And he is constantly disingenuous about it. Even the anti-gun-rights <em>Washington Post <\/em>has called Biden out for lying about guns by giving him multiple Pinocchio awards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre issued a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.miragenews.com\/statement-from-white-house-press-secretary-895361\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"biden-administration-exploits-uva-slayings-with-dishonest-call-for-assault-weapons-ban\" title=\"Biden Administration Exploits UVA Slayings with Dishonest Call for 'Assault Weapons' Ban\">statement<\/a> in which she blatantly politicized the triple slaying that took the lives of Devin Chandler, D\u2019Sean Perry and Lavel Davis, Jr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToo many families across America are bearing the awful burden of gun violence,\u201d the statement said. \u201cEarlier this year, President Biden signed the most significant gun safety law in nearly three decades, in addition to taking other historic actions. But we must do more. We need to enact an assault weapons ban to get weapons of war off America\u2019s streets. House Democrats acted, and the Senate should follow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/no-shoot-zone-activist-killed-by-police-after-holding-woman-at-knifepoint\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"biden-administration-exploits-uva-slayings-with-dishonest-call-for-assault-weapons-ban\" title=\"Biden Administration Exploits UVA Slayings with Dishonest Call for 'Assault Weapons' Ban\">\u2018No Shoot Zone\u2019 Activist Killed by Police After Holding Woman at Knifepoint<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis horrible crime had absolutely nothing to do with so-called \u2018assault weapons,\u2019 and the White House knows it,\u201d Gottlieb said. \u201cThe statement, which the president had to have approved, amounts to a crass exploitation of a tragedy in a deplorable effort to advance Joe Biden\u2019s gun ban agenda. He has fully embraced the despicable tactic of never letting a crisis go to waste, no matter how awful the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI cannot imagine, or maybe I just don\u2019t want to, the kind of thought process that compels Biden or any other gun grabber to be so callous,\u201d he stated. \u201cIt\u2019s almost like a Freudian reflex for the Biden bunch to call for an \u2018assault weapons\u2019 ban regardless of the actual facts. Joe Biden has a one-track mind when it comes to guns, and he\u2019s been off the rails for years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA president that constantly lies about guns only further divides our nation,\u201d Gottlieb said, \u201cand severely diminishes the chances of actually solving the problem of violent crime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About CCRKBA <\/strong><\/p>\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. As a non-profit organization, the Citizens Committee is dedicated to preserving firearms freedoms through active lobbying of elected officials and facilitating grass-roots organization of gun rights activists in local communities throughout the United States.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">**<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;We need to enact an assault weapons ban to get weapons of war off America\u2019s streets.
