A spokesman for the group explains why this is a huge victory for the United States.
At a time when the situation called for it, private gun owners answered the call.
Thanks to the voting power of the American public, Donald Trump will once again return to the presidency, with several other pro-gun advocates following closely behind in their elective roles.
“Kamala Harris would have continued weaponizing the power of government against the Second Amendment rights of the People,” said Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President for Gun Owners of America.
“We’re thrilled to be charting a far different and brighter course with President Trump, who has promised to repeal the Biden-Harris infringements within his first week in office. Rather than going on defense, we’re already preparing to help the Trump Administration repeal gun control and restore Second Amendment rights.”
The election of these officials, along with the return of Trump, will help the GOA in pushing its ongoing No Compromise lobbying efforts, in an effort to protect private gun owners.
“With such a pro-gun mandate from the voters tonight, we’re ready to hold Republicans to their election promises to protect and restore gun rights,” said Aidan Johnston, GOA’s Director of Federal Affairs, in a statement. “It is time that Congress finally enact national concealed carry reciprocity, destroy the ATF’s illegal gun registry, de-regulate suppressors, and quit funding unconstitutional ‘red flag’ gun confiscation laws.”
A spokesman for the group joins us now to discuss this victory further.
Sam Parades is available to speak on this subject, serving as Executive Director of the Gun Owners of America.
Stephen Willeford, the 2017 “hero with a gun” who serves as the spokesman for the Gun Owners of America, is also available.
Q&A:
- What does Trump’s win for the Presidency say for the future of the United States of America?
- Why is this such good news for private gun owners? Mainly due to Biden’s previous push for an “assault weapons” ban? Or more than that?
- We also saw the re-election of several pro-gun advocates. What does this mean for GOA’s No Compromises initiative? Tell us more about it.
- What about those that would argue about the election being “unfair” and fearing that new gun initiatives would make them feel unsafe?
- FOR STEPHEN: You recently wrote a book called A Town Called Sutherland Springs: Faith and Heroism Through Tragedy, revolving around your 2017 “hero with a gun” situation. Tell us more about how this came together, and why it’s such an important read right now.
- FOR STEPHEN: Where can people find your book?
- Where can we learn more about you, as well as Gun Owners of America?
