BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is applauding the announcement by Department of Justice and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that the Biden-era “zero tolerance policy” penalizing gun owners and small retailers has been repealed. In a major DOJ announcement, the agency said it will also review Final Rule 2021R-08F, related to stabilizing braces, and Final Rule 2022R-17F, related to the definition of “engaging in the business” of firearms dealing. “Those rules were used by

BELLEVUE, WA – Anti-gun New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s signature on legislation requiring new merchant codes for firearm and ammunition purchases with credit cards is typical Democrat nonsense—penalizing honest gun owners for crimes they didn’t commit—the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms has determined. Gov. Hochul signed S745/A439 while her office and media allies maintain the legislation will reduce gun-related violent crime. According to a news release from Hochul’s office, “This gives law enforcement the opportunity to find out exactly who

SUSPECT WORKED WITH GROUP ‘AIMED AT PREVENTING YOUTH GUN VIOLENCE’ BELLEVUE, WA – While Washington state Democrats appear ready to adopt another restrictive gun control scheme affecting only law-abiding citizens, a double-homicide in Seattle over the weekend provides more evidence why the anti-gun ideology is strategically wrong and morally bankrupt, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms has declared.

BELLEVUE, WA – Monday’s arrest of an armed congressional staffer of anti-gun Sen. Cory Booker’s office clearly reveals the New Jersey Democrat is another Capitol Hill hypocrite when it comes to “guns for me, but not for thee,” the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said. According to a published report, Capitol police arrested 59-year-old Kevin A. Batts of New Jersey, a retired Newark police detective for carrying a pistol without a license. He was reportedly arrested after accompanying a member

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.

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
