BELLEVUE, WA – -(AmmoLand.com)- The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today declared there is a “hidden agenda” behind the impeachment efforts of House Democrats led by Nancy Pelosi and it is designed to tie up the U.S. Senate and derail efforts to confirm more pro-Second Amendment judges to the federal courts.
“It is clear to us that Capitol Hill anti-gunners are doing everything in their power to prevent confirmation of conservative judges who will adhere to the Constitution,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “By burdening the Senate with this nonsense, Democrats believe they can prevent confirmation of pro-Second Amendment judicial nominees during the final year of President Donald Trump’s first term.”
Gottlieb noted that the president is fulfilling perhaps his most important campaign pledge, which was to bring balance back to the federal courts. Restoring that balance could be the president’s greatest legacy, he said.
“The same people pushing impeachment have been staunch allies of the gun prohibition lobby,” Gottlieb observed. “Anti-gunners have been horrified since Day One of Donald Trump’s presidency that he was actually determined to rein in the activist federal court system by nominating judges who understand there are ten amendments in the Bill of Rights, and that the Second Amendment really means what it says.
“More than eleven years after the landmark 2008 Heller ruling and more than nine years after the 2010 McDonald decision,” he continued, “some courts still act as though neither of those Supreme Court rulings existed. But the president has been filling court vacancies with solid, intelligent jurists who understand the difference between regulated privileges and constitutionally-enumerated, fundamental rights. Capitol Hill anti-gunners and their gun prohibitionist friends can’t stand it, and they’re using the impeachment crusade as a smoke screen to distract the Senate from doing its duty.
“This isn’t about impeaching the president,” Gottlieb stated. “This is about impeaching our Second Amendment rights. I guarantee that American gun owners are going to remember this in 2020.”
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.
Bet you have not heard about this plan. The democrats developed a plan to impeach President Trump even before he took office and even before he spent one day in the white house. Please read this article which exposes the anti AMERICAN democrats for what they are. Hillary lost the election so like Kerry before her the democrats wanted revenge and planned to get the president impeached. Please forward.

Beat-o is no longer a matter of concern to us 2d Amendment supporters. He’s now on the trash heap of failed presidential dreamers. A man of large ego but little to offer. Good Riddance!
So nice to hear President Trump re-affirm his support for the 2d Amendment in his rally at Tupelo, MS last night.
We must remember, it is not just the 2nd amendment at stake. What would they do next? They want to destroy us, our country, our FREEDOM.All for power and greed! Everytime we have a democrat president we get sold out.
Meanwhile, ‘Hell Yes’ Beto had to quit the race today due to lack of interest. Donkeys are slow learners though so expect another loser to pick up and keep waving the bloody shirt.
The same people pushing impeachment are the ones who would disavow their oath of office and deprive every American of their GOD given, constitutionally protected rights to life, liberty, the pursuit of happyness, the right to self defense, the right to keep and bare arms, the right to peacefully assemble and voice your opinion etc.. By definition, this is treason. Their stated goals are those of socialism/communism and tyranny. I was a soldier, I fought AGAINST socialism, communism and terrorism. I took my oath to protect and defend America, the people and the constitution AGAINST ALL enemies foreign and domestic.… Read more »
In 2016, only 43% of conservatives voted. 57% were TOO BUSY to vote for freedom and the Constitution. In 2018, only 37% of conservatives voted. 63% were TOO BUSY to vote for freedom and the Constitution. DON’T tell me “gun owners are going to remember this in 2020.” What a load. Too many “gun owners” are too busy getting a dopamine rush from tapping on their phone, too busy watching basketball, too busy drinking beer and chomping Cheetos. The REAL Americans are in uniform and are being sent to die fighting for muslims who want to rule the world and… Read more »
