Quote of the Day
One of the signals this is bogus research is the way Everytown graded Washington State, where the Citizens Committee is headquartered. Washington is position ninth on the list, and is described as ‘making progress.’ The state has adopted increasingly restrictive gun laws in recent years, and the number of homicides has more than doubled since 2014, according to FBI data and statistics from the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs. Seattle just set a new homicide record in 2023. If that’s what Everytown calls ‘making progress,’ we would be better off going back to living in caves.
The only conclusion one can draw is that Everytown is far more interested in restricting the rights of honest citizens than it is in reducing violent crime or taking violent criminals off the street.

CCRKBA SAYS EVERYTOWN CLAIM THAT STRICT GUN LAWS SAVE LIVES IS BOGUS | Citizens Committee For The Right To Keep And Bear Arms
This claim is assessed as True.
The big tell in almost antigun organizations claims is when they refer to “Gun Violence” statistics and completely ignore criminal violence committed by thugs using other types of weapons and unarmed violence..
“Gun violence” includes justified shootings in self defense by police and/or private citizens, and people who committed or attempted suicide with a gun. And, most importantly, it ignores sky high violence rates against people unable to defend themselves by exercising their specific enumerate right to keep and bear arms.
One could ask, as I have done many times, if the shift was intentional or negligent. I have never received a straight answer. This tells me it is intentional.
These people are deliberate liars. Respond and prepare appropriately.
Your spot on Allen. But one must always remember the result of everytown (even if they refuse to admit it), is that murdering criminal element.
Kindred communist souls if you will.
And looky there, isn’t that the cave dwellers being imported as we speak?
Deliberate liars indeed. I ask an anti-gun legislator a direct, straightforward answer. I get a non-answer. I clarify my question and indicate that it is a “Yes/No” question.
The deliberate lying and obfuscation tells me everything about how they view me and my rights. Not to mention the arrogance of thinking they aren’t obliged to answer their constituents questions.
