Gun Owners of America: What Every Second Amendment Supporter Should Know

Gun Owners of America: Standing Firm for the Second Amendment

From Maine’s attempts to redefine “machine guns” to California’s ammunition tax hikes, the nationwide assault on the Constitutional right to bear arms continues to escalate. To counter this attack on the Constitution, Second Amendment supporters must be as organized and vigilant as our opponents on the legislative front.

But while many gun rights organizations exist, not all are created equal. Gun Owners of America (GOA) stands out as a no-compromise voice that truly reflects the spirit of the Second Amendment. Here’s what every FourG Nation patriot should know about who GOA is, how it supports gun rights, and why it’s critical for Second Amendment supporters to stand together to defend our liberties.

Who Is Gun Owners of America?

Gun Owners of America was founded in 1976 by California state senator H.L. Richardson to stop a far-left campaign to ban handguns in California. Since its founding, GOA has distinguished itself by its “no-compromise” policy on gun rights, refusing to trade away gun rights for political gain, even when it means taking unpopular positions.

Viewing gun ownership as a freedom issue, GOA has spent decades building a national network of attorneys to fight court battles across the nation. GOA’s staff and attorneys work with Congress, state legislators, and local citizens to defend gun owners and the Second Amendment.

Why GOA Matters in Today’s Second Amendment Fight

In today’s political battlefield, Gun Owners of America stands on the front lines of the hottest recent gun rights debates. From battling bans on ghost guns, bump stocks, and magazines to resisting pushes for universal background checks and red flag laws, GOA takes a consistent stand against gun grabbers and for gun owners.

GOA protects gun rights through a combination of grassroots mobilization, legal action, and legislative pressure. Some recent GOA victories include the following: stopping the Biden Administration’s pistol brace ban, advancing Constitutional Carry in multiple states, overturning restrictions on veteran purchases of firearms, and securing compensation for targets of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms harassment.

The Power of Joining Like-Minded Patriots to Defend the Constitution

We encourage readers of FourG Media to join the GOA and other organizations that defend gun rights — not just as members, but as defenders of constitutional liberty. Strength comes in numbers. The more united we are, the harder we are to silence.

When we band together to defend liberty, we stand in the tradition of our Founding Fathers, who brought the Thirteen Colonies together to secure the rights enshrined in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. To retain those rights, we must join together in the same spirit to defend our liberties, or we will lose them. As Benjamin Franklin said after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, “We must all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

Why Supporting GOA Matters to FourG Nation

FourG Nation stands for God, Gas, Guns, & Glory, and protecting gun rights forms a cornerstone of this mission for good reason. Gun rights relate to the God-given sanctity of life and our sacred duty to protect our families, homes, and spiritual dignity.

The Constitution is premised on the natural right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness professed in the Declaration of Independence. The right to self-defense and defense of home and property follow from this foundational principle. Scripture sanctions this natural right in Exodus 22:2-3, which recognizes the right of homeowners to use lethal force when reasonably required to defend a household against thieves.

Without guarding this basic right to life, liberty, and property, all other rights fall undefended. Being able to defend what’s yours isn’t just a right; it’s a spiritual and patriotic duty.

This is why FourG Nation stands with groups like GOA that battle in the trenches of today’s fight for Constitutional liberty. We urge our readers to join with them in defending our republic and the Constitutional principles that define it.
