Your Vote Counts—Or Does It?
Originally published in the Houston Courant. Gun owners care about who wins the next election: we want officeholders who will protect our rights.

Originally published in the Houston Courant. One hundred years ago this week, women’s right to vote was recognized in the United States.

Kamala Harris is the Gun Owner’s Worst Nightmare
Originally published in the Houston Courant. Kamala Harris is the gun owner’s worst nightmare.

How Will Texas Stop the Threat?

GOA Texas: Victory or Death
As goes Texas, so goes the nation. Texas is a battleground state, and it’s no secret that Michael Bloomberg and his allies want to claim it as a prize this November.

Gun Control Sneaks by Lackadaisical Republicans
Originally published in the Houston Courant. House Republicans were asleep at the wheel this week and missed a major piece of gun control legislation buried deep in the original text of H.R. 6395, a $740.5 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on Tuesday—legislation they had unanimously voted out of committee.

Don’t Tread On Me: New Gun Owners Will Change the Political Landscape
Gun sales are at an all-time high—and it’s no wonder, considering current events. Americans have always known that our gun ownership keeps us protected.
