Gun Owners of America (GOA) announced that it’s holding its inaugural Gun Owners Advocacy and Leadership Summit (G.O.A.L.S.) on August 16, 2024 in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Pro-Second Amendment insiders believe that G.O.A.L.S. is projected to draw tens of thousands of attendees. G.O.A.L.S. will feature an industry expo for gun retailers and manufacturers, on top of other actors in the firearms industry.
GOA indicated that G.O.A.L.S. “will feature speeches from leaders in the gun rights movement, educational panels, meet and greet sessions, and musical performances from major artists,” an email statement announced.
GOA Executive Director Erich Pratt offered his take on the summit, noting that the 2024 presidential elections will have major implications for the Second Amendment:
With gun owners, manufacturers, and dealers facing ever-growing pressure and outright hostility from so many anti-gun forces today, this election is, without a doubt, going to be the most critical in history for Second Amendment rights. With that in mind, our goal is to make this the premiere event, bringing together Second Amendment enthusiasts and advocates as we prepare for the political fight of our lives this November. I can’t wait to reveal more details as we lock in speakers and other guests of honor.
“Our greater GOA community is battle-tested and laser-focused on our no-compromise mission, and attendees can expect to leave G.O.A.L.S. energized and ready to make an impact on the serious challenges facing our Second Amendment,” Gun Owners of America’s Kailey Nieman continued. “This conference will be a major springboard for our organization and the greater community as we head into November.”
For decades, GOA has been one of the most consistent defenders of the Second Amendment. Unlike establishment gun lobbies, GOA is ready to confront all forms of gun control and even downsize the gun control regulatory state.
This will be no easy political feat. It’s good that GOA is organizing a summit of this nature that promotes more networking among the Second Amendment community. To defeat Gun Control Inc, gun rights activists will have to share best political practices and increase cooperation among each other.
Battling alone is simply suicidal at this juncture.
