Gun Rights Group To Bondi: Target 2A Violations in 12 Specific States
Gun Rights Group To Bondi: Target 2A Violations in 12 Specific States
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. 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.
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. 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. All of these states have adopted laws in recent years
which have essentially relegated Second Amendment rights to the level of government-regulated privileges.
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.
I would be delighted to provide any assistance or input you may need, and can only wish you Godspeed in your
endeavor.
Sincerely,
