A spokesman for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms discusses Biden’s State of the Union address, and what was sorely missing.
Though President Joe Biden and his followers believed he put on a great State of the Union address, it left a lot of questions to be answered. Particularly his line about protecting freedoms.
He noted that his vision for the future includes restoring “the right to choose and protect other freedoms, not take them away.” But keep in mind that nowhere in that speech did he mention anything about private gun owners or the Second Amendment.
“Joe Biden told that fib several minutes after demanding a ban on an entire class of firearms, which happen to be in common use across the country,” said Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) Chairman Alan Gottlieb in a statement. “He claimed that his lifetime has taught him to embrace freedom and democracy, but that obviously doesn’t include the freedom to keep and bear arms.
“He claims that banning guns doesn’t violate the Second Amendment or vilify responsible gun owners,” Gottlieb continued. “The hell it doesn’t. Millions of honest American men and women of all races and political backgrounds have already embraced the freedom to choose what constitutionally-protected firearms they want to responsibly own, and along comes Biden with a demand that those arms be banned.
“This president vilifies gun owners every time he demands new restrictions on Second Amendment rights because he’s literally telling a hundred-million citizens he doesn’t trust them,” he continued. “He claimed his lifetime has taught him to respect everyone, but he obviously doesn’t mean America’s gun owners, because his entire political career has focused on disrespecting their rights, banning the guns they own and diminishing their freedom.
“President Biden has a history of telling whoppers,” Gottlieb stated, “and his State of the Union campaign speech certainly held to that tradition where gun rights are concerned. He may have fooled Democrats in Congress and his media cheerleaders, but he didn’t fool American gun owners.”
A representative for the CCRKBA joins us now to discuss the matter further.
Q&A:
- Is it curious that Biden discussed citizens having “the right to choose and protect other freedoms,” but he fails to address guns? Or is that just part of his agenda?
- What was your takeaway from the State of the Union address? Did it just seem like he wanted to dial in the answers people wanted to hear?
- We just heard that South Carolina has passed an open-carry law, making it the 29th state to do so. What do you think these states that permit Concealed-Carry are telling Biden with his policies?
- Could we see a dividing line as a result, particularly as Biden pushes forward with his re-election campaign?
- Where can people call in to pledge their support to the CCRKBA?
- The number to support the group is (800) 699-0992.
- Where can we learn more about the CCRKBA and its members?
