Texas Gov Greg Abbott criticized President Barack Obama's plan to move ahead with possible executive actions on guns in a tweet in which he told the Commander-in-Chief to 'come & take' the state's guns.
Obama said in his weekly radio address that he is looking for ways to keep guns out of the hands of 'a dangerous few' without depending on Congress to pass a law on the fraught subject of gun control.
He plans to meet his attorney general, Loretta Lynch, on Monday to see what executive actions might be possible. Steps to strengthen background checks could come this week.
At a rally in Biloxi, Mississippi, tonight Donald Trump also pledged to undo any action Obama takes on gun control if he wins the next election.

The second amendment, interpreted properly, means Joe Schmoe can have an Abrams in his garage.
Was in a gun store yesterday. It was filled to overflowing with people buying guns. Same with every gun show I’ve been to the last few years since The One began assisting the illegals and bringing over “refugees” while gun grabbing (and I do think both acts occuring at the same time are tied to a common higher goal). The more he tries to take our guns the more people buy them and prep for what is coming. I think ISIS would be very surprised if they try to mount a ground assault here. Very surprised.
All the right would have to do to shut down the left almost completely is to stop paying taxes. We are paying for our own misery.
And if his neighbors were unhappy with how he wanted to use it, they’d likely have their own Abramses too... the idea is that the posse comitatus would have whatever arms capability they wished.

A very very good point.
If the 16th Amendment were repealed and replaced with a small nucleus of rules by the States and the People, almost everything else would fall into place eventually. But they would have to be extreme, with no exceptions ...
( Obviously more would be needed to make it iron-clad bulletproof, and other areas need to be addressed, but this is a solid strike at the heart of the problem )
A simple flat rate on sales that affects everyone, citizens and aliens alike would be the only thing allowed. No exceptions.
The problem is that corrupt thieves in the District-of-Criminals have astonishingly invented something that no-one could have ever anticipated ... An American Express Black Card ... It has no limit, and is nominally billed to some not-yet-born future generation. They are spending our grand^5kids money at an ever-increasing rate.
Before someone whines that such a step is extreme, remember that what they have done dwarfs anything that King George ever did and it truly merits the gallows pole. They're getting off easy with a radical cut in their spending habits, that is, spending our money and our descendent's.
I hope you can say "Told ya so" soon enough.
I have been waiting for 7 years for this dimwit to leave the Oval Office.
Kinda like how he was going to keep the “refugees” out of Texas?
Bfl
A: That's right, TEN!
“I guess we’ll know for sure in less than one year if the wicked witch Hillary is defeated and California secedes.”
If so, hopefully we’ll have the sense to blow the bridges and mine the roads. They’re making the whole state untenable for farming and manufacturing, let ‘em stew.
Don’t ever tell anyone that a crippled man in a wheelchair is an easy target. Abbott is a TIGER and will viciously attack an enemy of freedom in a New York minute.
I have watched him and and he is the “real thing” when it comes to a politician that really does what he says and stands up to any bully that comes along.
Too bad 99% of all politicians are merely “go along to get along” sissies.
“Thumbs up” old boy, we all all standing behind you!
That just makes fighting them all that much easier.
Dear Obozo, F you....
Exactly!
LUV my GUV!! :)
Wish you and your family could move to Texas!

YEAH, WATCH OUT WHAT YOU POKE

I’m glad Abbott is my Governor!
0 has poked Texas once too many times....
Hopefully he’s more serious than Perry was when he boasted about closing the border despite the Feds....
