Who We Are

A.C.A.T. – Armed Citizens Against Tyranny

About Us

We believe that practicing lawful gun ownership to lawfully protect our neighborhoods and communities at large is becoming more important than ever. With recent activity of ICE kidnapping people off the street and unlawfully arresting citizens of this country, we believe we need to be ready for the worst outcome.

This site is to assist those who have questions about getting their permit to carry in their state, how to find protests, how to protest safely, and answer a few questions you may have about gun ownership.

We are currently working with organizations to delivering food, groceries and amenities to help people who are too scared to leave their own homes.

Our Values

We believe in practicing our 2nd amendment rights and protecting the constitutional rights given to everyone who steps foot on our soil. While we are gun owners and believe anyone who is legally eligible to own a firearm should, especially right now, we also believe in proper gun control and common sense gun laws.

Our Goal

Our goal is simple, protect the people of the united states from unlawful search and seizure, stop ICE from unlawfully detaining our citizens, and ensure that if ICE is serving a warrant, they are acting on a judicial warrant signed by a judge. As of now, our police have not stepped in to ensure our rights and freedoms are not being taken away from us so it is up to the people to protect those who cannot protect themselves. To ensure the people who are too afraid to leave their homes have the proper items needed to survive.
