Our lawsuit against the DOJ and ATF dates back FIVE YEARS, to the first Trump Administration, to defend law-abiding gun owners from illegal background check tyranny. And we won — not once, but twice. Thanks to GOA’s relentless …<br/> <a class="postReadMore" href="https://www.gunowners.org/na102725/">Read more<i class="fa fa-angle-double-right"></i></a>

Truck needed an oil change & was out of coupons for discounted oil changes at the Ford dealership 

Went on an oil research mission and Woza, talk about down the rabbit hole & then you have oil filters……..

Ended up having a local independent shop change the oil and put in 5W-30 Mobile 1 extended performance and a Wix XP oil filter

Will change it in 6 months & thinking about doing an oil analysis

[GOA News] Suppressors Are Protected — So Why Is the DOJ Still Upholding the 1934

The Department of Justice — under Attorney General Pam Bondi — is defending one of the most outdated and unconstitutional gun control laws in America: the National Firearms Act of 1934. In the Peterson case before the Fifth Circuit, DOJ attorneys admitted that suppressors are protected by the Second Amendment, but they’re still fighting to uphold the NFA’s registration scheme …<br/> <a class="postReadMore" href="https://www.gunowners.org/na102225/">Read more<i class="fa fa-angle-double-right"></i></a>
