Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main concerns regarding the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and gun rights?

Gun Owners of America (GOA) expresses concern that the VAWA legislation contains anti-gun provisions disguised as measures to end violence against women. These include potential ATF expansion, criminal investigations into firearm purchase denials, and deputizing local law enforcement, which GOA argues could disarm law-abiding citizens.

How is the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) being used to advance gun control?

The VAWA bill's title is designed to be politically advantageous, making it difficult to oppose. GOA states that the Biden administration is 'shoehorning in' gun control measures by attaching them to this popular bill, knowing that members of Congress may be hesitant to vote against legislation aimed at protecting women.

What specific gun control measures are included in the current VAWA proposal?

The current VAWA proposal includes provisions that would allow the ATF to work with local law enforcement on criminal investigations into firearm purchase denials. Additionally, it proposes deputizing local law enforcement and attorneys to act as agents of the ATF, which GOA views as a significant expansion of federal power.

What action is Gun Owners of America (GOA) urging citizens to take regarding VAWA?

GOA is urging citizens to contact their senators and demand that the gun control provisions be removed from the VAWA bill. They provide an action alert with tailored messages for different political parties to help constituents effectively communicate their opposition to these measures.
