In just a few weeks, law-abiding gun owners across Wyoming are going to be faced with an impossible choice: do we turn over our pistol braces and register any firearms made from 80% lower receivers — or do we risk felony charges?
This isn’t a drill, and it’s not a hypothetical.
That is the hard reality that countless gun owners are going to find themselves in as early as mid-February, thanks to a pair of Executive Orders that Joe Biden signed last year.
You see, gun owners have been fighting to crush the attacks on our gun rights in Congress for over a year now. And while Nancy Pelosi was able to advance several bills through the House, they have all been blocked in the United States Senate.
But that hasn’t stopped Biden’s handlers from advancing gun control through unconstitutional Executive Orders!
Biden’s first order would force gun owners to register any firearms that they have made themselves, using 80% lowers. These firearms are wildly popular with gun owners who enjoy making everything from Colt 1911’s to Ruger 10/22’s in their own homes.
Biden’s second order would force gun owners to surrender pistol braces to the federal government. The braces are widely used and make it easier for people to safely handle AR-15 pistols and similar firearms.
Once these orders are in place, violations of either of these tyrannical orders could leave you facing FELONY CHARGES!
That’s why the Wyoming legislature needs to take immediate action on the Second Amendment Preservation Act! And that’s why I hope you will send your prewritten email IMMEDIATELY!

The Second Amendment Preservation Act — known as SAPA — would nullify the impact of these Executive Orders by instructing Wyoming cops to only enforce gun laws that have been passed by the Wyoming legislature!
In other words, SAPA would require Wyoming’s troopers, deputies, and city cops to ignore all federal laws and Executive Orders that have anything to do with our gun rights.
It sounds simple, but the impact of SAPA would be massive.
You see, while it may be easy for Biden’s handlers to get him to sign Executive Orders attacking gun owners, the federal government doesn’t have the manpower to enforce it.
The truth is that for these Executive Orders to be used against gun owners, the federal government depends almost entirely on local law enforcement agencies to enforce it!
So if the Wyoming legislature enacts the Second Amendment Preservation Act, gun owners like you and me will be largely spared from the impact of Biden’s unconstitutional garbage!

To be very clear, SAPA isn’t just an interesting theory.
Lawmakers in Missouri passed this identical legislation last session, in a fight that was spearheaded by our sister organization. As a result, Missouri law enforcement agencies across the state have ceased enforcing federal gun laws!
Naturally, Biden’s Department of Justice filed suit against Missouri’s SAPA law in a desperate attempt to overturn it and to stop it from spreading across the country.
Thankfully, the DOJ’s arguments were rejected in court. That’s because the United States Constitution clearly allows the states to decide what’s in the best interest of its citizens.
What’s more, when state and federal laws have come into collision, the Supreme Court has ALWAYS held that the federal government may not simply ‘commandeer’ state resources and try to force them to do their bidding!
The left knows this, of course. After all, this is exactly what they did in ‘blue’ cities and states when President Trump tried to deport violent illegal aliens who were suspected of committing violent crimes.
‘Blue’ state mayors and governors refused to assist the federal government and offered sanctuary to violent criminals. Clearly ‘red’ states can do the same thing for law-abiding gun owners like you and me!
To be clear, SAPA legislation is far different than the county-by-county resolutions that are in the news right now. These resolutions are statements of support for the Second Amendment, but they are not binding on local law enforcement.
If you agree that we need SAPA legislation to protect us from Biden and the radical left, send your prewritten email IMMEDIATELY!

And the reality is that even when we pass SAPA, we need to be prepared for liberal cities like Cheyenne, Casper, Gillette and others to try to — because they very likely will try.
That’s what makes WYGO’s SAPA law so powerful.
You see, if a police department violates SAPA law and confiscates your pistol brace because a liberal police chief wants to follow Biden’s Executive Orders, you would be able to sue that department in civil court!
And with civil fines starting at $50,000 per occurrence, (like they do in Missouri) the reality is that insurance underwriters will be forcing these agencies to follow the law!
Some politicians claim that this legislation is ‘anti-cop.’
But nothing could be further from the truth. The reality is that SAPA law protects Wyoming cops from having to choose between enforcing unconstitutional federal orders or losing their jobs, by simply ordering them to ignore federal gun control laws.
So while I fully expect the Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police and other law enforcement lobby entities to oppose SAPA like they did last year — the reality is that real cops love it!
Simply put: passing SAPA legislation is the best way for us to defang Biden’s Executive Orders and protect our gun rights! SAPA protects gun owners and Wyoming cops at the same time. SAPA is doing that right now, in Missouri. Now it’s our turn!
We have excellent bill sponsors lined up in both chambers of the legislature! Now it’s time that your State Senator and State Representative co-sponsor this bill.
Help us crank up the heat in Cheyenne! Send the prewritten email that we have prepared for you, urging your legislators to co-sponsor and support SAPA legislation before it’s too late!

But when you’re done, I hope that you’ll make a generous donation so WYGO can really start to put pressure on the moderates who killed SAPA last year — and who are going to try to do the same thing this year.
These orders are set to take effect in just weeks, so we don’t have any time to waste!
That’s why WYGO has laid out a plan to inundate the legislature with thousands of calls and emails in support of this legislation using a combination of direct mail, digital and radio ads, and our infamous email program!
It’s a lot, I know. But gun owners are dealing with a mentally frail tyrant and a team of America-hating thugs in Congress who are trying to crush us! And without SAPA, we could all be facing felony charges in just a few months!
If Wyoming follows in Missouri’s footsteps and passes SAPA legislation, it will not only protect gun owners in our state, it will make it easier for other ‘red’ states to follow suit!
Help us pass SAPA! Please send your prewritten email and make a generous donation right away!

Wyoming Gun Owners
P.S. With Biden’s Executive Orders right around the corner, gun owners in Wyoming are facing a terrible choice: do we turn in our pistol braces and register firearms that were made from 80% lowers, or risk felony charges?
We need a third option, and that’s why WYGO is fighting to pass SAPA legislation in Cheyenne. This legislation would order Wyoming cops to enforce Wyoming laws when it comes to firearms and accessories — nullifying the impact of Biden’s Executive Orders!
This is going to be a short session and we need to add cosponsors fast! So send your prewritten email that we’ve prepared for you, urging your legislators to support SAPA!
