This is the most expansive view of federal power since FDR

I’m furious, and you should be too, John.



The Trump Administration’s Department of Justice, under Attorney General Pam
Bondi, has just stabbed gun owners in the back. In response to GOA’s One, Big,
Beautiful lawsuit, the DOJ is not only defending the unconstitutional NFA.
They’re taking it to a whole new level.



The DOJ told the courts that the federal government can register your
firearms under the “Necessary and Proper” and “Commerce” Clauses. They claim
that the NFA’s $0 tax is STILL a “valid” tax, giving Washington a blank check
to resurrect gun bans and registrations at the stroke of a pen.



Think about what’s happening here. Bondi’s DOJ is arguing that the “Necessary
and Proper Clause” empowers Congress “to make all Laws which shall be necessary
and proper for carrying into execution” federal gun control laws. They even
insist that Congress has “broad authority to enact federal legislation” like
the NFA’s gun registration scheme.



So the Government essentially says that—because of the Necessary and Proper
Clause—there’s virtually no limit to what infringements Congress can pass. What?



Those words are a blank check for anti-gun officials and judges to decide that
anyfirearm they dislike can be banned. They even say the federal government can
ban firearms that are “particularly dangerous” and “uniquely susceptible” to
misuse by violent criminals.



Really? Then what about handguns, which are the number one type of firearm
used in crime? Can those be banned, too?



This is not the rule of law. This is judicial tyranny.



And as you can see, we’re in a battle for the soul of the Second Amendment.
If Bondi’s DOJ gets away with this,nothing will be off-limits.

FIGHT BACK NOW

Bondi’s DOJ is trying to get our case thrown out by claiming the outcome is so
obvious that no further proceedings are necessary. Well, we fiercly disagree.
We’re ready for a prolonged battle—and we’re confident we’ll come out on top.


John, GOA’s legal fight is far from over. We’re mobilizing and preparing to
challenge Bondi in court, but we need your help to fund our legal efforts.Can I
count on you to rush an urgent donation today?
