Over the prior four Wyoming Legislative Sessions, GOA has worked with strong Second Amendment supporters to pass some of America’s best Second Amendment legislation.

Because of these efforts, Wyoming now has the Nation’s strongest criminal Second Amendment Protection Act to reduce local cooperation with federal gun control, and Wyoming has strong laws that stop local governments from having gun control.

Furthermore, after passing the bill two straight years (it was vetoed by the Governor in 2024), in 2025, Wyoming successfully repealed most “Gun-Free” zones in critical places like government buildings and schools.

Wyoming now stands among America’s top states when it comes to Second Amendment Rights, but there’s still room to improve.

This year, Gun Owners of America has teamed up with pro-Second Amendment Legislators to bring at least 5 important bills that will strengthen and/or enhance the important work we have already accomplished.

This includes bills to enhance the Second Amendment Protection Act, protect financial privacy for people purchasing firearms and ammunition, lower the required age to 18 for concealed carry permits, and enhance protections for citizens who regrettably are forced to use self-defense under Wyoming’s Stand Your Ground Law.

The Wyoming Legislature convenes on February 9, so we will be providing more information about these bills in the coming days and weeks.

For now, please click on the attached links and ask your Representative and Senator to support these common sense measures.

Together, we can make Wyoming America’s #1 state for Second Amendment Rights if we pass GOA’s 2026 Wyoming Legislative Agenda.

Stay tuned for more information very soon.

P.S. Please be sure to contact your Legislators and encourage them to support GOA-backed, pro-Second Amendment bills this Legislative Session.

In a major development today, HB 1793 has successfully passed in the New Hampshire House. The House Finance Committee Chair has waived further hearings, clearing the path for this vital Second Amendment legislation to move directly to the State Senate.

This bill is a top priority for lawful gun owners as it seeks to dismantle dangerous “gun-free zones” on public campuses and ensure that law-abiding students and faculty can exercise their right to self-defense.

What HB 1793 Delivers

• Eliminates Campus Carry Bans: Stops public colleges and universities from enforcing policies that disarm law-abiding citizens.
• Protects All Self-Defense Tools: Ensures students can carry firearms as well as non-lethal options like tasers and pepper spray.
• Enforcement with Teeth: Includes a $10,000 statutory damage provision against institutions that continue to infringe on student rights.

Next Step

The bill is now heading to the New Hampshire State Senate.

Last week, GOA spokesmen ventured into the belly of the beast… confronting legacy media on their home turf, unequivocally defending your right to peacefully protest while armed.

Suddenly, traditionally anti-gun media outlets began professing support for the Second Amendment—not out of conviction, but to weaponize the issue against their political opponents.

GOA cut through the spin by speaking plainly and telling the truth.

Hypocritical anti-gun politicians, desperate for a moment in the spotlight, have even attempted to appear “pro-gun” citing the Second Amendment during speeches in Congress.

Bottom Line: You can peacefully protest while armed, full stop.

But make no mistake: the anti-gun political behemoth will stop at nothing to undermine and abolish the Second Amendment, even feigning support when necessary.

Gun Owners of America is calling on these two-faced politicians to stand by their newfound Second Amendment support by halting their attempts to restrict the rights of law-abiding gun owners.

In these pivotal times, it’s more important than ever to donate to Gun Owners of America.

We’re standing up to defend your freedoms against any and all odds. We’re lobbying at the White House; on Capitol Hill and we’re fighting in the courts to expand the Second Amendment each and every day.

We’re committed to holding officials on Capitol Hill accountable, so that we can restore the Second Amendment with no compromises whatsoever.

What: Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) filed its opening brief with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in Elite Precision Customs v. ATF, which challenges the federal laws prohibiting licensed firearm dealers from selling handguns to out-of-state buyers. FPC filed its appeal after the district court wrongly upheld the ban.

Gun Owners of America to Host Arizona Freedom Festival 2026 in Glendale

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 3, 2026

Glendale, AZ – Gun Owners of America (GOA) proudly announces the Arizona Freedom Festival 2026 is taking place on March 28, 2026, at the Glendale Civic Center East Parking Lot in Glendale, Arizona.

This outdoor festival will bring together freedom-loving Americans from across the Southwest to celebrate the Second Amendment, the outdoor lifestyle, and the enduring values of liberty.

Arizona Freedom Fest 2026 will feature a diverse lineup of vendors showcasing firearms, accessories, vehicles, and survival gear, alongside Second Amendment advocacy organizations and freedom-focused nonprofits from across the region. The event will also include an Overland Vehicle and Motorcycle Exhibit, featuring a curated display of vehicles, with selected winners announced during the festival.

Designed as a family-friendly event, Arizona Freedom Fest will include a kids’ zone, food trucks, and an outdoor, festival-style atmosphere centered on community, freedom, and civic engagement.

Additional advocates and leaders dedicated to protecting constitutional freedoms will also be announced.

Arizona Freedom Fest reflects GOA’s continued commitment to defending the right to keep and bear arms while engaging supporters through education, outreach, and community-driven events.

GOA spokesmen are available for interviews.

Gun owners never thought they’d see the day, but Chuck Schumer just declared that “the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

Yes, you read that right. The same Chuck Schumer who’s spent decades trying to gut our Second Amendment just admitted what we’ve been saying all along.

So let’s hold him to it.

Right now, as Congress negotiates the next round of government funding, there’s a narrow window to include the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act.

Our rights don’t end at state borders. If Schumer truly believes “shall not be infringed,” then he should support nationwide reciprocity for law-abiding gun owners.

