Our message to ATF was simple: "This [proposed rule] has squandered a perfect opportunity to deliver one of President Trump’s most repeated campaign promises to gun owners. Rather than ‘rip up and tear out’ the previous administration’s 'disaster,' the [rule] only makes it worse. ATF must [reject] the Biden Rule and its legal theories. Gun owners expect no less."

President Trump promised to "rip up and tear out" the Biden-era pistol brace rule. But ATF's new proposal replaces one vague standard with another instead of giving gun owners the clarity they deserve. GOA just submitted comments urging ATF to permanently reject the Biden rule.

Millions of gun owners aren't registered to vote, and millions more don't consistently cast a ballot. Voter apathy is a threat to the Second Amendment and every gun owner should understand what's at stake heading into the midterm elections.

"GOA tore into the ATF over a proposed rule targeting the retention of firearms sales records." "The pro-Second Amendment group felt that keeping the records for as much as 60 years was outrageous." -@RealGunLobbyist, GOA's Director of Federal Affairs.

There’s a lot of panic in the 2A community about this ATF rule on eZ Check “going down” that I would like to address. ⤵️ ATF ran this as a “Direct to Final Rule” which ignores the Notice and Comment requirements of the Administrative Procedures Act. This means, it is guaranteed to be struck down in court IF CHALLENGED. That’s the key though, if no one challenges it, then the rule can be finalized and the defect in process can cure. Here, the gun grabbers made one comment against the rule. So the standard operating procedure for an agency is to withdraw the Direct to Final Rule. Next, they will re-issue the rule with a proper notice and comment period—that way it will survive scrutiny under the APA. Remember: failure to follow the APA process can get a whole rule stuck down. That’s what happened with the Biden Pistol Brace ban. Probably, ATF lawyers underestimated that the anti-gunners are as awful and anti-gun as they are. They thought “surely no one will oppose helping FFLs transfer firearms in a more modern and efficient manner.” But it turns out, the gun control lobby is more villainous than expected and opposed the rule anyway. So if the gun grabbers “won” anything at all, it’s just a minor delay. TL;DR don’t sweat it, the rule is likely just fine and coming back soon. Here’s a legal source confirming what I’m saying.

In the direct final rule entitled, “Licensee “eZ Check” Verification for Transfers” ATF stated that if significant adverse comments were received by June 5 the rule would not take effect, and ATF would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. ATF has subsequently received significant adverse comments on this direct final rule and is therefore withdrawing the rule. Effective July 6, 2026, direct final rule 1140-AA61 that was published on May 6, 2026, is withdrawn. #NewEra

🚨BREAKING🚨 The 7th Circuit just reversed GOA's win in our challenge to Illinois' assault weapon and magazine ban. Claiming that "the Act ... imposes a limited burden on the right of armed self-defense." Which is DEFINITELY not interest balancing, says the 7th circuit.

GOA is proud to be fighting one of several ongoing legal battles to protect gun owners from tyrannical "assault weapons" bans.   We hope that the Supreme Court will take up our case, FFLs of Illinois v. Pritzker, the next time we petition for certiorari.

The court justified Illinois' magazine ban by arguing "those engaged in self-defense fire only 2.2 rounds on average." The Second Amendment doesn't just protect the average gunfight. It protects your right to survive the worst one.

As @GunOwners' FL State Director and @Fuerza2A's National Co-Chair, I'm proud to endorse @GovGoneWild for Florida Chief Financial Officer. Blaise Ingoglia is a true Second Amendment champion. In 2018, when many folded after Parkland, he stood firm & voted against gun control.

This isn't just about Illinois. What the Supreme Court decides could determine the future of firearm bans across the country.

Biden's ATF weaponized the definition of "willfully" to drive gun stores out of business. ATF is now redefining what a "willful" violation is. But the proposed rule is not enough. GOA submitted comments urging ATF to strengthen the rule and protect FFLs from future abuse.

Hemani made clear that the government cannot use drug-related conduct as a blank check to strip peaceable citizens of their 2A rights. Pennsylvania’s lifetime carry ban ignores that ruling. GOA and GOF filed suit, and we’ll keep you updated as the case moves forward.

🚨BREAKING🚨 GOF & @GunOwners just filed a federal lawsuit challenging Pennsylvania’s lifetime carry ban for peaceable citizens with minor drug misdemeanors. Pennsylvania cannot permanently deny carry rights to otherwise eligible gun owners.
