Gun Owners Win Tremendous Victory in Massachusetts Election!

Thanks to the support of millions of concerned Americans, including many GOA members, Republican State Senator Scott Brown shocked the political world and cruised to victory in the bluest of blue states.  This crucial election could spell the end of the anti-gun ObamaCare bill.

Gun Owners of America, the fist national gun rights organization to support Scott Brown, would like to thank all GOA members who answered the call to action and got involved in this race with their time and generous contributions. Congratulations on a tremendous victory!

The Advancing Wave

In perilous times, great men share their wisdom. Words from the past give us clues to the present, and more importantly, hope for the future. Robert E. Lee once said:

The truth is this: The March of Providence is so slow and our desires so impatient; the work of progress is so immense and our means of aiding it so feeble; the life of humanity is so long and that of the individual so brief, that we often see only the ebb of the advancing wave and are discouraged. It is history that teaches us hope.

The Senate's 2,074-page health care bill doesn't mention guns, but some gun owners are worried certain provisions could eventually be used to discourage or even restrict gun ownership as part of a government effort to influence behavior as it broadens its control over the health care system.

The day before the Senate passed the $848 billion health bill on a party-line vote, the Virginia-based Gun Owners of America sent out a mass alert to its 300,000 members, warning them that the legislation "will most likely dump your gun-related health data into a government database. ... This includes any firearms-related information your doctor has gleaned or any determination of post traumatic stress disorder or something similar, that can preclude you from owning firearms."

As White House talks turkey on health care ...
GOA Responds to administration attacks

November 25, 2009

The White House is pulling out all the stops to pass ObamaCare, including an attack on Gun Owners of America and the Second Amendment.

Unable to pass a bill that is openly hostile to millions of gun owners, the President and his anti-gun allies are forced to try to attack us through deception. [Continue reading]

Dismantling America, piece by piece
By Thomas Sowell
Wednesday, October 28, 2009

Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many "czars" appointed by the president, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent?

Did you think that another "czar" would be talking about restricting talk radio? That there would be plans afloat to subsidize newspapers - that is, to create a situation where some newspapers' survival would depend on the government liking what they publish?  [Continue reading]

“Americans should not have their Second Amendment rights restricted for any reason, particularly if they choose to travel on America’s federally subsidized rail line,” said Sen. Wicker. [Read More]

Years ago, GOA's Founder and Chairman H.L. "Bill" Richardson wrote a book entitled, What Makes You Think We Read the Bills?  As a former state senator, Richardson knew of the antics and dirty tricks that go on in our legislatures across the country.

Today, Americans are beginning to demand that their legislators read the bills.  But despite the appeals to do so, some legislators -- like Democrat Rep. John Conyers of Michigan -- are digging in their heels.

Take a look at this video and see for yourself.

In What Makes You Think We Read the Bills, you'll be both amused and outraged at Sen. Richardson's tales of the day to day shenanigans in your state and national capitols.

Does your legislator suddenly stop being your representative?  He's just suffered Peer-Group Shift (see Chapter 12).  Does the majority elect? (find the answer in Chapter 18).  There are wildly funny chapters -- Ze Mooz (4), Burros and the Pill (9), Gangrene and the Board of Education (16) -- as well as plenty of straight talk about how and why our legislators are no longer ours.

Throughout, Sen. Richardson's breezy text is the underlying theme that "this can't go on much longer, enough is enough!"  He offers many thoughtful reflections on why our legislatures have gone off the tracks, and scores of helpful suggestions how to put things right.
