As we begin 2026, I want to take a moment to thank you — because last year, GOA didn’t just fight… we won.
With your support, GOA secured three major victories that will protect the Second Amendment for generations to come:
GOA’s Top 3 Legislative Victories In 2025
1️⃣ NFA Tax Crushed
GOA worked closely with Rep. Andrew Clyde to eliminate the $200 NFA tax on suppressors, SBRs, and AOWs.
With the help of our members, GOA pushed the “One Big Beautiful Bill” through Congress, securing this massive victory. We are now in court with industry partners, fighting to remove these items from the NFA entirely.
2️⃣ ATF-DEA Merger Thwarted
GOA worked with allies in Congress to kill the DOJ’s dangerous plan to merge the ATF and DEA into a “super-agency,” which would have tripled ATF’s budget, empowered future anti-gun administrations to target gun owners, let Big Pharma sway enforcement priorities, and weakened oversight of ATF leadership.
3️⃣ GOA Blocks Bans Across States
GOA’s lobbying team successfully worked to repeal Wyoming’s gun-free zones law, restoring carry rights in schools, public buildings, and the state capitol. In Pennsylvania, GOA helped block a slate of Bloomberg-backed gun control bills from passing. And in one locality in the Keystone State, GOA members defeated a proposal to ban homemade firearms and restrict 3D printing, which resulted in one councilmember crediting the flood of calls and emails from gun owners as a decisive factor in stopping the ordinance.
These aren’t just political wins. They are real victories for freedom… and they were only made possible because gun owners across America refused to back down.
But the fight is far from over. Anti-gun politicians are already rewriting their playbook for 2026, and the media is preparing to help them. If we want to continue blocking their agenda and advancing ours, we must stay on offense.
That’s why I’m asking you today: Will you chip in a donation to help GOA continue defending the Second Amendment?
Your support fuels our legal battles, supports our lobbying muscle, and amplifies the voices of millions of gun owners nationwide.
This year proved something important: When GOA fights, we win.
Now let’s build on those victories.
Please donate today and help us stand ready for the next fight.
