Anti-Gunners Doubling Down on Gun Control in Wake of GOA Victory

Listen to the latest episode of GOA’s Podcast, “Controllers and Deceivers,” where Erich Pratt and Remso W. Martinez explode several anti-gun myths while exposing the true face of the gun controllers and dragging them into the light.

Here’s what you might’ve missed from GOA this week…

Dear friend,

Even though Congress is out of session, GOA is still busy working to empower you with the tools your need to protect the Second Amendment. 

Here’s three things you might’ve missed from GOA this week:

1. Episode Two of “Firing Back” is now live. The premiere episode of “Firing Back” soared to #55 on iTunes News & Politics, and we know the follow-up episode won’t disappoint. In the new episode, “The Root of It All,” GOA’s Erich Pratt and Remso W. Martinez delve into where the right to self-defense comes from and the consequences for ignoring those foundations.

Summer Travels Show the Need for Reciprocity

Dear friend,

With Congress out of session and summer winding down, I spent a few days traveling through the Northeast with my family.

We traveled from Virginia up I-95 through Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and New York City to attend a wedding in Connecticut, and then to the Adirondacks in upstate New York. 

But with each state we went through, besides the heinous traffic, there came different rules and regulations of how I can — or cannot — possess a firearm.

Even though I have a Virginia carry permit, my right to carry is not recognized in most northeastern states.

Unfortunately, this is the situation many gun owners face when they take a family road trip on summer vacations, and it highlights the need for concealed carry reciprocity. 

That’s why GOA made it a priority this year to get cosponsors and whip votes for H.R. 38, which would fix the concealed carry reciprocity mess.

And believe me, when we walk into a congressman’s office, they almost without exception mention that they’ve been hearing from GOA members in their district.

Even though there’s been a lot of resistance among congressional leaders, your hard work is starting to pay off.   

When Congress comes back into session this September, we expect H.R. 38 to move out of committee and to the floor for a vote in the House of Representatives.  

That’s great news for gun owners, but of course the other half of the battle is getting the bill through the Senate and overcoming a Chuck Schumer-led filibuster.

You’ll be hearing a lot more on that subject in future alerts.

Have you heard?

If you’re traveling in the final days of summer, I encourage you to listen to the second episode of GOA’s podcast, “Firing Back.”

In the first episode, GOA’s Erich Pratt and Remso W. Martinez exposed anti-gun hypocrites. That podcast soared to #55 on iTunes News & Politics in just the first twenty-fours. 

In the brand new second episode, Pratt and Martinez discuss the debate of where rights come from and uncover why the gun controllers want to mask the truth.

It’s available on SoundCloud, iTunes, YouTube, or the podcast platform of your choice.  

I hope you’ll check it out as it would make a great educational tool on a family road trip.
