When Your Governor Gets Rejected by the Courts

This video details a federal lawsuit filed by Gun Owners of America (GOA) and others against Illinois' restrictive firearm carry laws. The lawsuit challenges the state's refusal to recognize out-of-state permits and its stringent requirements for non-residents to obtain an Illinois carry license, arguing these measures violate Second Amendment rights as affirmed by Supreme Court rulings like Heller, McDonald, and Bruen. The case could significantly impact non-resident carry rights nationwide.

This video from Copper Jacket TV, hosted by Will, discusses the introduction of the National Constitutional Carry Act of 2026. The act, championed by Senator Mike Lee and endorsed by Gun Owners of America (GOA), aims to establish nationwide permitless carry by preempting state and local laws that restrict firearm possession and carry. The discussion highlights the potential impact on states with restrictive gun laws and emphasizes the importance of contacting legislators to support this legislation. The sponsor, Attorneys On Retainer (AOR), is also featured as a crucial component of a self-defense plan.

Gun Owners of America (GOA) has achieved a significant victory, effectively ending the "Veteran Gun Ban" which unfairly added veterans to the NICS prohibited person's list due to having a benefits fiduciary. This policy, originating from the Clinton administration, wrongly equated having a financial advisor with mental defectiveness, denying veterans their Second Amendment rights without due process. GOA's persistent advocacy, including working with Congress and leveraging legislative action like the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2024, has led to the VA ceasing this reporting and initiating the removal of improperly added veterans.

This video from Gun Owners of America (GOA) discusses concerns regarding Democrat-controlled states hiring illegal immigrants to enforce gun control laws.

GOA is advocating for the 'Stop Illegal Alien Cops Act' to prevent this practice.

This video discusses a significant victory for veterans' Second Amendment rights, spearheaded by Gun Owners of America (GOA). A new law enacted in 2024 prevents the VA from automatically referring individuals in the VA fiduciary program to the FBI's NICS system as prohibited persons.

This video from Gun Owners of America (GOA) critically examines the Biden administration's Department of Justice (DOJ) for its 'Zero Tolerance' policies. It highlights a perceived double standard where the DOJ settled immigration cases with the ACLU, barring policy reenactment for eight years and paying millions in fees, while refusing to settle with GOA on Second Amendment cases. The video details GOA's legal challenges against the DOJ's 'Zero Tolerance' policy targeting Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) for minor clerical errors, contrasting it with the immigration settlement.

Kirk emphasizes that while a legal right to self-defense against imminent threats of death or serious bodily harm exists, the decision to use lethal force, especially against law enforcement, involves significant tactical and legal considerations beyond mere legality. The discussion highlights foundational self-defense principles and specific legal doctrines like the Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground.

This video, featuring William Kirk of Washington Gun Law, details how sheriffs in Arkansas are pushing back against federal gun control measures, particularly the ATF's pistol brace rule. It highlights Arkansas Act 1012 and state code 21-1-904, which aim to prevent state and local officials from enforcing federal firearms regulations deemed unconstitutional infringements on Second Amendment rights. The Arkansas Sheriff's Association has officially stated their non-support for enforcing such rules, prioritizing focus on violent offenders.

William Kirk from Washington Gun Law clarifies that the ATF cannot demand inspection of non-NFA firearms without a warrant. While NFA ownership doesn't waive Fourth Amendment rights, FFLs are subject to annual inspections, a rule not applicable to private individuals. If ATF agents arrive without a warrant, consent is typically required, and politely declining is advised.
