I am so grateful for all your support and activism on behalf of Gun Owners of America's work on Capitol Hill.
GOA just forced President Biden to DEFUND the ATF by $122 million and to STOP enforcement of the veterans gun ban!!!
Yes, you read that right. This is a HUGE win for gun rights even though there is a Democrat in the White House and a Democratic majority in the Senate.
Backed by your barrage of emails and phone calls, GOA's team of federal lobbyists forced the House and Senate to pass language protecting veterans last year, and it was inserted into the government funding bill which just became law today.
For over 20 years, Veterans Affairs has been sending veterans' names to the NICS system, simply for having an advisor appointed to manage their finances. But the GOA-backed language prevents this from happening.
Anti-gunners are furious this ban has been defunded, and they're calling the veterans gun ban repeal a "poison pill." But they're just upset that GOA beat them in Congress.
GOA wants to thank our grassroots activists for taking action on our alerts especially at a time when the gun ban repeal language was getting watered down. Your loud voice, coupled with GOA's lobbying team on Capitol Hill, forced legislators to maintain the original repeal language that passed.
Thanks also to Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) who sponsored the amendment and fought to make sure the protection for veterans remained intact. And thanks to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) who fought to keep the $122 million cut to the ATF.
Another 2A victory from GOA.
