GOA and GOF Appeal California’s Orwellian Surveillance Law to Ninth Circuit

Washington, D.C. – Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) have filed their opening brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, challenging California’s sweeping surveillance mandate on firearm dealers. This appeal is part of the ongoing case against Cal. Penal Code Section 26806, which forces all FFLs—including home-based dealers—to install 24/7 video and audio recording systems to surveil customers, and then retain that data for warrantless inspection by the state.

The law effectively turns lawful dealers into unpaid government agents, violating First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendment rights by chilling speech and association, imposing unlawful searches, and commandeering private property without compensation or cause. Read more

Game-Changing Ammo Weight Reduction for Black Hawk Missions

Lighter, smarter ammunition increases payload efficiency and firepower by up to 24 percent.

Shell Shock Technologies, LLC. (SST), a leading innovator in the ammunition industry, is proud to share new analysis demonstrating a major operational advantage for Black Hawk helicopter missions using its NAS3 casings and lightweight ammo belt links. The data reveals that replacing traditional brass-cased ammo with SST’s innovative NAS3 casings can reduce the ammo load weight by nearly 300 lbs. – or enable U.S. and allied forces to carry thousands of additional rounds without exceeding payload limits.

According to a recently released analyst report, the standard ammo loadout for a Black Hawk helicopter includes approximately 7,000 rounds of 7.62mm and 1,200 rounds of .50 caliber ammunition. When loaded with traditional brass and standard M13 links, the combined weight is roughly 1,022 lbs. SST’s lightweight solution cuts that to 723 lbs. – a 299 lb. reduction. Read more

GOA Mobilizes Members to Support DOJ Rule Restoring Gun Rights for Non-Violent Offenders

Owners of America (GOA) called on its members and supporters nationwide to take immediate action in support of a proposed rule by the Trump Department of Justice that would restore Second Amendment rights to countless Americans unjustly barred under the decades-old “Schumer Amendment.”

Enacted in 1992, the Schumer Amendment defunded the only federal process available (other than an unlikely pardon) to federally restore firearm rights, effectively imposing a lifetime ban on gun ownership for individuals with certain non-violent convictions or temporary mental health commitments—even if such persons pose no ongoing threat and have long since been rehabilitated. For over 30 years, this provision blocked the ATF from processing any rights restoration requests, denying due process and violating the constitutional rights of countless Americans.

Now, for the first time in over three decades, the DOJ promulgated a rule that would reassign the authority to restore gun rights away from the ATF and back to the Attorney General and Department of Justice.

GOA, Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), the Tennessee Firearms Association (TFA), and the Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition (FRAC) submitted a joint comment which outlines the legal foundation for restoring rights, noting the following: Read more

Food Plots on a Dime

The whitetail deer is the most popular game animal in the US, so it should be no surprise hunters spend plentiful time and money throughout the year on whitetail related matters. Firearm and archery equipment, treestands and blinds, optics, and of course clothing specifically engineered for hunting deer are all investments hunters justify annually, which is easy to do considering how technological advancements have tilted the advantage to hunters like no other time in history.
