Yesterday evening and this morning, we sent you two URGENT action alerts.
And you all responded marvelously.
The team here at GOA is so grateful for all of you who took action.
Your loud voice makes it known to legislators on Capitol Hill that people back at home are truly watching what they’re doing.
Yesterday our team in Washington, D.C., learned that anti-gunners in the Senate were trying to pass Universal Background Checks without a single senator voting.
So-called Universal Background Checks are only enforceable if the government has a registry to check if a gun belongs to a gun owner—so GOA kicked our grassroots activists into action right away.
GOA immediately began encouraging Senators to place “holds” on the UBC bill the anti-gunners had “hotlined.”
These holds are usually not made public, but you can always reach out to your Senator and find out if they helped defend your rights.
Blocked from their first attempt to pass gun control without a vote last night, they attempted it with another parliamentary trick again this afternoon—this time on the Senate floor.
After the Senate finished the majority of its legislative business and the Senators began to head back to their offices, anti-gun Senator Chris Murphy asked the Senate to pass H.R. 8—the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021 with “Unanimous Consent.”I’m on the floor today to ask for Unanimous Consent from my colleagues to proceed to HR 8, the House-passed bipartisan comprehensive background check bill,” Sen.

I’m with you!
Thank you! Wow, we almost lost a major battle in the war to remain free a little longer.
I had no idea this was going on.
Where is the NRA?................crickets.............
There are still some commies in the congresd that need to be put on trial for treason
Same here until mid-afternoon today. I spotted an email alert from VCDL.org and starting researching. Found the most informative info at GOA and now I'm signed up for their email alerts, as well.
We missed the big one this time! Thank you, Jesus! (And Grassley)
Heads up, RKBA ping. Thanks!
thank God for GOA. money well spent.
The Dims try this unanimous consent procedure regularly. That’s why their needs to be a Designated objector in the House and Senate any time they are in session. MGT regularly stands to object in the House.

Re a little dramatic:
No, brother… you’re not being dramatic at all.
You’re spot-on.
Jeeze! That was close. Serious wtf moment.
