BELLEVUE, WA – A mass stabbing incident in Amsterdam, in which two U.S. citizens were injured, is a reminder of the importance of a person’s right of self-defense, and to have the proper tools to carry out that defense, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said. Published reports say the unidentified suspect apparently attacked his victims at random. Police in the Netherlands capital city, are trying to establish a motive.

The 18-9 party-line vote came following a lengthy debate, with Jordan reminding his colleagues, “Our First Amendment rights do not change from one state to another and

BELLEVUE, WA – The arrest of a man on drug and gun-related charges whose prison sentence was commuted by former President Joe Biden days before he left office underscores the massive failure of the Democrats’ soft-on-crime strategy, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms declared. Fox News is reporting the arrest of Willie Frank Peterson, 52, is back behind bars two months after Biden commuted his prison sentence on Jan. 17. Peterson was doing time for conspiracy to distribute cocaine, having

BELLEVUE, WA – Reacting to a call by 14 perennially anti-gun House Democrats that President Donald Trump remove Kash Patel as acting head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms suggested the group “pound sand.” In their March 3 letter, these Democrats asserted that since Congress passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act in June 2022 under the Biden administration, “violent crime hit an almost 50-year low, and we’ve seen the single

BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is pointing to media hypocrisy in its reporting of at least ten attacks involving knives or hatchets, most of them fatal, yet there was not a single mention of “knife violence,” indicating an appalling double-standard in how violent crime involving firearms is routinely portrayed, whether by broadcast or print media. “We checked ten different reports Tuesday morning regarding fatal and non-fatal knife attacks, all over the country,” noted CCRKBA Chairman Alan

BELLEVUE, WA – While Evergreen State Democrats now controlling the State Legislature are laboring to disarm law-abiding citizens, they should try first to explain why their former governor released a career criminal who now is accused of drug and gun law violations, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) is insisting. The arrest of Percy Levy, 54, by the Snohomish Regional Drug Task Force, made local and national headlines. Levy was granted clemency by former far-left Democrat Gov. Jay Inslee

BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says legislation just introduced in the Rhode Island General Assembly to ban so-called “assault weapons” should be rejected, and is calling on its members in the state to demand as much from their elected representatives. The bill, H-5436, targets virtually every self-loading rifle, regardless of caliber, capable of accepting detachable magazines. Only semi-automatic rifles of .22-caliber rimfire with tubular magazines would be exempt from the proposed ban. “The authors of this legislation

BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is encouraging American gun owners to support a new House bill which would ban the use of special “Merchant Category Codes” (MCC) which track gun and ammunition purchases made with credit cards. The legislation, known as the Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act (PPPA), was introduced by freshman U.S. Rep. Riley Moore (R-WV) and 25 House colleagues. It is a response to efforts by anti-gunners to track such sales, which essentially create

BELLEVUE, WA – The Democratic National Committee has just destroyed whatever remaining shreds of credibility it may have had on the gun issue by electing David Hogg, the 24-year-old gun control extremist, as its vice chairman, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said. “David Hogg has become one of the nation’s most extremely outspoken—and attention seeking—gun control zealots in recent memory,” noted CCRKBA Managing Director Andrew Gottlieb. “Since becoming a media darling following the 2018 high school shooting in Parkland,

BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is calling upon the nation’s gun owners and citizens concerned about violent crime in a national television ad to sign a Petition to Congress and urge their representatives to support the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act. “President Donald Trump has promised to sign this legislation if and when it reaches his desk,” noted CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “and America’s gun owners and concerned citizens can make that happen by flooding Capitol
