Obama Misses Target Deliberately With Anti-Gun Agenda, Says CCRKBA

BELLEVUE, Wash., Jan. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- President Barack Obama has deliberately missed the target with his proposed gun control scheme, announced today at the White House, because it is now clear he wants to blame law-abiding gun owners for the actions of criminals and madmen, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said.

"Suddenly Mr. Obama wants to get more criminal and mental health records into the NICS background check data base and get a permanent director for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms," observed CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. "Where has he been for the last four years?"

Gottlieb noted that these proposals have been suggested in the past and supported by the firearms community, but they have repeatedly fallen on deaf ears. But now, as he exploits the Sandy Hook school tragedy, these items are high on his anti-gun agenda.

"Perhaps he was too busy during his first term, while his administration was running thousands of assault rifles, millions of rounds of ammunition and countless high capacity magazines to violent criminals and drug cartel thugs through his administration's Fast & Furious program," Gottlieb observed. "Now he wants to take away our Second Amendment rights when he and his friends have put more assault weapons in the wrong hands than all of organized crime?"

"These firearms have been used not only to kill a Border Patrol agent, but also hundreds of people including women and children," he added. "This policy has resulted in more deaths and carnage than all the mass shootings in the United States in the last ten years.

"The measures being proposed by the president will not prevent a repeat of the Sandy Hook tragedy, and he knows it," Gottlieb continued. "The initials 'B. O.' stand for more than Barack Obama. They stand for the bad odor of his blame game."

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'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.
