CCRKBA: KING COUNTY, WA GUN MURDERS, SHOOTINGS PROVE ANTI-GUNNERS LIED<\/a><\/p>\n

BELLEVUE, WA \u2013 Monday\u2019s \u201cShots Fired\u201d report from the King County (WA) Prosecutor\u2019s Office on the number of gun-related homicides and injuries last year is more proof that gun control laws and anti-rights initiatives adopted over the past few years in Washington State have been abject failures, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today in reaction.<\/p>\n

\u201cProponents of these laws, and especially the gun control initiatives passed in recent years, sold the public a bill of goods, and now everybody knows it,\u201d said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. \u201cVoters were told in 2014 that Initiative 594 would reduce gun-related violence, and today\u2019s data proves they were misled. Four years later, the Seattle-based gun prohibition lobby promised Initiative 1639 would prevent gun-related homicides, and they lied again. In Olympia, anti-gun politicians are pushing more gun restrictions right now, with the same promises.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe billionaire-backed gun prohibition lobby and their allies in Olympia claim that so-called \u2018gun violence\u2019 is an epidemic,\u201d he said. \u201cFrankly, the intellectual dishonesty of the gun control crowd is the real public health crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

King County authorities reported Monday that 88 people were murdered and another 372 were wounded in shootings last year. Law enforcement agencies in the county reported a startling 1,405 shooting incidents, surpassing the 1,025 posted in 2020.<\/p>\n

Gottlieb opposed both initiatives, and he has been an outspoken critic of other gun laws pushed through the Legislature. CCRKBA\u2019s national headquarters are in Bellevue, just east of Seattle. A check of the FBI annual Uniform Crime Reports shows the number of murders in Washington, and especially Seattle, have gone steadily upwards since the current gun control crusade started eight years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe warned the public these gun control schemes were wishful thinking at best,\u201d Gottlieb said. \u201cThe data provides all the evidence necessary to say anti-gun-rights initiatives and legislation have amounted to snake oil, giving the public a false sense of security while their rights are being steadily eroded.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of pushing more restrictions like they\u2019re doing right now,\u201d he said, \u201cit is time for gun control zealots to admit they\u2019ve been wrong all along. Extremist gun control has failed miserably for Evergreen State citizens, and the rising body counts prove it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
