BELLEVUE, WA – Anti-gun Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger and her Democrat Assembly allies have retreated from a gun rights battle they are almost certain to lose, delaying their ill-advised ban on carrying modern semiautomatic firearms until 2027 after a Lancaster County judge issued a preliminary injunction against the new law. The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms cheered the ruling, but says the law should be thrown out because it clearly violates the Second Amendment. “Gov.

BELLEVUE, WA – The U.S. Supreme Court’s newest Second Amendment ruling once again shows that proponents of restrictive gun control policies are on the wrong side of history as well as the Constitution, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said. “For the fifth time since the landmark Heller decision in 2008, the Court has upheld the individual right to keep and bear arms,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, who added even more context to the importance of the 6-3 ruling

BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is hailing the unanimous ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court which strikes down a federal prohibition on firearms ownership for people who are “habitual” marijuana users. The case, known as United States v. Hemani, involved Texas resident Ali Hemani, who had been charged with a felony for possessing a handgun for self-defense while admitting he used marijuana “every other day,” which was prohibited by federal statute (18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3)).

BELLEVUE, WA – The Saturday morning arrest of Cleveland Cavaliers basketball star James Harden raises concerns and questions about why he was charged with a misdemeanor at all, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms contends. Harden was reportedly pulled over early Saturday in Houston on what has been described as a “traffic stop.” A handgun was allegedly observed that was not in a holster, “according to charging documents.” This is essentially what all of the published reports are saying, without

BELLEVUE, WA – A ruling by the Appellate Court of Maryland in the case of a man who was stopped by police initially for carrying a gun in public because the gun was allegedly “printing,” is being cited by the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms as another step toward placing more limits on government’s ability to interfere with the right to bear arms protected by the Second Amendment. The case involved a man named Steven Hicks, who was stopped by

BELLEVUE, WA – While the gun prohibition lobby is observing June as “Gun Violence Awareness Month,” the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says there should also be an “Armed Self-Defense Awareness Month” to recognize the thousands of people who defend themselves and others each year. “Not once have we heard a peep from the gun ban crowd when a legally-armed private citizen intervenes to save lives from mass killers, or protect themselves and their families from violent criminals,” noted CCRKBA

BELLEVUE, WA – The Minnesota Court of Appeals correctly ruled Tuesday that a ban on so-called “binary triggers” snuck into an omnibus 2024 spending measure by Democrats at the last minute violated a state constitutional procedural requirement. While some consider a “binary trigger” to be a rapid-fire gimmick for certain semi-auto firearms, it has no connection with tax-and-spending legislation, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms notes. “This is the sort of shenanigan used by anti-gunners time and again to conceal something
