The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) might not be directly involved in the new lawsuit challenging California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Glock ban, but the organization’s leaders still had some choice words for arguably America’s most anti-gun governor.
On October 14, CCRKBA posted a news item to its website in which it weighed in on the unconstitutional law, the new lawsuit and on Gov. Newsom personally.
The lawsuit, Jaymes v. Bonta, was filed on October 13 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California by the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC).
Under the new law, AB 1127, California firearm dealers will be prohibited from selling a broad class of popular and constitutionally protected semi-automatic handguns, including Glocks. It specifically bans the sale of “…any semi-automatic pistol with a cruciform trigger bar that can be readily converted by hand or with common household tools…into a machinegun by the installation or attachment of a pistol converter as a replacement for the slide’s backplate without any additional engineering, machining, or modification of the pistol’s trigger mechanism.”
“These handguns are in common use; indeed, they are among the most popular firearms in the nation,” the plaintiffs argue. If the law takes effect, Californians “will have no practical way to acquire them”—a direct violation of the Second Amendment.
CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb said Newsom ignored earlier court rulings in signing the measure into law.
“The court has already held that several provisions of the UHA (Unsafe Handgun Act) likely violate the Second Amendment,” Gottlieb observed, “but instead of taking a hint from the court, Gov. Newsom has doubled down because of what can best be described as a case of handgun derangement syndrome by signing this new legislation. This new ban is flagrantly unconstitutional, and Newsom must know it.”
Gottlieb said Democrats in Sacramento evidently “didn’t get the memo” from the U.S. Supreme Court that the Second Amendment is not a second-class right.
He also accused Newsom and Democrats in the legislature of being determined to play a game of “one-upmanship” with the courts and the constitution.
“This may be a game for Newsom and the Democrats in Sacramento, but defending the Second Amendment rights of California gun owners is not a game,” Gottlieb said. “This is not some kind of sporting match for Newsom’s amusement. You don’t fight crime by restricting the rights of peaceable, law-abiding citizens. We’re going to closely monitor this legal action, and based on previous results, we expect the court to act decisively.”
A few days ago I posted about the irony of Antifa claiming they were “true Americans”. When John Schussler then asked, “What looting, bombings, or beatings are you referring to?”, I was shocked. I thought everyone was up to speed on those activities. Apparently, there are some information bubbles that sufficiently insulate people from reality.
The data is so overwhelming that I can’t imagine the legacy media does not know the truth. They are blatantly lying if they say Antifa is peaceful or does not exist as an organization. The people who believe the lies are, at best, willfully ignorance.
Here are some of the evidence links I found:

I highly recommend Andy Ngo’s book, Unmasked.
See also what Jonathon Turley has to say about them.
Turley has also written a book on them which I was not aware of until today.
I gave the listed links above to Copilot and asked for a blog post with citations supporting my assertion. This is the result:
Documented Criminal Acts Attributed to Antifa: A Summary of Reported Incidents
In recent years, Antifa-affiliated individuals and cells have been implicated in a range of criminal activities across the United States, including looting, bombings, assaults, and attacks on law enforcement. While Antifa is not a centralized organization, its decentralized networks and ideological cohesion have led to coordinated actions that, in several cases, escalated into violence. Below is a summary of documented incidents drawn from news reports, federal indictments, and investigative journalism.
1. Firebomb Ambush on Police in Atlanta
On March 5, 2023, a group of masked Antifa militants launched a coordinated ambush on police officers at the construction site of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center.
According to journalist Andy Ngo, the attackers used explosives, firebombs, and rocks, injuring officers and setting construction equipment ablaze. The incident was widely reported and documented with video evidence on social media platforms.
2. Looting in Austin, Texas
Three individuals identified as Antifa members were arrested for looting a Target store in Austin during a protest. The Travis County District Attorney’s office confirmed their affiliation and charged them with burglary and theft. Fox 7 Austin reported that the suspects were part of a broader protest that devolved into property destruction and theft.
3. Attack on ICE Facility in Texas
In a federal indictment unsealed in 2023, the Department of Justice charged two men affiliated with a North Texas Antifa cell for attacking an ICE facility. The indictment alleges that the men used incendiary devices and coordinated the attack as part of a broader anti-government agenda. The case underscores the federal government’s concern over violent extremism linked to Antifa ideology.
4. Assaults on Federal Officers in Portland
During the height of the 2020 protests in Portland, Oregon, four individuals were charged with assaulting federal law enforcement officers. The Justice Department detailed how the defendants used projectiles, including explosives and rocks, to breach federal property and injure officers. These incidents were part of a series of nightly confrontations that often involved self-identified Antifa participants.
