Erich Pratt Testifies Live in Defense of the Second Amendment Before U.S. Senate Committee

This morning, Gun Owners of America Senior Vice President Erich Pratt will deliver live testimony before the United States Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs at a hearing examining how the Second Amendment is being infringed upon.

The hearing will begin at 10:00 AM EST and will be livestreamed by the senate committee.

Gun owners were promised change. Instead, we're getting Biden-era gun control, and law-abiding citizens are the ones paying the price. Erich Pratt is stepping up to set the record straight and ask the hard-hitting questions many of us have.

In his testimony, Erich will call on Congress to eliminate ATF's registry of nearly one-billion-gun owner records, enact nationwide concealed carry reciprocity so law-abiding Americans do not lose their rights when crossing state lines, and reject federal policies that undermine the security of a free state. These are just a few of the topics being covered, so tune in soon to watch the full hearing.

Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of Gun Owners of America, issued the following statement: "The Second Amendment is not an abstract principle—it is a cornerstone of our national security. The right to keep and bear arms is not just about individual self-defense—though it certainly includes that—it is a structural safeguard to ensure that the people remain sovereign. It ensures that power ultimately remains with the people, not solely with the government."
