From the CCRKBA:

A Seattle-based gun prohibition lobbying group has reached a new low, siding with rioters, looters and urban terrorists in Portland, Oregon in an attempt to smear law-abiding gun owners, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.

“We’ve seen some outrageous claims by the gun control crowd over the years,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “but Friday’s fund raising appeal that tried to blame federal agents dispatched to Portland to protect federal property for continued riots is simply unconscionable.”

The Alliance for Gun Responsibility, a billionaire-backed anti-gun rights group, claims “federal agents have descended on the city turning the largely peaceful protests against racism and police brutality into violent clashes.”

“Like their usual anti-gun rhetoric,” Gottlieb observed, “the false image of Portland’s protests the Alliance is trying to create is a myth and they know it. Street thugs, using legitimate demonstrations as cover, have rampaged in downtown Portland for about two months before the Trump administration sent federal agents to protect Government property.

“Maybe the Alliance doesn’t care about the attempts by some rioters to blind officers by shining lasers in their eyes,” he added. “What’s next, blaming match companies for the arson at the Portland Police Association offices?

The Alliance also criticizes President Trump for sending federal agents to Chicago in an effort to stem the bloody violence that has taken over that city’s streets.

“Would they rather allow the Windy City bloodshed to continue,” he wondered. “Are they hoping for a higher body count, just so they can exploit the violence to push a gun control agenda that has been a complete failure?

“It’s bad enough these wealthy elitists want to disarm law-abiding citizens,” he stated. “Now they’re openly supporting urban terrorists who’ve been costing taxpayers and private businesses tens of millions of dollars. No wonder so many more Americans are buying guns for personal protection.

“I would say ‘shame on these people’ if I thought it would matter,” Gottlieb said, “but past experience shows they have no shame, only a political agenda, and they’ll reach as low as they must in order to achieve their anti-gun rights goals.”

 

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.

  1. I think the Left wants and needs a higher body count. It helps inflate the COVID-19 numbers!

    • Since Gun Control is rooted in racism and genocide it makes Gun Control a racist and based agenda.
      Black Lives Do Not and Cannot Matter to sneaky lily white Gun Control Slave Masters who are selling gullible history illiterate politically inept Black Americans a racist and nazi based agenda. That’s chiseled.

      • Hey, Debbie W.,

        I like how you ferociously hammer on the racist roots of gun control, and that, even today, gun control is strongly racist.

        Keep it up!!

        • Her only problem is she “can’t keep it up”….. if you know what I mean…. she’s a foul mouthed hooligan…. her only redeeming qualities would be making sandwiches….I bet she won’t even do that!
          Imagine begging attached to that ball and chain…..omfg…. the misery….

    • Give these seditionists, and that’s what they are, what they want (a higher body count). Sedition (18 U.S. Code § 2384) is a form of Treason (18 U.S. Code § 2381) which is punishable by death or imprisonment. They started Civil War II with their insurrectionist acts and there damn-sure has to be consequences for their actions. This sort of a culling just might keep our republic from becoming the third-world shithole that these young communists will turn it into when they eventually come of age and assume power.
      And no, I don’t believe that lead poisoning or blunt-force trauma (nightsticks up-side the head) will be confused with COVID deaths now that we know that the leftists in power have been padding the numbers.

        • Awww, your *precious* butt-hurt!

          Now go back to the basement and wank…;)

        • Sometimes “wanking” (who calls it THAT) is better than the alternative…. just think Debbie W.

    • Antifa, gun control, all part of the communist attempt to take away our country. Don’t give ground to either. Communism sucks and communists suck.

  2. Let’s see: Confiscate normal, law-abiding people’s guns, then defund the police. Next, turn the state over to a violent, Marxist Antifa mob!

    What could possibly go wrong?

    • What could go wrong?

      Nothing in the eyes of the marxist who control the city and state. Everything is going according to plan, keep escalating chaos to the violent revolution they all proclaim.

      Over throw America and create their socialist utopia….then a marxist dictatorship.
      History is your guide, it has worked many places and is working here.

    • Look at Seattle right now. The PD isn’t defunded yet but they’re forbidden riot control non-lethal weapons so the Chief refuses to send cops to engage antifa rioters.

    • They are just worried about their Marxists in the street. If it only saves one Marxist’s life ………

  3. Yup, makes sense to me! Encourage terrorists to take over your city, then make sure you and your neighbors have no way to defend yourselves. That’s what’s called natural selection!

