Support Indiana Senators’ Bid for Constitutional Carry!
Indiana HB 1077 removes the requirement for a conceal carry license for law-abiding citizens of the great State of Indiana for the purpose of carrying a concealed pistol on their person or in a vehicle. It has passed the House and is poised to move through the Senate if all goes well. It’s currently in the Committee on Judiciary where it got its first reading on February 7th. While HB 1077 passed the House, there was some opposition to it. The House, having 29
‘SEATTE MAYOR BRUCE HARRELL WRONG ABOUT STATE PREEMPTION’ – CCRKBA
BELLEVUE, WA – Anti-gun Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell wasted no time in attempting to create a myth early in his tenure when he told reporters Washington is “one of the few states” with a firearms preemption law, and he needs to come clean immediately, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today. At his presser, Harrell—a longtime opponent of state preemption, which guarantees uniformity of firearms law from border to border—declared, “You will hear this year me lead efforts
CCRKBA RIPS BIDEN’S CONTINUED LIES ABOUT GUN RIGHTS
BELLEVUE, WA – Joe Biden went off-script again during his remarks to the media in New York City when he repeated two blatant falsehoods, one about the Second Amendment and the other about a federal law that prevents junk lawsuits against gunmakers, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today. “When it comes to gun rights and the Second Amendment, Joe Biden is a recidivist congenital liar,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “The guy just can’t resist perpetuating a
The Chilling of Your Second Amendment Right Is Looming…Fight Back Now!
Washington SSB 5568 dictates that cities, towns, counties and other municipalities may now enact laws restricting the open carry of firearms. In the strictest application of this bill, a government entity as described above may prevent the law-abiding, free citizen from openly carrying a firearm or other weapon at permitted demonstrations, “public meetings[s] held by a public agency”, at buildings & facilities that counties, cities or towns own or operate and even at local municipal parks inside their jurisdiction. Of course, the legislators who are so
CCRKBA: KING COUNTY, WA GUN MURDERS, SHOOTINGS PROVE ANTI-GUNNERS LIED
BELLEVUE, WA – Monday’s “Shots Fired” report from the King County (WA) Prosecutor’s Office on the number of gun-related homicides and injuries last year is more proof that gun control laws and anti-rights initiatives adopted over the past few years in Washington State have been abject failures, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today in reaction. “Proponents of these laws, and especially the gun control initiatives passed in recent years, sold the public a bill of goods, and
Nebraska Needs Your Help to Enact Constitutional Carry
Nebraska is on the road to finally realizing its unfettered Second Amendment right but needs your help to get there. With the introduction of LB773, the goal is within sight. LB773 not only allows for permitless carry by law-abiding citizens but prevents counties, cities and towns from enacting any restrictions against it. Currently the bill is in the Judiciary Committee and is poised to either progress to the floor or to die. Whether it moves forward or dies in committee depends largely on the
SAF, CCRKBA THANK 25 STATE AGs FOR AMICUS BRIEF TO SCOTUS BACKING MARYLAND LAWSUIT
BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation and Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today expressed their sincere gratitude to the Attorneys General in 25 states for joining an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court, supporting their challenge to a Maryland gun ban law and urging the high court to hear the case. “We are truly gratified that the top law enforcement officers in fully half of the states in our country have signed onto this amicus brief,” said
Washington’s SB 5078 and HB 1164
Washington anti-gun legislators are hard at work eroding your Second Amendment rights. Two new bills banning magazines in the Washington State Legislature need your action today. SB 5078 demonizes magazines holding eighteen or more rounds as “dangerous and unusual” while its companion bill, HB 1164 (which lowers the maximum to ten rounds), claims that “magazine capacity limits do not interfere with responsible, lawful self-defense”. SB 5078, in regal fashion, graciously offers the pretense of a “grandfather” clause for “large capacity” magazines to citizens who can
VIOLENT CRIMINALS GET HOME MONITORS IN COOK COUNTY, SHOT IN PHILLY: CCRKBA
BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today condemned the courts in Cook County, Illinois while hailing the actions of two armed citizens in Philadelphia, Pa., noting that in the former, courts have been allowing accused murderers out of jail for home electronic monitoring, while in the latter, armed would-be carjackers were shot by their victims. Published reports say that “about 100” people charged with murder in Cook County have been released on home electronic monitoring. CCRKBA
