BELLEVUE, WA – It didn’t take long for someone to call for more gun control after Saturday night’s foiled attack on President Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association gala, and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms calls it “nonsense" from someone who didn’t do their homework. “In an analysis, CNN’s Brian Stelter insinuated that nobody will consider tougher gun laws to prevent such an incident,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “He should have looked at the facts before going

BELLEVUE, WA – The anti-gun-rights Brady group, which previously endorsed Eric Swalwell for Congress and honored him as a guest speaker at a 2024 gala awards event—the same night he allegedly assaulted his female aide—has erased his name from its website and a video of the event has reportedly vanished from its YouTube page, but the taint of their past association remains, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said. The New York Post is reporting about Swalwell’s appearance at the

Added Emergency Clause Could Doom Guv’s Altered Bill BELLEVUE, WA – Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s attempt to amend House Bill 1525 is a legislative trainwreck which raises the minimum age to purchase and possess certain firearms by young adults under age 21, many of whom already own such guns, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said. Where Gov. Spanberger’s effort could—and should—justifiably collapse is her addition of an emergency declaration at the end of her amended bill. Under the Virginia Constitution,

BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is applauding the Kentucky Legislature for overriding Governor Andy Beshear’s vetoes of two pro-Second Amendment bills, sending a message that the rights of law-abiding citizens outweigh the stroke of a prejudiced, partisan pen. Democrat Beshear had vetoed House Bill 78 and House Bill 312, following an anti-gun-rights party line rather than principle. HB 78 establishes liability protections from frivolous lawsuits against firearms manufacturers, distributors and retailers involving specified legal actions arising

BELLEVUE, WA – Saturday’s bloody New York subway attack by a machete-wielding man who reportedly called himself “Lucifer” provided further evidence that restrictive New York gun laws which disarm the public amounts to legislative insanity, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms declared. The suspect, identified as 44-year-old Anthony Griffin, was fatally shot by police. Officers had ordered him repeatedly to drop the machete, but instead he approached them with weapon in hand, so they fired. The year started with a

BELLEVUE, WA – Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear’s veto of House Bill 312 was a deplorable act of sexism which leaves young women unarmed and vulnerable to brutal attack, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms declared. “While he claims to be a ‘different kind of Democrat,’ Gov. Beshear has revealed himself to be just one more anti-gun-rights politician adhering to the party’s increasingly far-left dogma,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “He has shown his true colors by preventing a provisional license

BELLEVUE, WA — The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms has filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of a case challenging the National Firearms Act’s (NFA) tax and registration requirements for firearm suppressors. The case is known as George Peterson v. United States. CCRKBA’s amicus brief urges the high court to grant certiorari in the case, which would confirm that suppressors, often incorrectly referred to as “silencers,” are protected by the Second Amendment, and therefore are

BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is cheering a Washington Times report that the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, under Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, is targeting restrictive gun laws that don’t square with the Second Amendment. “We’re calling this a progress report on what the Trump administration announced last year regarding Second Amendment scrutiny on local gun regulations,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “Based on what we know so far, it looks like progress is being
