The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms believe the President used the incident to highlight his gun ban agenda.
Monday’s tragic school shooting incident at a private Christian school in Madison, Wisconsin has left the nation shaken. President Joe Biden attempted to express his feelings towards what took place. However, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) believe he had a different agenda in mind.
“With just over one month remaining in his disastrous term,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “Joe Biden just couldn’t restrain himself from once again rolling out his one-size-fits-all gun control wish list in his statement from the White House.
“Demanding that Congress quickly pass universal background check (registration) legislation and ban so-called ‘assault weapons’ and ‘high-capacity magazines’ in response to this terrible crime is one of the stupidest, but expected reactions from a career gun prohibitionist whose history of gaffes is legendary.”
Gottlieb continued, “Joe Biden knows 15-year-olds can’t legally buy handguns anywhere in this country, so a call for background checks is irrelevant. Police have recovered a handgun which was used in the shooting, so calling for a ban on semiautomatic rifles and their magazines is also irrelevant and dishonest. Indeed, such demands underscore just how irrelevant Joe Biden and his gun ban agenda have become.”
“We join all Americans in deploring this horrible crime,” he added “but attempting to penalize every law-abiding citizen who owns or may someday wish to purchase a firearm will not undo the tragedy. Biden, and his fellow gun prohibitionists all know the incident in Madison would not have been prevented, even if all of the laws he now wants passed had already been in effect. It is dishonest to suggest otherwise, but, of course, honesty has hardly been the earmark of the Biden administration.”
A spokesman for the CCRKBA joins us now to discuss the matter further.