    • Nah. Natural selection is when the police release a statement saying you’re on your own (Like Seattle right now)so you drill that third hole.

    • Typical Amish and their no-nonsense, wholesome lifestyle… 😉

  5. The un American Marxist Left is antithetical to the Constitution and the Republic. Rep. Gohmert has introduced a bill which should correct that,Rep. Gohmert Introduces Resolution To Ban Democratic Party.

    https://thespectator.info/2020/07/24/gop-rep-gohmert-introduces-resolution-to-ban-democratic-party/

    As the Marxist DemoCommies don’t care for a republican form of government, they do not have to be part of it. RINO’S should take note as well.

    If memory serves me correctly all representatives swore a oath to the Constitution as written. Anyone of them no matter the party they belong to, should be charged, tried and sentence as prescribed carried out.

    • GMB,

      I enjoyed reading about Gohmert’s ploy. But really, we are not like the Left; we preserve freedom of speech and association.

      What burns me is that the Justice Dept. has enough evidence to begin arresting those in the deep state that have been unsing illegal methods to sabotage Trump’s efforts since he became a candidate. Yet, no indictments, no arrests, the bad guys are skipping freely around the country, undermining the Constitution and selling us out to China.

      We can cripple the Dems and the Left, in general, by prosecuting the crimes they have committed.

      Just a thought.

      • Agreed,however I think Gohmert bill is to give the Demo Commies a taste of their own medicine.

        • Yeah, just trolling, but he’s making a point. If it gets reported on, maybe people will wonder why the democrats are somehow exempt from being canceled. Democrats have a long history in taking the lead in anti-black racism. Now they’re taking the lead in anti-white racism, antisemitism, and Christianophobia. Technically, they’re still very much anti-black racists, in the sense that they have continually abandoned their most loyal voters in the past fifty years.

      • The right has always been far too civil. The left fights dirty and get a away with it every time. At some point it’s going to come to a head. .

    • Right, create a single-party system. I’m sure there’s NO WAY that could possibly end poorly.

  6. “It’s your fault I’m assaulting you!”
    So the left thinks banning short skirts will stop rape, then?

  8. Those billionaires think they can control the rioters and protestors. Like little Jimmy thinks he can make the fire a just little bit bigger if he pours a splash of gasoline out of the can on it.

      • And have the radioactive survivors pour out into the conservative countryside expecting to be housed and fed?

        On behalf of those citizens –

        “Thanks. Thanks a lot…” /s 🙁

  10. Impeachment attempts failed and Nancy and Chuck are at their lowest. Nadler and the idiot will have secret witnesses in a hearing that won’t be heard but trust them President Trump is bad and he is doing all this.
    This is what occurs when citizens demand safety and gave up Rights. Trump should not send agents of government since this is states rights in action. Police and local government hope their immunity holds up and citizens will be holding the bag and pay for all the damage. Maybe they will want their Rights back now that they see first hand what occurs trading for safety and security. They will have to dismantle police departments and go back in time to a better way:run their own community and justice system.

    • Bob Wyman,

      The Federal Marshals/Agents in Seattle and Portland are protecting Federal properties. I think that means Trump did not send in forces to restore law and order city-wide. But, maybe I missed something.

  11. Ideology blinds. Left-wing politicians in Seattle and other places are allowing, even encouraging chaos, violence against people, destruction of property, and disruption of the local economy. When the mob attacks them or shows up at their home to threaten and vandalize property, those politicians still side with the mob.

    Are they convinced they will win elections this way?

    Are they so blinded by their ideology, that losing the next election cycle means nothing to them?

    Maybe they are just following orders issued much further up the Marxist food chain in the hope of a big payday.

    Or maybe, just maybe, this is a prelude to war, and they think they can win.

    • They don’t need to ‘win’.

      Simply collapsing the entire system will suit their desires quite nicely, since they have a plan for a ‘Brave, New World’ to replace it, where human misery is spread equally (except for the more equal than others).

      (Message brought to you by ‘The Ministry of Compassion and Tolerance of Others not like Themselves’).

      *snicker*…

  12. The mob is a pawn of Soros, Pelosi, Shumer and other lesser known Marxists. They are wanting more unrest and hope that someone gets killed by the police. They will blame the police, Trump and conservatives as racists and say we need to go. At the point when they consolidate power America will cease to exist as it was founded. Our forefathers little experiment will cease to exist.

