In 2015, the Seattle City Council pushed through the gun tax that has never come close to its revenue forecast. In 2018, the gun ban lobby rammed through Initiative 1639, which prohibits young adults from purchasing any kind of semiautomatic rifle and requires an \u201cenhanced\u201d background check and 10-day waiting period, plus proof of training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll of these restrictive gun control measures have only penalized law-abiding citizens,\u201d noted CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. \u201cAll three have failed miserably, and the time has come for the gun ban lobby to admit it and allow each of these bogus crime fighting tools to be repealed. Indeed, gun prohibitionists should fold their tents and go home in shame, because their anti-violence \u2018remedies\u2019 have proven to be nothing more than snake oil.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week, Seattle reportedly matched its 2019 homicide total. With four months remaining in the year, the body count for the city, and likely the rest of the state, will only go up. Law-abiding gun owners are not the problem, and restrictive gun control laws are not the solution, CCRKBA said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/why-ammo-gun-shortage-may-continue-for-foreseeable-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"seattle-homicide-count-more-proof-restrictive-gun-laws-failed\" title=\"Seattle Homicide Count More Proof Restrictive Gun Laws Failed\">Why Ammo, Gun Shortage May Continue for Foreseeable Future<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe gun prohibition lobby should apologize to Washington gun owners,\u201d Gottlieb said. \u201cNot only has the Alliance for Gun Responsibility pushed to disarm honest citizens, it also sides with violent protesters who want to defund police, and whose occupation of a Seattle neighborhood earlier this summer resulted in four non-fatal shootings and two homicides where the victims were both Black teens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen all of these laws were proposed,\u201d he recalled, \u201cwe predicted they wouldn\u2019t work, an we\u2019ve been proven right. Homicides have crept upwards over all of Washington state during the past few years. The billionaire-backed crusade against gun owners and their rights has been an unmitigated disaster. They\u2019ve given people a false sense of security while trampling on their rights. How many more must die before the anti-gun right extremists admit they\u2019ve been wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About SAF<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>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&#8217;s premier gun rights organizations.
