Gavin Newsom have predictably reacted like vultures in the aftermath of the terrible mass shooting incident in Maine to push gun control schemes which would not have prevented the outrage, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms stated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cGov. Newsom is demanding adoption of a waiting period in Maine,\u201d said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, \u201cand President Biden wants \u2018universal background checks\u2019 and safe storage laws, and both of them know none of these proposals would have prevented what happened Wednesday evening. They\u2019ve pounced like craven political opportunists in hopes of using this tragedy to stir up public emotions in an effort to push gun restrictions they\u2019ve been promoting for years.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cBiden has wanted to ban semiautomatic rifles for years,\u201d Gottlieb continued, \u201cwhen he knows rifles of <i>any kind<\/i> are involved in a fraction of murders, and he also knows there are millions of law-abiding owners of such firearms who have harmed nobody. Why should honest citizens be penalized for the rampage of one clearly disturbed individual with documented mental health issues?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_528401\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-528401\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-528401 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AP22137619327787-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Biden confused lost\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AP22137619327787-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AP22137619327787-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AP22137619327787-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AP22137619327787-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AP22137619327787-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AP22137619327787-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AP22137619327787-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AP22137619327787-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AP22137619327787-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AP22137619327787-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AP22137619327787-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AP22137619327787-560x373.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-528401\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">President Joe Biden (AP Photo\/Andrew Harnik)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe president also wants to repeal the federal law protecting gun manufacturers from junk lawsuits,\u201d he added, \u201cwhich has absolutely nothing to do with this case and he knows it. Joe Biden is throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks, which is what anti-gunners do every time there is a tragedy upon which they might capitalize. It is a disgusting process we have seen time and again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cMeanwhile,\u201d he noted, \u201cmedia reports show many local residents immediately armed themselves, such as Lewiston Councilman Robert McCarthy, who told a CNN reporter \u2018We locked the doors. We grabbed the guns.\u2019 Other reports revealed local residents who did not have firearms said they wished they had guns. Biden\u2019s gun control schemes would keep those people disarmed.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThis is deplorable political posturing,\u201d Gottlieb stated. \u201cBiden, Newsom and other gun prohibitionists are dragging out the same tired agenda which they have always proposed. They have simply repackaged it with the events in Lewiston, Maine, which is a disgusting exploitation of a horrible crime.
