Caution: GOA Issues Urgent Warning To Gun Owners

Published on March 27, 2026
Duration: 7:48

This video discusses an urgent warning issued by Gun Owners of America (GOA) regarding the Department of Justice's (DOJ) continued enforcement of regulations on firearms equipped with stabilizing braces. Despite a federal judge vacating the pistol brace ban, the ATF is reportedly still treating some brace-equipped pistols as Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs) under the National Firearms Act (NFA) and Gun Control Act (GCA), potentially leading to felony charges for law-abiding citizens. The GOA criticizes this stance as a contradiction to President Trump's campaign promises and urges the Trump administration to reaffirm the legality of all pistols with stabilizing braces.
