WASHINGTON – Congressman Steve Stockman (R-Texas 36th) released the following statement Monday afternoon.
The White House’s recent announcement they will use executive orders and executive actions to infringe on our constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms is an unconstitutional and unconscionable attack on the very founding principles of this republic.
I will seek to thwart this action by any means necessary, including but not limited to eliminating funding for implementation, defunding the White House, and even filing articles of impeachment.
The President’s actions are an existential threat to this nation. The right of the people to keep and bear arms is what has kept this nation free and secure for over 200 years. The very purpose of the Second Amendment is to stop the government from disallowing people the means to defend themselves against tyranny. Any proposal to abuse executive power and infringe upon gun rights must be repelled with the stiffest legislative force possible.
Under no circumstances whatsoever may the government take any action that disarms any peaceable person – much less without due process through an executive declaration without a vote of Congress or a ruling of a court.
The President’s actions are not just an attack on the Constitution and a violation of his sworn oath of office – they are a direct attack on Americans that place all of us in danger. If the President is allowed to suspend constitutional rights on his own personal whims, our free republic has effectively ceased to exist.

Bump!
Good for this guy! He’s got more guts than most of the snakes that slither in and out of that building. I just hope he watches his back - - GOP “leaders” like Boehner will be out to shut him up by any means necessary.
I’m moving to Texas.
Stockman’s gov site has the “Come and take it” cannon on it!
Too bad I couldn’t send him an email from there - but I WILL contact him to show support.
SOMEONE is standing up to the traitorous, totalitarian POSOTUS? Are there any OTHER Americans left in Congress?
HOORAY Congressman Steve Stockman (R-Texas 36th)!
BTTT!
I can’t argue with your post, CottShop. Thanks. I have said many times of late, that we have zero representation in Congress. I stand by that assessment.
You don't know what you are talking about.
Stockman was last in the House in 1997 and was just elected in Nov. 2012 for the first time since then.
How quick you are to falsely criticize one of our only patriots in the House.
BTTT!
(Poor banglist is being pummeled to pieces these days)

You are correct- I didn’t realize that- and I was judgign his comments by all the other gop-ers who ‘boldly proclaimed’ that they would ‘do whatever it takes to stop the rogue pres but per usual, in the end, they caved in like they ALWAYS do- I simply assumed he was another politician who has been in for awhile and if so it was obvious that he didn’t acti n the past to stop unconstitutional acts agaisnt us- I was mistaken notr knowing he was recently elected— but I still have my doubts as I’ve heard it all before and have watched on politician after another buckle when washington threatened to withhold federal funding- The only one I’ve really seen stand up to ovama has been that sherrif Araipo, and Jan Brewer of Az. Perhaps htere have been others, but if so they don’t get much press- and i’m not aware of htem-

I will very gladly support him IF he actually fallows through- and it doesn’;t even have ot result in impeachment, but if he at least has them oral fortitutde to stand by his word, then I’ll gladly support him- but I msut tell you that it’s tough beleivign any politician these days because we’ve seen a great many of them betray the American peopel time and tiem again- I hope you’re right and that this guy is genuine and honest- I truly do hope you’re right-
What he does tomorrow, January 15th will tell you what he is. If he doesn't enforce the Twentieth Amendment, Section three, he simply a traitor like all of the rest.

The Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term “natural born citizen” to any other category than “those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof”.

.....A second civil war is coming, that I predict and it could result in a break-up of this nation, on the lines of red states, blue states.
He is silent on the usurpation of the presidency. This congressman took the oath to protect and defend the Constitution, and has broken that oath, just like every other republican lawmaker.

And since Stockman just got elected and is already warning the president of possible impeachment precedures he does not look to me like a fraud.
Bullsh&+
The cowards are more worried about the media calling them racist than upholding their sworn oath. They are filthy traitors. The whole lot.
