BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is congratulating President Donald Trump for quickly following through on a promise to shut down the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, which was a thinly disguised Biden administration gun control operation. “This gun control bureaucracy had no place in the White House, and it should never have been created,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “Its supporters are having fits on the Internet, which convinces us that President Trump’s swift

BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says the newly-introduced Second Amendment Guarantee Act (SAGA) by U.S. Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) “is a timely proposal that deserves passage.” Congresswoman Tenney’s proposal would prohibit the states from banning the manufacture, sale, importation, or possession of any rifle or shotgun that is lawfully permitted under federal law, according to a statement from her office. The measure is co-sponsored by Reps. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) and Nick Langworthy (R-NY). “This important legislation comes

BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms applauds Congressman Ben Cline (R-Virginia) for introducing H.R. 404, the Hearing Protection Act, and is encouraging the nation’s gun owners to support this timely legislation. The Hearing Protection Act would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to remove suppressors from the definition of firearms, according to the bill, and from regulation under the 1934 National Firearms Act (NFA). “Similar legislation has been proposed in the past,” noted CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb,

BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is throwing its support behind national concealed carry reciprocity legislation introduced this week by Congressman Richard Hudson (R-NC), chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee. President-elect Donald J. Trump, who will be inaugurated Jan. 20, has already promised to sign a reciprocity bill if it reaches his desk. “The time is long past due for this nation to enter the 21st Century by recognizing the right to bear arms doesn’t stop at

Brown, which was brought by the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms against Maryland’s ban on so-called “assault weapons,” for a Friday, Jan. 10 conference. CCRKBA is joined by the Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition in this long-running case, which was

BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says California’s new law requiring firearms dealers to provide gun buyers with a pamphlet warning about the dangers of gun ownership amounts to “legislative social bigotry.” “This new law, AB 1598, is just another effort by anti-gun Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom to discourage Californians from exercising their constitutional right to become gun owners,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “At what point do Californians tell lawmakers in Sacramento they’ve had enough of

BELLEVUE, WA – While city officials in New Orleans have been trying since last year to create a “gun-free zone” including the city’s entire French Quarter, the slaughter of 14 people on New Year’s Day is graphic proof that bad people are the problem, not firearms, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said. “Alleged mass killer Shamsud Din Jabbar murdered all of his victims with an electric-powered pickup truck,” noted CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “While he reportedly had a rifle

BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is cheering the announced departure of Steven Dettelbach as head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and is urging incoming President Donald Trump to appoint someone who will “run the agency, not politicize it.” Dettelbach submitted his letter of resignation Dec. 20, and it becomes effective Jan. 18, just two days before Trump is sworn in as the 47th U.S. President. “That’s one less person Trump will have to
