Frequently Asked Questions

What policy changes does Gun Owners of America recommend for the Trump administration regarding violent crime?

GOA recommends scrapping the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, redirecting the DOJ to focus on actual criminals, passing national concealed carry reciprocity, and addressing the media's role in mass shootings by mitigating the contagion effect.

How can the Trump administration address violent crime without banning firearms, according to GOA?

GOA suggests focusing on prosecuting real criminals, empowering citizens with concealed carry reciprocity, arresting individuals who make true threats, and depoliticizing crime statistics. They argue that armed citizens deter crime and that focusing on gun bans distracts from root causes.

What is the 'media contagion effect' and how can it be mitigated?

The media contagion effect describes how mass shooters are motivated by the desire for fame. GOA suggests voluntary journalistic practices like withholding names and photos of perpetrators to deny them the notoriety they seek, thereby reducing copycat incidents.

Why does GOA advocate for restoring defensive gun use statistics?

GOA believes that restoring defensive gun use statistics, which they claim were censored by the Biden administration, is crucial. This data demonstrates the effectiveness of armed citizens in preventing crime and counters the narrative that more guns lead to more violence.
