Gun Owners of America (GOA) will hold the first Gun Owners Advocacy and Leadership Summit (GOALS) in Knoxville, Tennessee in August.
GOALS is expected to draw tens of thousands of participants. Opening on August 16, 2024, it will be an industry expo for retailers, manufacturers, and others in the firearms industry.
In an emailed statement, Gun Owners of America said GOALS “will feature speeches by gun rights leaders, educational panels, meet-and-greets, and musical performances by major artists.” Stated.
Gun Owners of America Executive Director Eric Pratt commented on the summit, noting that the November election is weighing heavily on the minds of the Second Amendment community.
Today, as gun owners, manufacturers, and dealers face increasing pressure and outright hostility from so many anti-gun forces, this election is undoubtedly about their Second Amendment rights. It will be the most important in history. With that in mind, our goal is to make this our inaugural event, bringing together Second Amendment supporters and allies in preparation for the political fight of their lives this November. That’s it. We can’t wait to confirm speakers and other guests of honor and reveal more details.
“Our greater GOA community is battle-hardened and uncompromisingly focused on our mission, and participants are energized by GOALS and prepared to make an impact on the serious challenges facing the Second Amendment.” “You can expect that,” added Kylie Neiman of Gun Owners of America. “This conference will be a great springboard for our organization and the greater community as we head into November.”
