The Gun Owners of America (GOA) is a non-profit conservative gun rights lobbying organization based in Virgina and founded in 1975 by Senator H.L. Bill Richardson (now retired). GOA most consistently supports the right to bear arms (both for the individual citizen's self defense and for the Militia) under the Second Amendment, and related rights necessary to preserve the Second Amendment right, such as the First Amendment right of political free speech.

GOA is a national membership organization of 300,000 American patriots dedicated to protecting and defending their Second Amendment freedom to keep and bear arms.[1]

"GOA fought for and won, the right of gun owners to sue and recover damages from the federal government's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) for harassment and unlawful seizure of firearms.[2]

Quotes

Incremental Gun-Grabbing of the Nanny State

Liberals and socialists support "common sense" measures - a "good first step" of the Nanny State. To a citizen-prepper-patriot and to the Bill of Rights, this is "death by a thousand paper cuts".

This Second Amendment Foundation video is the formal response to Hollywood's Demand a Plan gun-grabbing propaganda video. The video shows one of the main differences between liberal gun control Nanny states (Blue states) and conservative and/or libertarian Second Amendment-supporting "free states" (Red states). This video shows why we vote with our feet:
