Missouri AG Turned FBI Co-Chief puts Second Amendment First
A strong advocate of the Second Amendment has just joined one of the biggest justice departments in the United States!
Gun Owners of America has praised the appointment of Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to the Co-Director position of the FBI. Bailey previously spoke at the group’s GOALS conference, standing firm on his beliefs in the Second Amendment and everyone’s right to bear arms.
With Bailey’s appointment alongside Director Kash Patel, the group believes that his addition “will be instrumental in ensuring the agency’s resources are not weaponized against peaceful American citizens.”
Tim Macy, who serves as Chairman for Gun Owners of America, noted, “Attorney General Andrew Bailey has consistently stood with GOA and GOF in challenging government infringements on the Second Amendment. We are excited to see a proven ally who shares our No Compromise mission take on an active role in President Trump’s second term.”
A spokesman for the group – either Mark Jones or Stephen Willeford – joins us now to discuss the appointment further. We welcome them to the show!
