempt at expanding the NICS system because it simply doesn't work. 9 out of 10 denials are FALSE positives because the system mismatches law-abiding citizens with the records of convicted felons who share similar things like names and birthdays.

We need all hands-on deck in our fight against the Biden Pistol Brace Ban. 👏 Even if you never owned one, or have no intention of owning one, do not miss the fact if they get away with this, millions of Patriots will become felons and they’ll have the green light to go after more guns.

Victory for GOA members: Judge Suddaby strikes down the tyranny of New York state’s anti-concealed carry law as #unconstitutional under the #SecondAmendment! Court strikes down “the provision requiring ‘good moral character’” to get government permission to carry a firearm in public for self-defense

Earlier this week, John Lott Jr. and the @CrimeResearch1 released eye-opening data that is SIGNIFICANTLY different than the data we've been getting from the @FBI. 👀 CPRC data shows 34.4% of active shooters were stopped by armed citizens. But FBI data for the same time only shows 4.4%.

Last week GOA announced we were working with Senator Marshall and Representative Clyde on the SHORT Act.👏

Today, we're breaking down what the SHORT Act does, why we need it, and how it limits the anti-gun agenda of the Biden Administration. This bill will remove SBRs, SBSs, and AOWs from the NFA.

GOA and @GunFoundation got an AMAZING victory today!

We defeated the majority of the UNCONSTITUTIONAL concealed carry restrictions implemented by New York’s anti-gun governor, @GovKathyHochul.

Uphold the 2A or GOA & the courts will make you! Image The federal judge ruled that NY’s law placed too many restrictions on what is an inherent RIGHT and forced law-abiding citizens to request permission to defend themselves. Image

ICYMI: The FBI has been utilizing a secret, unauthorized form to potentially pressure citizens into giving up their right to own or purchase firearms. Gun Owners of America found out about these gross violations of Americans' Second Amendment rights and sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray demanding answers for their unconstitutional actions.

ICYMI: The Biden Admin and the ATF are attempting to force gun owners into registering any firearms with a brace WITH an NFA Form 1. Faced with jailtime of up to 10 years & a $250k fine, these gun owners will have to submit all their info to the gov including their name, SS Number, address, phone number, email, credit card number, & fingerprints as well as the make, model, and serial number of their firearm.

ICYMI: @POTUS hosted a press conference in PA to talk about "Reducing Gun Violence." As usual he rambled about deer in kevlar and needing F-15s while advocating for the disarmament of millions of Americans. Biden: "I'm determined to ban assault weapons in this country!"

Also Biden: "It's not about taking away anyone's guns. In fact, we should be treating responsible gun owners as examples of how every gun owner should behave."

Ok. So why are you trying to disarm us?
