ATF’s New Rule On Universal Registration Checks Set To Take Full Advantage of Private Gun Owners

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains why the proposed rule could be a serious problem in the future.

by

Gun Owners of America Officially Endorse Jim Jordan As the New Speaker of the House

by

A New Report Reveals That “Blue Counties” Have Higher Homicide Rates Than “Red Counties” – Meaning That Gun Restriction Laws Just Aren’t Working

by

by

The spokesman for the Gun Owners of America explains why members of Congress need to act before Biden and his administration call for a public health emergency. Just mere days after Gov.

Right before the weekend, Biden established … Read more

Has New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham Gone Too Far With Her Gun Ban?

by

Even as she loosens her current restrictions, law enforcement veteran Michael Letts and Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford can’t help but wonder how far is too far.

Michelle Lujan Grisham filled a public health order that effectively banned the public carrying of firearms around the city of Albuquerque, with the exception of those involved with law enforcement. The sudden – and rash – decision has left … Read more

The Gun Owners of America Refuse To Stand By While New Mexico’s Governor Takes Away Its Citizens’ Gun Rights

by

Gavin Newsom’s Push For a 28th Amendment Could Work Against the Second Amendment – and Private Gun Owning Citizens

by

A Gun Trade Association Is Fighting Back Against a New Illinois Law That Restricts Gun Marketing (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

Are Anti-Gun Politicians Trying To Change the National Defense Authorization Act In Favor of the Biden Administration?

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains why private gun owners and Constitutional-Carry types should be concerned over the move.

The ATF Could Very Well Be Getting a Raise Following Its Push To Ban Pistols With Stabilizing Braces

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains why the ATF being rewarded for their efforts is a heavy concern.

States Are Continuing To Challenge the Supreme Court’s Gun Decision – But Why? (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

This has trickled down … Read more

The ATF and President Biden Have Put Private Gun Owners In a Tough Situation With Their Baseless Pistol Brace Rule (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains how the ruling could hurt a lot of citizens, even those that aren’t considered a threat.

With it, those that own said braces must officially register, or risk being considered a … Read more

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains why pot users should have just as much of a right to guns as other citizens.

Finally, A State Lawmaker Is Providing Support For Gun Shops and Their Owners – But Will Others Follow Suit? (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains why Alaska’s latest actions are important for gun shop owners, and private gun owners as well. It’s not that often that a state government goes out of its way to take care of gun shops and their owners, especially these days. So, when one actually does it, it’s worth noting. Alaska lawmakers recently passed legislation that will block state and local officials from closing gun stores during … Read more

Minnesota’s Restrictive Gun Laws Are the Wrong Way To Go When It Comes To Solving Violence (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

History Appears To Be Playing a Part In the Battle For Gun Rights (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

This Week Could Be Huge For North Carolina – and America – With the Passing of a Constitutional Carry Rule (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

A Federal Appeals Court Just Handed a Major Victory To Private Gun Owners Over the ATF’s Restrictions (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

by

The House Judiciary Committee Is Moving Forward With Its Disapproval Resolution On President Biden’s Ridiculous Gun Brace Rule (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

Victims and Hero of Sutherland Springs Shooting Disappointed With Government’s Settlement

by

Gun Owners of America’s Stephen Willeford doesn’t believe the victims or their families received what they truly deserved. While the Department of Justice is content with the resolution, some believe justice hasn’t truly been served when it comes to the victims of the 2017 Sutherland Springs church shooting.

A Missouri State Law That Declared Several Gun Laws As “Invalid” Has Been Overturned

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains why the overturning actually hurts gun owners more than one might think. Several of the United States have put their own interesting spin on “gun laws” into effect. However, Missouri’s take on disabling certain Federal gun laws was too much for one particular judge to bear. And it has left much room for debate. The law, deemed the Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA), had initially declared that … Read more

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford discusses the ridiculous law, which will soon be reviewed by the 2nd circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals.

New Mexico’s Potential Gun Ban Could Be Just As Big a Mistake As California’s (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford explains why the state shouldn’t be so hasty to ban guns. With the number of “active shooter” events taking place in the United States, some states are taking heavy measures in an effort to tone down the violence.

Is Florida’s Concealed-Carry Bill What It Says It Is? (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

Buffalo’s “First Of Its Kind” Lawsuit Is Ignoring the Real Problem (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

Gun Owners of America spokesman Stephen Willeford has his doubts about the Buffalo NY’s lawsuit against gun makers and sellers.
