We reported recently that Attorney General Pam Bondi, in response to President Donald Trump’s executive order to investigate infringements on 2A rights, has formed a Second Amendment Enforcement Task Force to protect the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.
“This task force will continue the Department’s ongoing work to implement Executive Order 14206 and protect the fundamental right secured by the Second Amendment,” Bondi said in announcing the effort. “The Task Force is principally charged with developing and executing strategies to use litigation and policy to advance, protect, and promote compliance with the Second Amendment.”
Now, one gun rights group is giving Bondi some good suggestions on where she should start focusing her new task force’s efforts.
On April 14, Alan M. Gottlieb, chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA), wrote a letter to Bondi thanking her for forming the task force and proposing some particular states on which to focus.
“It was with great pleasure that the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms received word April 8 about the formation of the Second Amendment Task Force,” Gottlieb wrote. “Please accept my personal congratulations on what I see as a bold, and long overdue, move by the Department of Justice to protect one of our most important Constitutional rights, and the cornerstone of our Bill of Rights.”
Gottlieb continued by suggesting Bondi’s task force begin by taking a close look at a dozen different states where anti-gun leaders have greatly infringed on the Second Amendment rights of their citizens.
“As you may know, the Citizens Committee is one of the nation’s largest grassroots organizations, with affiliate organizations in most states and members and supporters in every state,” Gottlieb wrote. “That being the case, I would like to suggest that among the Task Force’s priorities might be to examine the patterns of egregious Second Amendment violations in the states of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon and Washington.”
Most Truth About Guns readers likely recognize those states as among the most anti-gun in the nation. And, as Gottlieb pointed out, they are also the target of frequent lawsuits by a number of different gun rights organizations.
“All of these states have adopted laws in recent years which have essentially relegated Second Amendment rights to the level of government-regulated privileges,” Gottlieb wrote. “Our sister organization, the Second Amendment Foundation, has been involved in litigation challenging gun control laws in nearly all of those states, and the Citizens Committee has joined SAF in lawsuits, most recently in Maryland and Washington.”
Bondi has said that she will chair the task force, and the associate attorney general will serve as the vice chair. Other members of the task force will include representatives from Bondi’s personal staff, the Office of the Deputy Attorney General, the Office of the Associate Attorney General, the Office of the Solicitor General, the Civil Division, the Civil Rights Division, the Criminal Division, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
I believe Trump’s kids play a part in this. I’ll believe when Bondi “does something” to an obese ILL annoy governor.🙄Kudos CCRKBA.
“Does something to…” That made me laugh. But you’re right, and in my email to President trump this week, I told him that the American people need to see arrests and prosecutions, because without accountability, the violent liberal democrat party will just do all the same things all over again. Maybe starting with Covid 2.0, since that worked so well for them the last time.
The fake Dr. Fauxi should have faced a firing squad for what he did to America. Instead, he got retirement, a bag of gold, and a pardon. Frickin’ bridge troll.
Jesse Kelly says on his radio show/podcast that voting for democrat demons is an evil act. I think he’s right.
At this point probably trying to set up a situation where Trump defies the courts to go for the impeachment route……. again.
That’s exactly what they’re doing on the immigration/deportation front.
Oddly I think that will not play out in their favor. The Trump admin seems more disciplined this go around. With that said fake pandemic or fake war/terror event are always on the table.
If they get the House, he’s getting impeached.
Well that’s a given regardless of the reason. Probably just trying to sucker a rino into going along with a pretext for now.
You can’t spell Fauxi without Xi.
Is being ignorant an evil act? Not necessarily.
Who would have thought that the Civil Rights Division should work to enforce our civil rights?
While Bondi/Trump are doing their thing others are doing things too…

And that’s precisely what we need to do: Appeal to people of all backgrounds.
The video you linked did a good job of teaching some history, all within a compact period of time.
And the presenter is 100% correct: Once a people loses the right to bear arms, they NEVER get it back. And then they can vote as often as they like, they can vote 100% in favor of this-or-that, and they can vote 100% against this policy or that person, but if they have GIVEN UP their right to bear arms, well then their vote is completely worthless.
Remember, Swalwell wanted to nuke American Citizens! Joe Biden tried to force us all to get an unproven vaccine. The FBI rounded up people and made them “disappear”, in exactly the same way that democrats today want to make us believe that Donald Trump can “disappear” them. Just today, I heard a story about a guy who was disallowed from withdrawing his money from a bank to buy a dirtbike for his son in the UK. He was declined because the person at the bank said his purchase was “unsafe”. And we all know about the truckers in Canada. It’s kind of hard to bring money home to your family when your government stops your debit card from working, and stops your company from depositing your pay into your bank account. Nobody carries a thousand dollars in their pocket for their truck’s next refueling…so without money, you’re not going to get very far in your truck.
