A spokesman for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms explains why these should be repealed – and has the proof to back it up.
For some time now, President Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats have been working around the clock on initiatives that would keep firearms out of the hands of potential and current owners. However, a new report reveals how two particular initiatives, put together by those same Democrats, are not only failing, but providing the type of evidence that calls for them to be repealed.
Alan Gottlieb, Chairman for the Citizens Committee for the Right To Keep and Bear Arms, explained in a statement that “(Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs) data released Monday showing a 96 percent increase in homicides since 2019 is damning proof that billionaire-backed gun control measures were, as we predicted, false pie-in-the-sky promises. Passage of Initiative 594 in 2014 and I-1639 in 2018 have accomplished nothing other than to create massive impairments, which we believe are unconstitutional, for law-abiding Washington citizens.”
He continued, “While the billionaires who bankrolled both initiatives were saying these measures would reduce crime, we were telling people the truth, and the WASPC report vindicates our arguments. WASPC says last year’s 394 murders is the highest number of homicides recorded by the group since 1980.
“And we’re more than one year out from passage of a ban on so-called ‘large-capacity magazines,’ which was a pet project of Democrat Attorney General Bob Ferguson,” he added. He also noted that murders increased over the previous year by 16.6 percent over 2021.
“At this point, it is fair to ask what good has any of these laws accomplished? These gun control measures have only helped make people less safe, and it should be clear to voters they’ve been deceived by the gun prohibition lobby, which will no doubt try to spin the new report to suggest even stricter measures are necessary.”
A representative for the CCRKBA joins us now to discuss this matter further.
Q&A:
- What do you believe was the general notion by the Democrats – and perhaps even Biden, for that matter – in putting together these two initiatives?
- With this report, do you believe President Biden’s push to ban all “assault weapons” holds even less water now?
- Why are Democrats and Biden so hellbent on getting guns “banned” to begin with? Aren’t they easily accessible online anyway? Would a “ban” pretty much undo the point they’re trying to make – not to mention anger private gun owners?
- What is the solution when it comes to resolving the growing violence in the United States? We know you’ve been talking about Constitutional-Carry (or Concealed-Carry as some call it) for some time.
- Why do you think Biden and his fellow Democrats refuse to consider Concealed-Carry as it stands? Are they concerned with “more guns being out there,” so to speak?
- 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 Second Amendment Foundation and its members?
