Gun Owners of America (GOA) applauded the nomination of Kash Patel for Director of the FBI. Mr. Patel, who was a speaker at GOA’s inaugural GOALS conference in Knoxville this past August, is fiercely pro-gun and a staunch advocate for the Second Amendment.

Erich Pratt, GOA’s Senior Vice President, issued the following statement: "We’re thrilled by the nomination of Kash Patel to head up the FBI. Over the course of the last four years, anti-gunners constantly weaponized the FBI against gun owners, and we’re confident that under his leadership, the reckoning is coming.”

Tim Macy, the Chairman of Gun Owners of America, added: "Kash is a true constitutionalist who shares our commitment to the Second Amendment."

GOA spokesmen are available for interviews. Gun Owners of America is a nonprofit grassroots lobbying organization dedicated to protecting the right to keep and bear arms without compromise. GOA represents over two million members and activists. For more information, visit GOA’s Press Center.
