A spokesman for the Gun Owners of America speaks about the forthcoming show’s latest additions, and why it shouldn’t be missed.
This year’s Gun Owners Advocacy and Leadership Summit (or G.O.A.L.S.) continues to grow. Set to take place on August 9th and 10th at the Knoxville Convention Center in Tennessee, the event will packed with a number of high-profile guests. And that isn’t stopping its organizers, the Gun Owners of America, from bringing on more.
Nationally renowned commentator and best-selling author Liz Wheeler is set to speak at the event. She noted,“It’s my privilege to speak at the GOALS Summit in August in Knoxville, Tennessee. Gun Owners of America is a critical and powerful voice in defense of our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, without which all of our other rights become obsolete. I’m excited to speak about America First and how the survival of our republic depends on our right to defense of person, property, and liberty.”
In addition, a special 2A Action Alliance Panel will take place, featuring high-profile creators like Liberty Doll, Shawn Herrin (We Like Shooting), Last American Outlaw, Print Shoot Repeat, and Johnny B. Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of Gun Owners of America, noted, “This panel represents the cultural front of the Second Amendment fight. These voices are pushing back against digital censorship, mobilizing the next generation of patriots, and proving that activism doesn’t stop at the ballot box—it thrives in every upload, share, and call to action.”
Other guests are set to attend as well, with the full list available here.
