BELLEVUE, WA – The fear assault in a Magdeburg, Germany public market killing 5 individuals and injuring 200 extra proved as soon as once more that restrictive gun management hardly ensures public security towards decided acts of homicide and mayhem anyplace on the earth, the Residents Committee for the Proper to Hold and Bear Arms stated.
CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb stated the vacation season assault was paying homage to the murderous outrage in July 2016 towards individuals celebrating Bastille Day in Good, France. There, 86 individuals have been killed and plenty of extra injured by a madman driving a stolen freight truck via a crowd. Add to that the 2021 rampage in Waukesha, Wisconsin when a deranged profession felony drove an SUV right into a crowd watching a Christmas parade, killing six individuals and injuring 62 others, he recalled.
“Repeatedly we’ve warned that limiting the rights of law-abiding residents is a bogus resolution to violent crime, whether or not on a mass scale or a person act,” Gottlieb noticed. “Disarming trustworthy, peaceful individuals solely creates the harmful phantasm that one thing has been completed to guard the general public, and the gun prohibition foyer is aware of it. Their curiosity has by no means been lowering crime, however solely discouraging and lowering personal gun possession.
“In latest days,” he continued, “we’ve additionally seen information reviews about deadly stabbings in Azusa, California, Miami, Florida and Seattle, Washington. A couple of days in the past, a lady in New Jersey was allegedly bludgeoned to demise. In Philadelphia, a lady was strangled over the weekend. A lady on a New York subway was set on hearth and burned to demise, allegedly by an unlawful alien who was as soon as deported throughout the Trump administration.
“I name consideration to those crimes,” Gottlieb defined, “as a result of they illustrate how people are liable for felony violence, not the instrument they use. Whether or not individuals use weapons, knives, blunt objects, automobiles, cigarette lighters or naked fingers, it’s the perpetrator who’s finally liable for their evil acts, and shifting blame to the weapon neither solves the issue nor prevents one other, related crime from occurring an hour, day or month later. We don’t attempt to limit possession of motor automobiles, knives, hammers, baseball bats, lighters or some other object which can be utilized as a weapon. Solely firearms, that are constitutionally protected.
“Proscribing the suitable to maintain and bear arms, which is protected by the federal and state constitutions is a flimsy sham that’s sporting thinner by the day,” he concluded, “and incidents like these in Magdeburg, Waukesha, Good, Miami, Philadelphia, New York and Seattle solely show that time.”
