And people are getting tired of far-left politics that trample on fundamental rights, especially the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvidently,\u201d Gottlieb observed, \u201cthe gun control crowd learned nothing from Michael Bloomberg\u2019s disastrous presidential campaign, which revolved around his extremist gun control agenda. He spent more than $300 million and finished last, and that was among Democrat primary voters, nobody else. Now Bloomberg\u2019s Everytown is planning to spend $60 million to flip Congress and state legislatures this fall, electing more anti-gunners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGarcia won on a campaign promoting American values, including the Second Amendment,\u201d he added. \u201cThose ideals seem foreign to the gun ban bunch, which thinks the constitution is for sale to people with the most money. Garcia\u2019s victory this week proves otherwise, and it\u2019s a warning that gun control is not the winning proposition far-left Democrats think it is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGarcia\u2019s victory is also a message to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, that her party\u2019s gun grabbing agenda could cost them the House this fall,\u201d Gottlieb stated. \u201cShe couldn\u2019t even protect a Democrat seat in her own state, which should raise alarms with vulnerable Democrats in other districts all over the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd Joe Biden should also be worried,\u201d Gottlieb concluded, \u201cbecause his anti-gun-rights agenda is not going to play well in the critical battleground states, where voters are tired of being attacked by politicians like Biden who want to take away their rights.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CCRKBA SAYS GARCIA VICTORY WAS WARNING TO ANTI-GUN LOBBY BELLEVUE, WA \u2013 The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today congratulated Republican Congressman-elect Mike Garcia for winning election over anti-gun-rights Democrat Christy Smith, and said the victory should serve as a warning to the gun prohibition lobby that their big bucks &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/?p=54840\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","category-rkba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=54840"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54840\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":54841,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54840\/revisions\/54841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=54840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=54840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=54840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
