Washington, D.C. – Today, Gun Owners of America sent a grassroots coalition letter to Congressional leadership urging action on the Biden Pistol Brace Ban. The letter was signed by 6,721 servicemen and veterans, as pistol braces were first designed to allow disabled American veterans in shooting firearms without assistance.

In addition, the National Defense Committee, a veteran’s service organization focusing on veterans’ civil rights, led another letter that was also addressed to Congressional leadership demanding similar action. This letter was signed by over a dozen different veteran service organizations.

Majority Leader Scalise and Representative Andrew Clyde also joined Gun Owners of America in announcing a vote on H.J. Res. 44 in the House of Representatives next week.

Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of Gun Owners of America, issued the following statement:       

“GOA is incredibly supportive of this effort by Majority Leader Scalise to vote on Rep. Clyde’s bill to block the draconian Biden Pistol Brace Rule. ATF far exceeded their authority with this rulemaking, and it’s critical that Congress send this message to the president and the Courts. Otherwise, Biden’s ATF will continue to weaponize the outdated National Firearms Act to arbitrarily change definitions and attack supporters of the Second Amendment.”
