Washington, D.C. – Today, Gun Owners of America announced its support for a lawsuit brought forth by Slide Fire Solutions against the U.S. government, which challenges the 2018 ban and unconstitutional confiscation of bump stocks under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment.

Statement from Senior Vice President for Gun Owners of America Erich Pratt:

“We fully support this case brought forth by Slide Fire Solutions, given the major implications it has on the Second Amendment and Fifth Amendment rights of all Americans. No American should have their property confiscated at the hands of the federal government in clear violation of the sacred principles of the United States Constitution.”

Statement from Gun Owners of America Director of Development and Marketing Kailey Nieman:

“The Constitution of the United States makes it crystal clear: Americans have an unabridged right to carry arms. The federal government is attempting to violate fundamental property rights of Americans. We are proud to support Slide Fire Solutions’ case.”
