Gun Owners of America

Gun Owners of America (GOA) is a nonprofit advocacy organization in the United States that focuses on protecting the Second Amendment rights of gun owners. Founded in 1975, GOA aims to promote individual gun rights, oppose gun control legislation, and ensure that Americans can own and carry firearms. The organization engages in lobbying, public education, and grassroots activism to influence policies and legislation related to firearms. GOA is known for its strong stance against what it views as infringements on gun rights and often calls for more aggressive protections for gun ownership rights at local, state, and federal levels.