Without the right to bear arms, your government can do ANYTHING it wants to you. It can make you get a vaccine. It can make your bank void your access to the financial system. It can take your kidney. It can take your child’s heart and lungs. It can take away your wife and make her bear somebody ELSE’s children. And yes, your government can imprison, maim, or kill you just because you’re the “wrong” color or ethnic background.
Never give up your rights. There ARE things worse than death.
Until there are penalties levied against the infringers personally nothing will change.
Unfortunately
I wrote to the President yesterday to express this very same thought.
America needs to start seeing arrests, prosecutions, sentences handed down, and imprisonments. In some cases, I believe the behaviors were bad enough to be able to be proven traitorous. I am not in favor of life in prison sentences for people who committed traitorous acts against the country.
I look forward to finding out who is the person actually guilty for opening the borders to the invasion of illegals. They allowed our country to be attacked by violent criminals, and so I think the death penalty should be on the table for the person at the top. And we all know it was not Joe Biden.
Well I guess when the Supreme Court can’t figure out what Shall Not Be Infringed means create a Task Force.
Yeah that’ll fix it.
Yes things have been fucked for over a century, welcome to the fight we are a bit behind.
The word now is that the Dems have GOP support at the national level for a copy of Colorado’s SB25-003 at the federal level post FSU shooting.
Guess we might find out who the real traitors are.
Meanwhile, Colorado’s passed more gun control targeting FFLs and has yet more in the pipe. Expect those to start showing up at the Federal level too.
I guess I’d like a better idea of what the “taskforce” might actually recommend that DOJ do about these things.
The one thing you have to give the Dems is that when they’re in power they actually do things. They’re bad things, but they’re things and they are done.
The GOP on the other hand, gets into power and never does a damn thing, unless it’s funding whatever the Dems did.
Invading Afghanistan and Iraq was a pretty big use of power. That was doing something. Then there was expanding the government and the security state. Both parties were always willing to work hand in hand to spit on and destroy the middle class.
The “middle class” is being destroyed in two ways: those too lazy to move into the upper class, and those who are industrious enough to achieve “upper class” status.
Personally, I had at least three opportunities to break into “upper class” (though lower “upper class”), but i prefered a job that was safe, and allowed me to be home in time to watch Oprah.
Hah, Oprah; the opiate of the poor.
Then there’s the whole destroying good paying jobs/wage theft/decreasing buying power things, all of which just happened to enrich the upper class. I’m sure it was an accident that our dear leaders are trying to rectify. “Oops.”
I was generally referring to domestic use of power, but point taken.
I know what you mean. R’s get into power, and they want to increase military spending and conserve whatever progressives implemented 15 years prior. Anything beyond that would be upsetting the norms and impolite. Meanwhile Dems get some power, and they constantly move the ball forward. No wonder Trump has been such a shock to the system.
Why is that? I think it’s because the DC Republicans got what they wanted (money and power). The truth is, most of them didn’t care what their constituents wanted. They never really cared about the 2A. They were never really pro-life. They had no interest in securing the border. That was a game they played. They have more in common with DC Dems than they have with their constituents back home. I don’t think it’s that Democrats care that much about their constituents. I think they just happen to have common goals. Destroy America for fun and profit.
I would generally agree with your statements here.
If you want to get all nuanced and stuff, the discussion of Neocons comes up. As I’ve pointed out before, if you trace their actual lineage they go back to the Fabians of yesteryear.
The fact that a person expresses a desire to own a firearm should be de facto proof that individual should be barred from purchasing, or possessing a firearm.
No guns, no gun crime. Well, not in good places where good people congregate. People who live in bad places should not expect bad things to not happen. “Power to the people” (who have means to avoid, or be protected from, bad people and their bad behavior).
“The fact that a person expresses a desire to be a politician should be de facto proof that individual should be barred from becoming a politician.”
“The fact that a person expresses a desire to disarm the populace should be de facto proof that individual should be barred from disarming the populace. Or from owning their own firearms.”
Fixed it for ya, and even gave an alternative option! 😉
“Fixed it for ya, and even gave an alternative option! 😉”
Options, options? We doan need no stinkin’ options. UR just an old meany.
How about encouraging that gun grabber Bondi to resign.
