About this group
Meet the hardest hitting, most effective, toughest fighting pro-gun organization in the state of California. GOC is attack oriented. We believe the surest way to lose is to be constantly on the defensive. We know the battle is in the political trenches and victory will never be assured until the last anti-gun legislator is defeated.

About this group
The NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is NRA's political action committee. The NRA-PVF ranks political candidates - irrespective of party affiliation - based on voting records, public statements and their responses to an NRA-PVF questionnaire. NRA relies on a very simple premise: when provided with the facts, the nation's elected officials will recognize that "gun control" schemes are an infringement on the Second Amendment and a proven failure in fighting crime. The importance of this premise lies in the knowledge that, as one U.S. Congressman put it: "The gun lobby is people."
