Frequently Asked Questions

What is Gun Owners of America (GOA) and what is their mission?

Gun Owners of America (GOA) is described as the 'only no compromised gun rights organization' dedicated to protecting the Second Amendment. Their mission is to restore the Second Amendment to its original intent as envisioned by the founding fathers, aiming to eventually 'put ourselves out of a business' by achieving this goal.

When and where is the GOA Convention taking place?

The GOA Convention is scheduled to take place in Knoxville, Tennessee, from August 7th to August 10th. The main convention for the general public will be held on August 9th and 10th, marking the second year for this event.

What is the current status of suppressors regarding the NFA and what is GOA doing?

Suppressors are currently regulated under the NFA but now have a $0 tax stamp. GOA has filed a lawsuit to remove suppressors entirely from the NFA, citing previous court rulings that recognize them as protected by the Second Amendment.

How can individuals get involved in advocating for Second Amendment rights?

Individuals can get involved by contacting their senators and congressmen, participating in state lobby days, building a community of like-minded individuals, and engaging politely in conversations about the Second Amendment. Resources like GOA's website offer tools to easily contact legislators.

Why is it important to support local FFLs in the firearms industry?

Local FFLs are considered the 'lifeblood' of the firearms industry. Supporting them through purchases helps keep them in business, ensuring access to firearms and ammunition, especially in rural areas, and preventing the industry from being dominated by large retailers.