Here’s the reality: In just two weeks, DHS funding expires, and both parties are scrambling for concessions. Democrats want due process protections and body cameras for immigration enforcement. Republicans are pushing for the SAVE Act and election integrity measures.

This is our moment to demand that concealed carry reciprocity be included in the deal.

Send your pre-written letter to your Senators NOW, before this opportunity slips away. We have provided different messages for Democrat and Republican Senators.

Gun Owners of America has been fighting for reciprocity for years. We’ve seen it pass the House before, only to die in the Senate. But with Schumer’s own words echoing in our ears, we have the ammunition we need to push this across the finish line.

Now it’s tell to tell your senator:

• Constitutional rights shouldn’t stop at state lines
• Law-abiding gun owners deserve equal treatment nationwide
• Senator Schumer himself just affirmed our “shall not be infringed” rights

The anti-gun Democrats in Harrisburg have quietly slipped through HB 1909, a bill that weaponizes Pennsylvania’s Protection From Abuse (PFA) orders to strip citizens of their firearm rights — even when guns aren’t involved. The House floor vote will likely occur early next week.

If this bill passes, PFAs — orders often entered ex parte with only one party present before a judge — would trigger automatic criminal penalty enhancements for certain offenses.

That means things like simple harassment, disorderly conduct, or reckless behavior alleged to have occurred “during the violation” of a PFA could be upgraded to higher-level misdemeanors or felonies simply because a PFA exists, regardless of whether a firearm or violence was involved.

These upgraded convictions can then:

• Result in automatic loss of firearm rights under Pennsylvania law, and
• Qualify as federal “misdemeanor crimes of domestic violence” (MCDV) — triggering lifetime federal gun bans with no restoration process under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(9).

Make no mistake — this bill isn’t about serious violence, it’s about turning PFAs into a backdoor mechanism for gun prohibition. A civil protective order would become the predicate for enhanced criminal penalties and permanent gun rights loss.

Gun owners across Pennsylvania should not be silent on this legislation. If you value your rights, now is the time to take action.

That’s why I need you to contact your State Representative today (by using the form above) and urge them to oppose HB 1909. Let them know you will not stand for legislation that uses PFAs to strip away your constitutional rights.

I am reaching out to you today because two Texas House races in Bexar County will play a major role in determining the future of the Second Amendment in Texas.

Gun Owners of America Texas is proud to endorse Rep. Tony Dorazio (HD-122) and Rep. Marc LaHood (HD-121) — two proven, principled leaders who have demonstrated they will stand firm against gun control and fight for your rights in Austin.

Both Rep. Dorazio and Rep. LaHood hold A+ ratings from Gun Owners of America and have actively sponsored GOA-supported legislation to protect and expand the right to keep and bear arms.

These districts are among the most competitive Republican-held seats in Texas. Both are being aggressively targeted by the left, and both will likely be decided by narrow margins. The outcome of these races could directly impact whether we maintain a pro-Second Amendment majority in the Texas House going into the next legislative session.

We need your help to ensure both of these races end in victory.

One of the best ways to get involved is to meet these candidates in person. Both Rep. Dorazio and Rep. LaHood are expected to attend GOA Texas Guns & Roses, our Valentine’s Range Day series featuring training, fellowship, and some of Texas’ strongest pro-Second Amendment leaders.

Get your tickets here: GOA Guns and Roses

Non Shooters welcomed!

Guns & Roses is a great opportunity to meet Rep. Dorazio, Rep. LaHood, and other GOA-endorsed candidates, connect with fellow GOA members, and show visible grassroots support for the leaders fighting for your rights.

Show up and vote early and on Election Day.

The left knows Texas is the last line of defense for the Second Amendment — and they are pouring resources into flipping seats like these. We cannot afford to lose ground.

With your support, we can keep Texas strong, free, and firmly pro-Second Amendment.

This is the final reminder for the Special Election in Texas Senate District 9 — and your vote will directly impact the future of your rights and freedoms.

Special elections are decided by turnout. In races like this, a very small number of votes can determine the outcome.

Gun Owners of America Texas proudly endorses Leigh Wambsganss for SD 9 because she has a proven record of standing up for:

• The Second Amendment
• Individual liberty
• Texas families and constitutional government

During the 89th Texas Legislative Session, Leigh Wambsganss stood shoulder-to-shoulder with GOA Texas to advance and defend key pro–Second Amendment legislation. Her leadership helped stop harmful policies and protect the rights of law-abiding Texans.

Gun Owners of America does not pass legislation alone. We depend on strong allies in the Texas Senate who are willing to stand firm, push pro–Second Amendment bills, and block bad policy. Leigh Wambsganss has proven she is that ally — someone GOA can count on when it matters most.

Her opponent supports policies that would expand government power and undermine constitutional freedoms.

This election will shape:

• The future of gun rights in Texas
• How much control government has over your life
• Whether Texas moves toward freedom — or away from it

What: Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court in United States v. Hemani, which challenges the federal ban on gun possession by marijuana users. FPC’s brief argues that the court does not need to decide the Second Amendment issue in this case because Congress lacks the Article I authority to enact the ban in the first place.

What: The federal government has filed an amicus brief with the First Circuit Court of Appeals in support of Firearms Policy Coalition’s (FPC) Granata v. Campbell lawsuit, which challenges Massachusetts’s ban on modern, constitutionally protected handguns. FPC’s appeal in this case was filed after the district court upheld the ban.