5. Explosives and Riots at ICE Building in Portland
Fox News reported that rioters breached an ICE building in Portland using explosives and rocks, injuring officers and causing significant property damage. The report noted that many of the participants wore Antifa insignia and coordinated their actions through encrypted messaging platforms.
6. Investigative Reporting and Firsthand Documentation
Independent journalists such as Andy Ngo and Wiretap Media have extensively documented Antifa-related violence through firsthand footage, interviews, and social media posts. Ngo’s book Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy compiles years of investigative work, detailing incidents of beatings, arson, and organized attacks on government institutions.
Conclusion
While Antifa is often described as a loosely organized movement, the documented incidents above suggest that its adherents have, in multiple cases, engaged in coordinated criminal violence. These actions have targeted law enforcement, government facilities, and private property, often under the guise of protest. The evidence presented here underscores the need for continued scrutiny and legal accountability for violent extremism, regardless of political affiliation.

The single shot that killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s last week upended decades of the gun control debate.
As high-profile shootings piled up, activists said the solution lay in background checks and bans on semi-automatic AR-style assault weapons, high-capacity magazines and 3D-printed firearms.
But authorities said the shot that killed Mr. Kirk came from a Mauser bolt-action rifle chambered in .30-06 caliber — a classic hunting gun and the type of weapon that had previously been immune from the gun control debate.
“As usual, the Democrats wasted no time before weaponizing the assassination of Second Amendment advocate Charlie Kirk to promote their unconstitutional gun-grabbing agenda,” said Aidan Johnston, director of federal affairs for Gun Owners of America. “But the murder weapon is a sporterized, Mauser Gewehr 98 — a bolt-action rifle first manufactured in Germany over a hundred years ago in 1898. So, when Democrats call for ‘assault weapons’ bans, every gun owner must realize that means grandpa’s old hunting rifle too.”
Bolt-action rifles load each round one at a time by manually working the bolt.
The rifles usually at the core of the gun debate are magazine-fed semi-automatic guns, in which the firearm itself automatically brings a new round into the chamber after each trigger pull — though, like a bolt-action, each trigger pull fires only a single round.
Automatic rifles, or machine guns, fire continuously until the magazine or belt is empty. They are already heavily restricted under U.S. law.
The ammunition used to kill Mr. Kirk, .30-06, is considered a high-powered cartridge, meaning it can deliver a more powerful punch at a longer range.
The AR-style rifles that have dominated the gun debate in recent years generally use what’s known as an intermediate cartridge, which is a balance between high-power ammunition and lower-powered ammo generally used in handguns.
Using a bolt-action rifle is a rarity in high-profile shooting crimes, though Lee Harvey Oswald used a bolt-action 6.5 mm Carcano rifle to assassinate President Kennedy in November 1963.
According to data compiled by The Smoking Gun website, a bolt-action rifle was present in only five of the 263 deadliest shootings in U.S. history and was almost always a secondary weapon, often never used. So-called assault weapons were used in 71 shootings, with AR-15-style rifles the choice in about half of those.
Mr. Kirk was talking about mass shootings during one of his signature “Prove Me Wrong” events at Utah Valley University on Wednesday when he was fatally shot.
Law enforcement recovered the bolt-action rifle that they say was used in the shooting from the woods near the school campus. It was wrapped in a towel.
A spent round was in the chamber and shell casings left beside the gun were etched with messages. Among the messages were “Hey fascist, catch!” and “If you read this you are gay, LMAO.”
On Friday, police arrested Tyler Robinson, 22, of Utah, in connection with the shooting death.
Mr. Robinson had confessed to a family friend, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said. The friend contacted the Washington County, Utah, Sheriff’s Office.
Guns quickly became a focal point for many on the left in the wake of the slaying.
Some commenters online suggested a sort of justice in Mr. Kirk’s death, given his vehement opposition to gun control.
A clip of Mr. Kirk talking about the tradeoffs of gun control made the rounds: “It’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.”
Members of Congress called for a renewed debate on restrictions.
“Pass some gun laws!” shouted Rep. Jahana Hayes, Connecticut Democrat, after the House held a moment of silence and prayer for Mr. Kirk.
Rep. George Latimer, New York Democrat, later told reporters outside the chamber, “Does it take shooting a conservative to start to realize the gun scourge? I hope they realize it.”
Second Amendment Foundation Founder Alan Gottlieb said Mr. Kirk’s shooting upends much of the rhetoric surrounding guns.
“Democrats treat all guns like they are ’assault weapons’ and want to ban them. Guns don’t have brains to hate with or fingers to pull their own triggers. Attacking gun ownership will not solve any problems,” Mr. Gottlieb said.
