PFA Expansion Vote on House Floor Early Next Week

The anti-gun Democrats in Harrisburg have quietly slipped through HB 1909, a bill that weaponizes Pennsylvania’s Protection From Abuse (PFA) orders to strip citizens of their firearm rights — even when guns aren’t involved. The House floor vote will likely occur early next week.

If this bill passes, PFAs — orders often entered ex parte with only one party present before a judge — would trigger automatic criminal penalty enhancements for certain offenses.

That means things like simple harassment, disorderly conduct, or reckless behavior alleged to have occurred “during the violation” of a PFA could be upgraded to higher-level misdemeanors or felonies simply because a PFA exists, regardless of whether a firearm or violence was involved.

These upgraded convictions can then:

• Result in automatic loss of firearm rights under Pennsylvania law, and
• Qualify as federal “misdemeanor crimes of domestic violence” (MCDV) — triggering lifetime federal gun bans with no restoration process under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(9).

Make no mistake — this bill isn’t about serious violence, it’s about turning PFAs into a backdoor mechanism for gun prohibition. A civil protective order would become the predicate for enhanced criminal penalties and permanent gun rights loss.

Gun owners across Pennsylvania should not be silent on this legislation. If you value your rights, now is the time to take action.

That’s why I need you to contact your State Representative today (by using the form above) and urge them to oppose HB 1909. Let them know you will not stand for legislation that uses PFAs to strip away your constitutional rights.

I am reaching out to you today because two Texas House races in Bexar County will play a major role in determining the future of the Second Amendment in Texas.

Gun Owners of America Texas is proud to endorse Rep. Tony Dorazio (HD-122) and Rep. Marc LaHood (HD-121) — two proven, principled leaders who have demonstrated they will stand firm against gun control and fight for your rights in Austin.

Both Rep. Dorazio and Rep. LaHood hold A+ ratings from Gun Owners of America and have actively sponsored GOA-supported legislation to protect and expand the right to keep and bear arms.

These districts are among the most competitive Republican-held seats in Texas. Both are being aggressively targeted by the left, and both will likely be decided by narrow margins. The outcome of these races could directly impact whether we maintain a pro-Second Amendment majority in the Texas House going into the next legislative session.

We need your help to ensure both of these races end in victory.

One of the best ways to get involved is to meet these candidates in person. Both Rep. Dorazio and Rep. LaHood are expected to attend GOA Texas Guns & Roses, our Valentine’s Range Day series featuring training, fellowship, and some of Texas’ strongest pro-Second Amendment leaders.

Get your tickets here: GOA Guns and Roses

Non Shooters welcomed!

Guns & Roses is a great opportunity to meet Rep. Dorazio, Rep. LaHood, and other GOA-endorsed candidates, connect with fellow GOA members, and show visible grassroots support for the leaders fighting for your rights.

Show up and vote early and on Election Day.

The left knows Texas is the last line of defense for the Second Amendment — and they are pouring resources into flipping seats like these. We cannot afford to lose ground.

With your support, we can keep Texas strong, free, and firmly pro-Second Amendment.

This is the final reminder for the Special Election in Texas Senate District 9 — and your vote will directly impact the future of your rights and freedoms.

Special elections are decided by turnout. In races like this, a very small number of votes can determine the outcome.

Gun Owners of America Texas proudly endorses Leigh Wambsganss for SD 9 because she has a proven record of standing up for:

• The Second Amendment
• Individual liberty
• Texas families and constitutional government

During the 89th Texas Legislative Session, Leigh Wambsganss stood shoulder-to-shoulder with GOA Texas to advance and defend key pro–Second Amendment legislation. Her leadership helped stop harmful policies and protect the rights of law-abiding Texans.

Gun Owners of America does not pass legislation alone. We depend on strong allies in the Texas Senate who are willing to stand firm, push pro–Second Amendment bills, and block bad policy. Leigh Wambsganss has proven she is that ally — someone GOA can count on when it matters most.

Her opponent supports policies that would expand government power and undermine constitutional freedoms.

This election will shape:

• The future of gun rights in Texas
• How much control government has over your life
• Whether Texas moves toward freedom — or away from it

Backdoor Gun Control Pushed by PA House Democrats

The anti-gun Democrats are at it again! They are pushing a bill that will be heard in the House Judiciary Committee tomorrow that will create backdoor gun control.

HB 2018 (Hanbridge) creates a “Domestic Violence Fatality Review Board” that expands information-sharing authority among law enforcement, courts, and a new review board. This bill creates a centralized data-analysis apparatus that can later be use to argue:

• That “system failures” include lack of gun confiscation
• That background checks are insufficient
• That PFA firearm surrender rules should be expanded
• That Red Flag Gun Confiscation Orders are “necessary”

HB 2018 also allows review teams and the Board to recommend “changes in legislation, regulations, and policies.” These reports will almost certainly:

• Frame firearms access as a “risk factor”
• Promote Red Flag Gun Confiscation laws
• Advocate for mandatory gun seizure upon allegation, not convictions
• Recommend expansion of prohibited-person categories

Friend, this bill is a disaster for your God-given rights.

And you can be sure that “The Domestic Violence Fatality Review Board” will recreate the classic pipeline of data collection–>narrative framing–>legislative pressure–>more gun control.

That’s why I need you to send a message (by using the form above) to your state representative right away, urging them to vote OPPOSE HB 2018. Let them know you oppose backdoor gun control.
