BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) condemns Wednesday’s cowardly attack at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis in which a killer who apparently went by two names, the result of his court filing to change his gender identity, murdered two children before taking his own life.
At the same time, CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb said he is “disgusted, but not surprised” with the swiftness anti-gunners displayed by calling for gun control in a state which already has adopted gun laws that were pushed by the gun prohibition lobby on the grounds they would prevent such tragedies. These include, but are not limited to, “expanded background checks” and bans on guns in schools, which failed to prevent Wednesday’s tragedy.
“It came as no surprise to see anti-gun-rights stalwarts Senator Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries try to blame guns rather than the deranged individual who perpetrated this outrage,” Gottlieb said. “There are hundreds of thousands of Minnesota gun owners who have harmed nobody, but who invariably are penalized by default because they exercise their rights under both the state and federal constitutions.
“The killer reportedly used a rifle, shotgun and handgun,” Gottlieb noted, “yet Schumer and Jeffries are demanding that so-called ‘weapons of war’ should be banned. Apparently, they’re suggesting that all guns are weapons of war, and therefore should be banned, which is what they’ve been wanting all along.
“We are certain to hear many more details about the shooter in the days ahead,” he continued, “but it is unlikely the gun control crowd will ever acknowledge their restrictive measures didn’t work, because they couldn’t possibly work, and tragedies like this prove it. There is nothing ‘common sense’ about restricting the rights of law-abiding citizens while leaving schools and places of worship vulnerable to horrific, inexplicable acts of such viciousness.
“The monster responsible for Wednesday’s mayhem followed an all-too-familiar pattern of apparently taking his own life,” Gottlieb observed. “He has escaped punishment, at least in this life, and there is no reason for anti-gunners to propose any sanctions against the state’s law-abiding gun owners just because they need a whipping boy, and to create the illusion they are ‘doing something’ to prevent such crimes.
“Our thoughts and prayers are for the victims of this tragedy,” he concluded, “while our good sense tells us to remain vigilant against those who would shamelessly exploit the acts of one individual in their ongoing effort to deprive honest Minnesotans of their rights.”

You can remove all of the guns you want, but the ones that have a problem like this, that individual will find other ways to create the same horrendous act and loss.
A question just crossed my mind: “does this state and area have very strict gun laws?” I all most bet it does.
Over a hundred rounds fired by the killer into the kids. One teacher with a gun or one church goers with a concealed weapon could have saved children. Either shot him or forced him into a defensive posture instead of giving him an unmolested 5 or 6 minutes to keep shooting.
Huh? I know it was the Woke crap!!!! What a bunch of babies with their diapers filled
This is a great reminder for our society… People who undergo gender transition are mentally unstable and sick. They also take some powerful drugs. As such, they should never have access to or be able to purchase ANY type of Firearm. It is the same as a drunk person driving a car!
