GOA has never had any influence, and never will. Their main goal is raising funds from disgruntled NRA members. Stick with the NRA. They aren’t anywhere near perfect, but they’re the only gun-rights group with any real clout.
I’m still waiting for anyone to tell me what the goa has ever done on their own. If anyone doesn’t like the NRA, then they should join the Second Amendment Foundation which has a better track record because they work with the NRA at times.
