'Biden Knows Gun
Bans Unconstitutional'

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms has issued a scathing rebuttal to President Joe Biden’s demand late in his State of the Union speech that Congress enact stricter gun control laws, including a ban on so-called “assault weapons” and “high-capacity magazines.”

Biden insisted “These laws don’t infringe on the Second Amendment.”

That is simply not true, said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. He called Biden’s comment the president’s “biggest fib of the night.”

“Crusading to disarm law-abiding citizens hasn’t saved a single life in this country,” Gottlieb said. “Banning commonly-owned firearms definitely violates the Constitution, and Biden knows it.”

Larry Kean, senior vice president and general counsel of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, also criticized Biden’s remarks about guns and the firearms industry. Writing an Op-Ed response to Biden’s State of the Union address, Keane accused the president and his speechwriters of “knowingly lying to the American people to peddle more gun control.”

“It’s a tale as old as time,” Keane stated. “If President Joe Biden is giving a major speech, he’s going to lie about the firearm industry and the Second Amendment.” .....
