BELLEVUE, WA – The terror attack in a Magdeburg, Germany public market killing five people and injuring 200 more proved once again that restrictive gun control hardly guarantees public safety against determined acts of murder and mayhem anywhere in the world, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said. CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb said the holiday season attack was reminiscent of the murderous outrage in July 2016 against people celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, France. There, 86 people were killed and

BELLEVUE, WA – A suggestion that the Second Amendment may no longer be “appropriate” in today’s society definitely should raise alarms about Shon Barnes, currently chief of police in Madison, Wisconsin and a reported top candidate for the same job in Seattle, Washington. The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says the Second Amendment and the rights it protects may be more appropriate now than ever before, considering the brutal stabbing murder of a Seattle Metro bus driver while on duty

BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms condemns President Joe Biden’s crass exploitation of Monday’s tragic school shooting incident at a private Christian school in Madison, Wisconsin, in an effort to push his tired—and in this case irrelevant, past its expiration date—gun ban agenda. “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

BELLEVUE, WA – The weekend pardon of convicted firearm felon Hunter Biden by his father, President Joe Biden—who had repeatedly vowed not to exercise this executive power—was a despicable exercise of the political double standard for which the Bidens and other political elitists are infamous, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said. “This pardon is an affront to all the people who have been convicted and or served prison time  for falsely filling out the same federal form that Hunter

BELLEVUE, WA – A recent report by ABC News that gun control groups are vowing to “double down” against incoming President Donald Trump if he pursues national concealed carry reciprocity only proves anti-gunners are more interested in citizen disarmament than in public safety, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said in response. “National concealed carry reciprocity simply would mean American citizens would no longer leave their right of self-defense at a state border,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “The gun

BELLEVUE, WA – A stabbing spree in Seattle reaffirms what the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms has maintained, that restrictive gun control laws do not prevent violent criminals from carrying out mayhem, but only prevents honest citizens from defending themselves. Even more alarming are reports that the suspect in this case has had nine felony convictions over the past ten years, and that he also has misdemeanor convictions on his record, and at the time of the stabbing incidents, he

BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is today congratulating the nation’s gun owners—especially those in critical “battleground” states—for “obviously making a difference” in the outcome of Tuesday’s presidential election. “America’s gun owners saw the threat of a Kamala Harris presidency and took action,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “Millions of ‘gun voters’ turned out to reverse the nation’s course on firearms rights, and keep Kamala out of the Oval Office. It was gun owners who also made

BELLEVUE, WA – With the presidential election just a few days away, polling data published by Fox News shows former President Donald Trump up by 6 points on a key issue for many voters: Gun rights. “This is a critical issue for millions of likely voters across the country,” said Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. “I believe gun owners could provide the winning difference in many parts of the country, especially key battleground states such

BELLEVUE, WA – John Petrolino, well-known author of “Decoding Firearms: An Easy to Read Guide on General Gun Safety & Use,” and regular contributing writer at Ammoland News, Bearing Arms.com, and The Truth About Guns, has been elected to fill a position on the Board of Directors for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. A U.S. Merchant Marine officer, and an NRA-certified pistol, rifle and shotgun instructor, Petrolino is also known as “The Pen Patriot.” He is a veteran gun

BELLEVUE, WA – During a recent interview when Vice President Kamala Harris revealed she owns a Glock pistol, and has had it since her days as a prosecutor in California, she offered scant details about the handgun, where it is kept and how it is stored. The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says the public has a right to more know about this handgun, considering the fact that Vice President Harris is widely known as an ardent gun control proponent
