BELLEVUE, WA – Joe Biden’s gun control crusade is losing significant traction among Americans, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos survey, and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms believes part of the credit goes to its aggressive television efforts to educate the public about his radical anti-gun-rights agenda. According to Reuters, “the number of Americans who approved of Biden’s stance on gun violence dropped 8 points overall and 11 points among Democrats from April to June.” CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb says

Restrictive gun laws, embraced by Seattle voters over the past few years, didn’t
