从维基上看,不是很多。 他们的历史短嘛,才40多年,NRA已经140多年了。 而且NRA有500万人,他们才150万人,势力也小多了。 不过他们值得标榜的,是从不妥协,不像NRA跟小媳妇似的委曲求全。 而且他们的founder是个加州的州议员,加州能出个铁杆拥枪的政客,还是不容易的。 下面是维基上列的他们的成就:
--
On June 6, 1995, GOA helped in lobbying the House of Representatives to vote against the Moran Amendment, by a vote of 278 to 149. The amendment would have banned .50 caliber weapons from being licensed for export.[21]
On July 13, 2006, Senator David Vitter (R-LA) saw an 84–16 vote for his amendment prohibiting the use of federal money for federal agents to confiscate weapons during a declared state of emergency. This bill was passed less than a year after the devastation in Vitter's home state from Hurricane Katrina.[22]
On June 27, 2007, the Pence Amendment passed. The bill, named after Representative Mike Pence (R-IN,这是我们上一任州长,现在的副总统,值得骄傲哦), was passed by a vote of 309–115. According to GOA the amendment blocked the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) ability to use the Fairness Doctrine in order to limit the free speech allowed by organizations like GOA over the airwaves.[23]
On August 9, 2007, GOA supported Vitter's work in pushing through a bill stating that no U.S. funds can be used by the United Nations or any group affiliated with the United Nations to restrict or tax Second Amendment rights. If they attempt to do so, the U.S. can withdraw their funds from the organization. This bill, HR-2764, also known as the Consolidated Appropriations Act, passed by an 81–10 vote.[24]
On February 25, 2008, Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) amended bill S-1200, the Indian Health Care Improvement Act. The act stated that the funds were to be used for "violence prevention". Once the funds were attempted to be used for gun buybacks and other such anti-gun policies, DeMint pushed through an amendment to the act stating that the money cannot be used for any anti-gun programs. The bill passed by a margin of 78–11.[25]
