CCRKBA: TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT PROVES GUN CONTROL DOESN\u2019T WORK<\/a><\/p>\n

BELLEVUE, WA \u2013 The arrest of a man in connection with an alleged assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump in Florida has elicited calls from several sources for more gun control, but the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says the incident actually provides more evidence that gun control laws simply don\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

The suspect, identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, has been charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. Various published reports say he has \u201can extensive criminal record\u201d with more than 100 criminal counts filed against him when he lived in North Carolina, and he has a felony conviction for possession of stolen property. He is also known to have made political donations to Democrat campaigns.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat this case shows is that someone with evil intentions will find a way to get his hands on a firearm,\u201d said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. \u201cReports that the serial number of the rifle recovered by police had been filed off indicate the suspect knew what he was doing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know from various reports this man appears to have violated several existing gun control laws,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust as important,\u201d Gottlieb continued, \u201cis that this case also reinforces the notion that our criminal justice system, rather than the country\u2019s gun control laws, is what needs to be reformed. With this guy\u2019s reported criminal history, he should not have had a firearm. But guess what? Gun laws have never stopped someone determined to commit mayhem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gottlieb is pleased that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has promised an investigation by authorities in the Sunshine State, which could yield more valuable information about the suspect, and how he was able to get so close to the former president.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis sort of thing should never happen even once,\u201d Gottlieb observed. \u201cBut now it has happened to Donald Trump twice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