  13. Let’s get some perspective here. Portland’s population, including the suburbs, is less than 3 million. The city itself is only 2/3 million. How many protesters are there? 100,000? 10,000? 1,000? How many of them are violent? 50%? 10%? 1%? While it truly sucks to encounter even a dozen rioters, I’m sure that, for at least 2 million Portland area residents, the riots don’t affect them personally. The same argument can be made about the 6,000 square miles of Greater Portland’s land area versus a few blocks of downtown City of Portland that have been vandalized.

  14. Everyone better get out the vote for 2020…Or $!#T with get real if “Potato-Head Joe Biden gets elected with his Anti-2nd Amendment, Gun and Weapons Czar/ Beta-Soy Cuck O ‘Roach…” Along wonderful DemoCommie Authoritarians like All Out of Correct (AOC), Schumer, Pelosi, The Clintons, etc…Do you want to ALL live through that nightmare! I guarantee you that Violent SJW ANTIFA-TARDS/BLM Global Marxist mobs will be the norm….May I make a suggestion…MAGA 2020 !!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  16. We’ll meet these people in the field eventually. I’m waiting to see what happens when they meet real resistance. They will bring out guns too but it won’t be a game any longer.
    Both sides are going to take losses and we’ll see if LE takes a side or not. In fact we’ll see whose sides people and organizations take. Losers are not going to see the kind of compassion in precious conflicts so it’s going to be particularly nasty.

    It would be nice to flee to a safe place and watch on TV but I don’t think there will be any refuge.

  17. Anti gun.

    Pro flaming projectiles, pipe bombs, kevlar/shields/riot gear, general violence.

  18. “Street thugs, using legitimate demonstrations as cover…”

    As things have gone on I have rejected this argument. At this point there are no “legitimate demonstrations” in my eyes. If a police department covers for the bad cops then the department is generally bad. You can’t claim the moral high-ground while looking the other way when your side acts in unethical ways.

    I apply that same rule here. If “legitimate demonstrations” exist then they should be assisting LE by pointing out, and even making citizen’s arrests of the violent fucktards or clearing out of the the area so they are not human shields, leaving the rioters high and dry.

    The fact that they don’t do these things could initially be written off the surprise and then as fear. However, at this point however, at best it’s tacit support for rioting and looting. At worst it’s actual support.

    Actual legitimate protest is as American as apple pie. I fully support such an exercise of free speech. When it crosses the line to engaging in or assisting in violence against innocent people, which IMHO it has, then I no longer support it. At that point I support you getting the everliving fuck bashed out of you.

    This isn’t what MLK worked for. This is counterproductive. The arguments advanced by the Left, even in major publications, at this point would be laughable if this wasn’t as serious as it is. These people are not “civil rights protesters”. They’re criminals and if they push it much farther they’re going to get shot dead in the street and deserve it.

    • It is actual support. I saw peaceful protestors vocally supporting the burning and looting. This was all over YouTube in various on the ground interviews from the beginning. I’ve even seen it on legitimate news interviews with activists. As soon as any protest turns violent, it’s time to shut it down. The problem is, the people in charge want it to be violent. There’s no denying it at this point.

    • “This isn’t what MLK worked for. This is counterproductive.”

      You’re taking this movement at face value. This has nothing to do with the advancement of race relations. That’s nothing but a guise designed to gain sympathy. It has everything to do with creating division, hatred, and chaos in order to dismantle American heritage and culture. If we no longer have a shared history and culture, then what do we have? Why do you think they’ve been promoting hatred of America?

      • Good morning Dude if’s nice to see you’ve awakened. I only hope that others will take your lead.

  21. “What’s next, blaming match companies for the arson at the Portland Police Association offices?

    Lmfao

  22. States rights, states rights, keep the feds out…Hmm, this sounds vaguely familiar…like what the Democrats in the South were saying before the Civil War.

    So history DOES repeat!

  23. So, a group opposed to supposed violence (“gun violence” they like to call it) chooses to side with an organization with violence as its root cause and purpose. That makes no sense, but hey: if your goal is to disarm law-abiding citizens through the use of violence…get READY to RUUUUUMMMMBBBBLLLLE!

  25. “The Alliance for Gun Responsibility, a billionaire-backed anti-gun rights group, claims “federal agents have descended on the city turning the largely peaceful protests against racism and police brutality into violent clashes.””

    This is an interesting quot, but I’d like to see the source and context. Can you please provide a link?
