resident Obama will meet with Attorney General Loretta Lynch today to discuss his options surrounding the implementation of new gun control measures through executive action. Because Obama is choosing to go around Congress on the issue, Republicans are vowing to immediately reverse whatever action he takes should they win back the White House in November.
"All these executive orders he's gonna come out with tomorrow that are going to undermine our Second Amendment rights -- on my first day in office, they're gone," Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said at a campaign stop in New Hampshire on Sunday morning.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said on "Fox News Sunday" that Obama "wants to act as if he is a king, as if he is a dictator."
"Fact is, if he wants to make changes to these laws, go to Congress and convince the Congress that they're necessary. But this is going to be another illegal executive action, which I'm sure will be rejected by the courts and when I become President will be stricken from executive action by executive action I'll take."
"There's an assault on the Second Amendment. You know Obama's going to do an executive order and really knock the hell out of it," Trump said.
"You know, the system's supposed to be you get the Democrats, you get the Republicans, and you make deals. He can't do that. He can't do that," he said. "So he's going to sign another executive order having to do with the Second Amendment, having to do with guns. I will veto. I will unsign that so fast."
"His first impulse always is to take rights away from law-abiding citizens, and it's wrong. And to use executive powers he doesn't have is a pattern that is quite dangerous," Bush said.
"It is delusional, dangerous, not to mention unconstitutional, for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to continue talking about climate change and gun control in the wake of a Paris terrorist attack, in the wake of a San Bernardino terrorist attack, instead of how we can defeat ISIS," Fiorina said.
The NRA is also vowing to fight Obama's move.
Keep in mind that is was Democrats, not Republicans, who killed President Obama's gun control measures back in 2013.
Obama will sit down for a town hall style discussion about his gun grab with CNN's Anderson Cooper Thursday from George Mason University.
Had to stop there. I can't even type that with a straight face. Can't imagine why 0bama even bothered to get another pet given how many lap dogs he has in DC.
Why did you put words in Katie Pavlich's fingers that she never typed. There is no mention of Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell in the article
Shame on you. You didn't even bother to read the article. Admit it!!
Now go back and read the article again and if necessary again and again and again,
I stand by what I said Kaslin- NOT one candidate has said they will bring impeachment charges against him if He violates the law-
They are all just going to let him get away with yet traitorous another abuse of power- and simply ‘undo it’ once they get into power
IF I missed where any of them said they will bring impeachment charges against him- please letme know
How about going to the Supreme Court and ending his rampant use of executive powers to get around the checks and balances set up in the Constitution?
Nope, no money to the RNC.
Good candidates only
I stand by my words!
I guess your an Establishment type that still believes the Establishment Republican lies.... hook, line and sinker?
Did you forget how they promised to block Obama if we elected them to congress?????
For the record Cruz and Trump are NOT Establishment Republicans. This does not apply to the Non Establishment Republicans. The few that are left.
No you didn’t, because the article didn’t say anything about the House or the Senate.
Just like they vowed to defund Planned Parenthood and Obamacare?
Did it say anything in the article about impeachment? No it did not. The subject of the article is that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave’s unlawful executive action against the second Amendment by taking the guns away from Law Abiding citizen.
You didn’t read the article either. Shame on you!!1
Pretty and smart, isn’t she?
Show me, don't tell me.
Yes, I read past the headline. Obviously. I pulled a quote from the middle of the article.
And I remain skeptical that anyone will bother undoing anything. There's always another excuse, the one final obstacle that just can't be overcome this year.
President Obama will meet with Attorney General Loretta Lynch today to discuss his optionsLike he doesn't already know what he's going to do? Like he hasn't had this in the works for the last 7 years?
Puh-leeeeeeeeez. The media just publishes verbatim the faxes they get from the White House.
"Pretty much sums up their first and final acts on the matter. A gun grab will spark civil war. And, perhaps that is Obama's ambition. If you aren't already prep'd ... get there now."I didn't mention the House or Senate ... either.
I did read it, actually. Still blah blah blah at this point by the Republican candidates .... until & unless they manage to get in the WH.
I didn't see Cruz take a position.
