JACKSON, MS (WLOX) -

President Obama will announce several proposals Wednesday on what the federal government can do to curb gun violence in the wake of the Sandy Hook school massacre. But the anticipation about the president's plan already has many gun advocates worried, including Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant.

Wednesday morning, the governor sent a letter to Lieutenant Governor Tate Reeves and House Speaker Phillip Gunn asking them to "immediately pass legislation that would make any unconstitutional order by the President illegal to enforce in Mississippi by state or local law enforcement."

Bryant said several states have introduced similar measures to counter what he called, "this overreaching and anti-constitutional violation of our rights as American citizens."

By my count, that is three states talking about limiting enforcement of Fed gun restrictions/bans: WY, TX, and now MS. Any others?

Wyoming... Texas... Mississippi... it’s unfolding just about like I thought it would.

Barky’s EOs will be met with state actions declaring them unenforceable almost immediately after they issue.

"Bryant said several states have introduced similar measures..."

Meanwhile, Republicans in states without similar measures will be regarded as Democrats and are headed for more losses. Good work, Bryant and Mississippi.

I heard Bryant’s speech on Supertalk Mississippi. Bryant is one of us. We now need to ask for Remington to relocate to Mississippi as the Winchester Ammo company has and send a bunch of non union trucks to get the arms manufacturing equipment and employees with FNY painted on the sides of the trucks. Bushmaster AR 15’s are made by the Remington Company in NY.

Yep! Hood better know that he will be a VERY unpopular man if he supports Big O's lawless anti-gun dictates.
