Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Coronavirus pandemic affecting gun rights?

The pandemic has led to the suspension of concealed carry permit processing and significant delays or shutdowns of NICS background checks. Some politicians are also using it as an excuse to ban gun and ammunition sales, prompting legal action and advocacy.

What is Gun Owners of America's proposed solution to these issues?

GOA advocates for Constitutional Carry, which allows citizens to carry firearms without government permission or screening. They also support reciprocity legislation to ensure lawful gun owners can carry across state lines.

What is HR 5717 and why is GOA opposing it?

HR 5717 is a broad gun control bill that includes measures like gun owner licensing, a national registry, bans on certain semi-automatic firearms and standard capacity magazines, and red flag confiscation orders. GOA strongly opposes it as a massive infringement on rights.

What is concealed carry reciprocity legislation?

Reciprocity legislation, like HR 38, allows individuals with a concealed carry permit from one state to carry a concealed firearm in other states. Some versions also allow permits from any state to be valid in the permit holder's home state.
