BELLEVUE, WA – When perennially anti-gun Sen. Dick Durbin declared in a tweet to make gun control a “top priority” now that he chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, it was an unmistakable signal that Capitol Hill Democrats represent a danger to the Second Amendment, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.
Durbin, from Illinois, said in his Twitter message, “Today I had the chance to speak with a group of gun violence prevention advocates from across the country. I told them that reducing gun violence will be a top priority of the Senate Judiciary Committee. And I will never stop fighting for gun safety.”
“Joe Biden has been in office less than two weeks,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “and he is presiding over an effort by his party to literally crush rights guaranteed and protected by the Bill of Rights. Dick Durbin would not be making such a promise if he wasn’t certain the White House was giving him free rein to erode the Second Amendment into something we won’t recognize.
“Durbin’s hostility toward the Second Amendment is well known in the gun rights community,” he added. “He has a history of supporting extremist gun control legislation, so his threat to make gun control a priority must be taken seriously.

“It’s because of Durbin and other like-minded anti-gun Democrats that a major effort called ‘Gun Rights Outreach to Defeat Gun Control Overreach’ is attracting remarkable support,” Gottlieb noted.
“Democrats led by Durbin have been salivating over the damage they might do to the Second Amendment since the November election,” he warned. “They have made no secret of their intentions, and now Dick Durbin has essentially confirmed the threat to our right to keep and bear arms is genuine.
“All this means is that Durbin and his fellow Democrats are pulling out all the stops,” Gottlieb said. “After years of waiting, they believe this is the right moment to destroy the right to keep and bear arms in the guise of ‘gun safety,’ so a right belonging to all citizens becomes a privilege enjoyed by a few. Durbin’s priority is to enact Draconian gun control laws. Our priority as citizens must be to stop him.”

It has never been the type of firearm as evidenced by their ever evolving tyranny. First NFA of 1934, next the GCA of 1968, Brady Bill, Lautenberg Act (DV) abused which, as a misdemeanor, its subjective nature, and permanent loss of a constitutional right makes it as much abused as red flag laws. Justice Thomas stated this is the ONLY misdemeanor in US history to permanently take away a constitutional right and was not legal from enactment on, though not challenged for political reasons, “assault weapons / magazine ban. Democrats just want reasonable gun safety laws? Sure they do. Every gun control law EVER PASSED is a direct violation of the 2nd Amendment. It states ” will not be infringed”. There is no except for…
Little Dicky Turbin , is this the same piece of dog excrement that compared our troops to Nazi’s , and Pol Pot , fuck him and Illinois for continuing to re-elect this asshole.
If gun control Durbin’s state would be one of the safest states in the country, it’s not!
All I can say is the 2nd amendment says it all.This is or land not just there land.They work for us.Don’t THEY?????
Amazing how the Bill of Rights are ignored or minimalized, but the minority (LGBTQ, enviro whacko, gun haters)) view is given a seat at the table and allowed to dictate the direction.
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness is now I as the governing elite will tell you how to live. What liberties you have, and that you’ll be happy when I say you are happy.

The last time I checked our rights are endowed by the creator. The government does not give us our rights, it is there to protect our rights. ANY politician that forgets their power is derived from the people, should be removed immediately from office.
For those that don’t see a problem with gun control. Remember if we give an inch they will take a mile. Where does it stop? I guarantee it will not stop at the 2nd amendment! It will continue to the first, the all the way down the line until we are no longer a free people.
Think about it, The 4th and 5th will be removed making it so the government can come in our home at any time and take what they want, force us into self incrimination.
So with that i say “FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!!!!”
To be fair here, God didn’t give us the right to own guns. The constitution did. I’m a Christian and a gun owner, but you can’t say that the right to own a gun is from God. There are many countries around the world where that is not a given because they have a different governing document.
There are certain natural rights that can not be given or taken by a governing body. Endowed by our creator if you will.
Read the New Testament Gospels of the Last Supper where Jesus is telling his disciples what they must do different now. The one important statement is that “If you do not have a sword sell your cloak and buy one.” Jesus was telling his disciples that in the future they would have to defend themselves when he was gone. There were no firearms two thousand years ago only swords; therefore, God did not give us the right to own guns, but Jesus told us to acquire a sword.
Dear Mr. Durbin, I look forward to your ideas and leadership in this area. They both have have worked very well in Chicago. Your state has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country. Maybe more gun control is not the answer. Below are the statistics for 2020.

When a Drunk Driver kills someone – we don’t Ban Cars.
How hard is that concept (Responsibility) to understand ??
Responsibility:
Like Cars – Guns cant think or be responsible.
None of my several guns has Ever – Gotten up, gone out and shot Anyone.
Why don’t the dems/commies go after the real cause of crime ? The criminal and their willing to plea bargain so they can get some kind of convection ?
Is it that it is easier to go after the law abiding American than the criminals ?
Or is the real reason they want to disarm Americans just like a well known evil person did in Germany ?
Or are they afraid of armed Patriots ?
Because it is about disarmament always has been wake up!
Because the tactic is anarcho-tyranny. Law Enforcement- as defined and codified by bigoted corporate Left politicians as Durbin, Biden, Cuomo, Pritzger, Brown, Adams, Swalwell, Cortez, Tlaib and Pelosi- does not address the growing proliferation of stolen and straw-purchased weapons in the Mestizo barrios and black ghettos, but instead goes after easy targets by using fake news and focus group hysteria to target those in the mainstream of society- predominately white suburbanites and whites in rural areas.
Traitors like Xiden, heels-up, piglosi, scummer, Turbun are why the founders put the 2A in the Bill of Rights. They should be afraid. Soon enough and once again, we’ll be fighting for the constitution and our individual rights. Be prepared, my friends.
Time for another civil war.
Yes it is.
A more apt first name cannot be had.
