    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    July 16, 2024
    Washington, D.C. — Gun Owners of America (GOA) spokesmen issued the following statements after news broke yesterday afternoon that Senator JD Vance of Ohio has been selected to be the Republican nominee for Vice President of the United States:
    “Senator Vance is a friend of the American gun owner, one who will fiercely defend our Second Amendment rights,” said Erich Pratt, GOA’s Senior VP. “We are thrilled with his selection and look forward to removing the anti-gunner-in-chief from the White House.”
    “Despite his short time in office, Senator Vance has maintained a perfect voting record where other Republican Senators have not. It’s clear how seriously Senator Vance treasures our Second Amendment rights,” said Aidan Johnston, GOA’s Director of Federal Affairs. “Whether it’s his support for abolishing the ATF, his commitment to destroying the federal gun registry, or his opposition to expanded background checks, our members can sleep soundly with his nomination for Vice President.”
    Senator Vance has a 100% voting scorecard from Gun Owners of America. More on his record below, where he has:

    • Vocally called for the abolishment of the ATF
    • Highlighted GOA’s research on the billion record ATF gun registry
    • Opposed the Biden Pistol Brace Ban
    • Opposed Senator Cornyn’s “Compromise” Gun Control Law
    • Opposed the VA submitting veterans’ names to the FBI background check system simply for having a fiduciary manage their complex VA benefits
    • Threatened major corporations with legislation to restrict anti-gun policies that harass or restrict individuals from purchasing firearms and ammunition
    GOA spokesmen are available for interviews. Gun Owners of America is a nonprofit grassroots lobbying organization dedicated to protecting the right to keep and bear arms without compromise. GOA represents over two million members and activists. For more information, visit GOA's Press Center.

    "Breaking"


    It was breaking when I first got the email and it remains so until everybody's got the message.

    There is a reason why I pay my dues and donate to the GOA. I have NOT seen the GOA make a bad call. NRA is a different story but the GOA is our equivalent of an instant global newswire of the telegraph era.

    Good for you I'm goa too.

    One of the attack vectors the media operatives use, is drama. All drama, all the time.

    Congrats on the email.
     
    Bet you a bumpstock that come November 6th we don't hear a single peep about anything gun related for the following 4 years. There will be some firebrand comments for the press and proletariat, plenty of 'THIS IS IT" from both sides, and the 2A remaining in it's current position of circling the drain with court rulings that are completely ignored and not enforced.

    This is a carbon copy of Don Jr beating the war drum with "THE 2A COALITION" and then vanishing into thin air.

    The fact that the 2A plank was dropped from the GOP platform at the convention this year says a lot. I really hope that was a head fake designed to put the dems to sleep. I guess we'll find out.
     
    How about we talk about great women with a great ass.....

    The jury is out on JD. Not on DJT. Time will tell.

    If you don't vote for Trump, that's fine, you deserve everything that will come your way.
     
    I live in one of Cincinnati's burbs. When people are having trouble with NFA items (taking a long time, etc...) the FFLs here usually tell them to contact JD Vance's office and things will typically be resolved more quickly for those people than for the ones who went through the local congressmen. He seems to be working for gun owners here, I have not heard anyone here say otherwise.

    “Brouther if Trump says we gotta ban guns, then their ain’t no questionen that”

    I don't think Trump is that stupid. He knows how many people own guns and how many are active voting Pro-2A. What I'm thinking is that he'd more likely just stay silent on the issue, as they did at the convention this year. Maybe they'll let the courts work things out, or maybe he'd veto any anti-2A legislation that gets to his desk. But he won't initiate any legislation (i.e. ban Red Flag laws, nationwide, etc.).

    That might be where JD comes in in 2028, unless it's DeSantis in 2028.

    Edit: Pres. Trump did state in the Michigan rally that he still has support for the 2nd amendment, just as he has stated in previous rallies.

    So, maybe there is some hope.
