BELLEVUE, WA – -(AmmoLand.com)- The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today blasted President Joe Biden and Democrats for rushing to exploit the mass shooting tragedy in Raleigh, N.C., by calling for a ban on so-called “assault weapons” when the teenage suspect used a shotgun.
“Even before the investigation had really started,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “Democrat politicians were clamoring for more gun control. Biden quickly renewed his crusade for a ban on ‘assault weapons’ and others followed his lead. To exploit such tragedies by immediately calling for additional gun control laws that would not have prevented this crime, and will not prevent other crimes, is the height of intellectual dishonesty.
“It is this kind of callous capitalization that drives gun owners away from voting for Democrats,” he continued. “The party and its president have once again revealed they will use any tragedy to promote their agenda of public disarmament.”
Published reports quote Biden demanding “action to get weapons of war off our streets,” while at the same time noting witness calls to police said the suspect was armed with a shotgun.
“The press didn’t hesitate to sensationalize this tragedy, either,” Gottlieb observed. “Report after report used terms straight out of the gun grabber’s dictionary—gun safety and gun reform, for example—when they are really talking about gun prohibition.
“This is one more example of Joe Biden and other Democrats lying about guns, which really shouldn’t surprise anybody,” he stated. “They habitually lie to further a gun prohibition agenda that has nothing to do with public safety. The number of times Biden has personally lied about guns and the Second Amendment is well known. He was called out by the Washington Post Fact Checker for saying there were gun restrictions when the nation was founded more than 240 years ago.
“Biden simply can’t get his story straight about guns,” Gottlieb concluded, “and when something isn’t straight, it is crooked. That seems to be the way Joe Biden has always been about guns, and it has rubbed off on his party. Gun owners have figured it out, which is why they have drifted away from the Democrats, and taken their votes with them.”

since when do we expect honesty and the truth out of anti gun rights folks? If they were honest then we could work together to get criminals off of the streets while protecting the rights of honest citizens.
The imbecile and chief is if nothing else congenital liar, no joke
Since gun grabbers repeat like parrots the same cliches and narratives (often word for word) to ram gun control onto the American conscience, why not try some of our own? 1)”The promoters of gun control won’t admit the truth. They do indeed want to disarm you, just ask Beto O’Rourke”; 2) “Gun control allows liberals who oppose strong policing, harsher penalties for criminal misuse of guns, irresponsible handling of guns, support ‘catch &release (as seen in some big cities), oppose capital punishment, etc. to PRETEND to do something about crime”; 3) “Criminals love gun control and unarmed victims”; 4) “Gun… Read more »
Yep and funny thing is guns are an inanimate object not capable of violence , but don’t destroy the lefts false narratives with the truth .
Using the word intellectual anywhere close to Biden is laughable.
Yes, the problem is Biden is merely a puppet under the control of many smart, liberal, globalists that have all kinds of money. Most of whom are anything but stupid, in other words crazy like a fox.
WE ALL NEED TO ARM UP AND CARRY ON!!!
Joe Biden is a complete clownshow and does not know what planet he is on let alone say what he says from one minute to the next . He belongs in a nursing home eating ice cream cones where no one will care what demented lies he tells .
The fact that a 15yr old male used a shotgun to murder his brother and four other citizens who he most likely never met before that tragic day is proof positive that no gun law(s) past, present or future will stop a person from doing what he did.
Biden has no Intellect!
As I opined on another forum: “intellectual dishonesty” my sweet patootie – he flat out lied and did so knowing that that little punk had used ‘his’ favorite weapon, the one he says is easier to use and more effective than the AR-14, especially when fired off the balcony to scare off intruders or thru the front door.
I wouldn’t call anything about the Usurper Bidet “intellectual,” even his dishonesty.
