The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms condemns President Joe Biden’s crass exploitation of Monday’s tragic school shooting incident at a private Christian school in Madison, Wisconsin, in an effort to push his tired—and in this case irrelevant, past its expiration date—gun ban agenda.
“With just over one month remaining in his disastrous term,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “Joe Biden just couldn’t restrain himself from once again rolling out his one-size-fits-all gun control wish list in his statement from the White House. Demanding that Congress quickly pass universal background check (registration) legislation and ban so-called ‘assault weapons’ and ‘high-capacity magazines’ in response to this terrible crime is one of the stupidest, but expected reactions from a career gun prohibitionist whose history of gaffes is legendary.
“Joe Biden knows 15-year-olds can’t legally buy handguns anywhere in this country,” Gottlieb continued, “so a call for background checks is irrelevant. Police have recovered a handgun which was used in the shooting, so calling for a ban on semiautomatic rifles and their magazines is also irrelevant and dishonest. Indeed, such demands underscore just how irrelevant Joe Biden and his gun ban agenda have become.”
There was no armed school resource officer to protect the children at Abundant Life Christian School, according to published reports.
“We join all Americans in deploring this horrible crime,” Gottlieb said, “but attempting to penalize every law-abiding citizen who owns or may someday wish to purchase a firearm will not undo the tragedy. Biden, and his fellow gun prohibitionists all know the incident in Madison would not have been prevented, even if all of the laws he now wants passed had already been in effect. It is dishonest to suggest otherwise, but, of course, honesty has hardly been the earmark of the Biden administration.
“In the aftermath of this tragedy, common sense and cooler heads must prevail,” he observed. “Instead of shooting-from-the-lip, as Biden has done throughout his 50-plus years in politics, we look forward to working with the next administration on rational preventive measures and intelligent solutions, such as armed resource officers and improved mental health counseling, instead of spewing specious sound-bite suggestions which shift blame from the perpetrator to a constitutionally-enumerated fundamental right.”
Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms
With more than 650,000 members and supporters nationwide, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (www.ccrkba.org) is one of the nation’s premier gun rights organizations. As a non-profit organization, the Citizens Committee is dedicated to preserving firearms freedoms through active lobbying of elected officials and facilitating grass-roots organization of gun rights activists in local communities throughout the United States.
wait, didn’t Biden recently pardon a high profile criminal for illegal possession of a gun?
I don’t know anything about Wisconsin’s gun laws, but it seems pretty obvious that if a school can’t hire someone to be their full-time guardian, they should have any volunteering staff/faculty to get trained & certified for conceal carry on campus.
I think you need to give some credit to the Biden progs. Whenever they are presented with a situation, they always manage to make the incorrect choice. If asked how many fingers did the shooter have, I am convinced they would answer, “Blue.”
the progs continue with the same trope time after time (guns are bad) while at the same time not doing anything useful to stop these criminals from doing again and again. how about allowing staff to carry, i.e. FASTER program?
it is amoral for them to be sacrificing children to disarm law-abiding citizens.
So Biden wants to ban guns while pardoning his son….nice
To our so called government!
Why all of a sudden have Christian schools become the target of choice? What was the mental illness that she has. Was she on beta blockers or drugs to change her to a boy?
Tell us, we have a right to know.
honesty and politicians somehow those two words do not belong on the same page
This school, and every other private school in the nation, NEED to look into Ohio’s fASTER Saves Lives Training and equipping any adult staff to be full time security, no one knows who is/is not carrying a any given time… and PERfEC track record.. not one incident involving a firearm at any school with this programme, now going on 20 years. and nO COST t tas[ayers OR school.
I look at the long game:
The DNC has no agenda to ban firearms. The agenda is to “cancel” the USA, and that can’t happen until it disarms the vast majority of patriotic citizens.
Yes. They can want all they want but getting it done is completely different especially in today’s world where the legacy media is hated more than Congress. They have been trying to amend the Constitution with the Equal Rights Amendment for Women for 40 years. Not going to happen in our or our children’s children lifetimes. And as Barretta used to say, “You can take that to the Bank!”
