Montana, which significantly expands law enforcement's ability to enter homes without a warrant under the 'community caretaking' and 'emergency aid' exceptions.

GOA is actively fighting against such infringements on constitutional rights.

Gun Owners of America (GOA) has achieved a significant victory, effectively ending the "Veteran Gun Ban" which unfairly added veterans to the NICS prohibited person's list due to having a benefits fiduciary. This policy, originating from the Clinton administration, wrongly equated having a financial advisor with mental defectiveness, denying veterans their Second Amendment rights without due process. GOA's persistent advocacy, including working with Congress and leveraging legislative action like the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2024, has led to the VA ceasing this reporting and initiating the removal of improperly added veterans.
