Gun Owners of America (GOA) just dropped a bombshell endorsement slate that’s music to the ears of every red-blooded 2A patriot: thirteen rock-solid candidates poised to storm Washington from the Lone Star State. Leading the charge is Texas AG Ken Paxton for U.S. Senate, a legal warrior who’s already shredded Biden’s ATF overreach in court and stood tall against federal gun grabs. Joining him in the U.S. House races are heavy-hitters like Nathaniel Moran (TX-01), a constitutional conservative who’s battled Big Tech censorship; Steve Toth (TX-02), the firebrand state rep who’s pushed permitless carry expansions; Keith Self (TX-03), a Green Beret veteran with zero tolerance for swamp creatures; Pat Fallon (TX-04), who’s sponsored bills to nix red flag laws; and more to come in the full list. This isn’t some milquetoast NRA nod—these are GOA’s no compromise picks, warriors who’ve earned gold stars for defending everything from suppressors to standard-capacity magazines.
What makes this lineup a game-changer? Texas isn’t just a battleground; it’s 2A ground zero, pumping out Supreme Court wins like New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen and exporting pro-gun policies nationwide. With Paxton potentially flipping the Senate seat from Cornyn’s squishy moderate stance, GOA is betting big on a firewall against Harris-Walz gun bans, ATF pistol brace rules, and the endless parade of assault weapon hysteria. These candidates aren’t RINOs whispering sweet nothings—they’ve got the voting records: sponsoring the SHORT Act to protect short-barreled rifles, fighting UN gun control treaties, and shielding Texas from federal overreach. Imagine a Congress where Texas delegates form a pro-2A phalanx, blocking Biden’s lame-duck executive orders and fast-tracking national reciprocity.
For the 2A community, this is a clarion call: donate, volunteer, and vote like your AR-15 depends on it—because it just might. GOA’s move signals momentum building toward a House and Senate that treats the Second Amendment like the bedrock it is, not a suggestion. If these Texans win, expect ripple effects—stronger concealed carry protections, dismantled NFA restrictions, and a big middle finger to Bloomberg’s billions.
