California gun owners, get out and VOTE!

Sacramento politicians have spent years chipping away at our Second Amendment rights, and they’re showing no signs of slowing down. If we want to change the direction of this state, we need gun owners to show up and make their voices heard.

Every election matters, and sitting on the sidelines isn’t going to protect our rights. Do your homework, support candidates who stand for the Second Amendment, and make your vote count!

California’s gun owners have the power to help change the course of this state, but only if we show up. Make your voice heard and send Sacramento a message they can’t ignore!

🚨 MAJOR SECOND AMENDMENT VICTORY!

Today, ATF announced it will no longer enforce federal NFA registration and approval requirements for suppressors, short-barreled ri**es (SBRs), short-barreled sh****ns (SBSs), and Any Other Weapons (AOWs).

This victory began with Gun Owners of America! Following Congress’s reduction of the NFA’s $200 making and transfer taxes to $0, GOA, Gun Owners Foundation, and our partners filed the “One Big Beautiful Lawsuit,” challenging the constitutionality of maintaining federal registration requirements without the underlying tax. In August, a federal judge ruled in our favor, and today’s ATF guidance extends that relief nationwide through a new non-enforcement policy.

What does this mean for gun owners? The covered fi****ms and devices no longer require mandatory federal NFA registration or prior approval under ATF’s new policy. However, existing Gun Control Act requirements, including applicable background checks, remain in effect.

What about California? Unfortunately, California’s separate prohibitions on suppressors and short-barreled fi****ms remain in place. This announcement does NOT make those items generally legal to possess in California.

So why is this still a victory for Californians? Because removing federal regulatory barriers is an important step, even when state restrictions remain. California’s prohibitions must be addressed separately, but this development removes a major federal obstacle and creates a new legal landscape for future legislative and constitutional challenges. It does not, by itself, invalidate California law.

The fight for the Second Amendment continues, both nationally and right here in California! 🇺🇸

Because apparently regulating actual fi****ms wasn’t enough. Now a California congressman wants to bring BB guns into the federal fi****ms regulatory system and subject their purchases to background checks.

There is no finish line for gun control. Give them another inch, and they’ll find something else to regulate.

This is why GOA fights with NO COMPROMISE.

Compromise leads to proposals like this, becoming law.

TOMORROW: Congress has a chance to take on Gavin Newsom’s gun tax.

Since 2024, California gun owners have been hit with an additional 11% excise tax on fi****ms, am******on, and fi***rm precursor parts — part of what Gov. Gavin Newsom described as a “sin tax.”

Tomorrow, H.R. 2442 — the Freedom from Unfair Gun Taxes Act — comes before the House Judiciary Committee. The bill would prohibit state and local excise taxes on fi****ms, am******on, and their parts and components.

📞 CALL TODAY: (202) 225-6906

Tell the House Judiciary Committee to advance H.R. 2442.

Help us fight California’s tax on the exercise of your Second Amendment rights.

Make the call TODAY. Your rights shouldn’t come with an extra tax attached.

🚨 AB 2047 HAS PASSED THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE.

California lawmakers just approved a bill that could force government-mandated “fi***rm blocking technology” onto 3D printers sold in this state.

There’s just one problem: the technology they’re trying to mandate isn’t real.

3D-printing professionals, open-source advocates, manufacturers and other industry experts raised serious concerns about false positives, circumvention, intellectual property, privacy and the basic feasibility of forcing software to determine what someone intends to manufacture.

The opposition was substantial.

The warnings were clear.

Sacramento passed it anyway.

And perhaps the most unbelievable part?

AB 2047 was authored by Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan — the CHAIR of the Assembly Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee.

Think about that.

The legislator charged with overseeing privacy and protecting Californians in the digital world authored a bill that seeks to put government-mandated software between you and what you create on your own machine.

You cannot make this stuff up.

AB 2047 is headed to Governor Newsom.

GOC strongly urges the Governor to VETO AB 2047.

🚨 CALIFORNIA SENATE PASSES AB 2047

The California Senate has passed AB 2047, legislation targeting 3D-printed fi****ms by requiring 3D printers sold in California to incorporate “fi***rm blocking technology.”

The bill relies on software designed to evaluate 3D-printing files and determine whether they could produce a fi***rm or prohibited fi***rm part—and then prevent the print from proceeding. But that’s where the problem gets much bigger than guns: an algorithm can analyze geometry, but it cannot determine the intent behind why someone is making a part. The same shapes, components, and design characteristics can have completely legitimate applications in manufacturing, engineering, research, and even medical devices. The bill itself acknowledges the risk of false positives by requiring standards addressing files that could be wrongly identified.

That’s why opposition to AB 2047 has reached well beyond the Second Amendment community. 3D-printing companies, makers, technology advocates, and industries that depend on additive manufacturing have raised serious concerns about innovation, open-source technology, privacy, and legitimate designs being caught by government-mandated scanning systems.

AB 2047 was heavily amended in its final days—a sign that even its author understands how intrusive, unworkable, and difficult to defend this mandate is. And the hypocrisy is hard to miss: the bill’s author also chairs the Assembly Privacy Committee while advocating for government-approved software to be mandated and installed in privately owned 3D printers.

California doesn’t just want to regulate what you manufacture. It wants the technology inside your printer deciding whether you’re allowed to manufacture it.

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING. 👁️

And in California, that can mean inside your own home.

GOC, GOA, GOF, SAF and CRPA are plaintiffs in Richards v. Newsom, challenging California’s mandate requiring federally licensed fi***rm dealers — including home-based FFLs — to maintain video and audio surveillance.

A three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit ruled 2–1 against us, allowing California’s surveillance mandate to stand.

But Judge Kenneth Lee dissented, warning:

“The First Amendment shrivels under the constant surveillance of even a benevolent Big Brother.”

Judge Lee also warned that people are “wary of speaking freely if they know that they are being audiotaped,” especially when the government may later listen to those conversations.

Running a lawful business from your home should not require surrendering your privacy to government-mandated surveillance.

Your business. Your home. Your privacy.

This fight is far from over.
