PRESS RELEASE FROM THE GUN OWNERS OF AMERICA JUNE 12, 2024
SUMMARY:
* The Biden administration on May 20, 2024 had rammed in a highly illegal executive order which places ALL gun owners under the 'dealer' banner if they even want to sell one firearm from their personal collections, essentially requiring everyone to become FFL holders and conduct background checks to engage in private trade.
* Two months before the order was even to take place, the Biden administration's weaponized ATF already began it's systematic harassment of private gun sellers, culminating in the raid and assassination of Bryan Malinowski.
* GOA Temporary Restraining Order against Biden and ATF applies to ALL GOA members, members of the Tennessee Firearms Association, and the Virginia Citizens Defense League. Tennessee and VA gun owners, be sure to also support your state firearms organizations. The TFA and VCDL are also frontliners alongside GOA in the neverending fight to protect RKBA.
* Order also applies to residents of Texas, Utah, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 12, 2024
Washington, D.C. — Late yesterday, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) helped secure a preliminary injunction against Biden’s Universal Registration Check rule, which could require any person who sells just one gun in a year to obtain a Federal Firearms License and conduct background checks. Under the judge’s order, the ATF may not enforce the new rule against members of GOA, the Tennessee Firearms Association, the Virginia Citizens Defense League, and residents of the States of Texas, Utah, Mississippi, and Louisiana. The original rule took effect on May 20th, but GOA helped previously secure a partial Temporary Restraining Order blocking its enforcement against our members and certain other plaintiffs.
Erich Pratt, GOA’s Senior Vice President, issued the following statement:
“This is a massive victory for our members, and it comes at a crucial time. Before the rule even took effect, the ATF was involved in an early morning raid in Arkansas on a citizen’s home who was accused of not abiding by these rules, and ultimately, he ended up being killed. This Administration’s ceaseless aggression towards gun owners has already turned deadly, and the enforcement of this rule would have inevitably led to more unnecessary bloodshed. GOA and our valued partners will continue to fight back against this lawless and tyrannical administration.”
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.
