BELLEVUE, WA — The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today condemned the attack on Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in their San Francisco residence, and offered sincere hopes for a swift and complete recovery for Mr. Pelosi.
“News reports say the suspect assaulted Mr. Pelosi with a hammer, which should preclude any effort by Speaker Pelosi’s Democrat colleagues to exploit this horrible incident for the purpose of advancing their extremist gun control agenda,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “This is the kind of violent crime against which average citizens, including Speaker Pelosi’s constituents, must be prepared to defend themselves on a daily basis in an environment where the far left has pushed ‘defund-the-police’ efforts and adopted policies which have allowed dangerous individuals to roam our streets and neighborhoods.
The attempt to twist the Paul Pelosi attack into a broader story about supposed extremism in Republican rhetoric (so vote Dem!) is so transparently opportunistic and pathetic. Everyone can see what you're doing, Democrats and the media, and it's disgusting.

“Tens of millions of law-abiding citizens have chosen to exercise their constitutionally-protected Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms to defend themselves and their loved ones against such depravity,” he continued. “While the authorities have not yet established a motive for this attack, the incident underscores the fact that no citizen, regardless their place of residence or financial status, is immune from violent crime.

“It is cases like this which demonstrate the foolishness of efforts to restrict the rights of honest citizens to own and even carry firearms for their personal protection,” Gottlieb said. “When someone—including Mr. Pelosi—is attacked in their own home, or in a public place, even on a sidewalk, by someone wielding a hammer or other potentially deadly weapon, that person has an absolute right to defend himself or herself. In a situation like this, a gun beats a hammer every time.”

Sick of the lame streat Orwellian fake press!!!
Most criminals are not stupid. They have sense enough to attack targets that are unlikely to be able to defend themselves and given that the Pelosi family is vehemently opposed to firearms the criminal’s choice to attack Paul Pelosi with a hammer would make sense to such a criminal.
If he’d had a simple pocket pistol even in 22 LR caliber, it’s likely the criminal would have been deterred at the very least and shot and in the hospital or dead instead of Paul being nearly killed.
I hope they catch the criminal who did this heinous crime and that Paul makes a full recovery.
Paul’s illegal alien lover was caught, he was at the door, wiith Paul, when the cops arrived.
Already talking about more security…..who needs hi-caoacity security? Just buy a gun that holds less than 7 rounds and diy it like the rest of us unimportant schmucks!!!
