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.
Right. Just like you undid Obamacare.
Pardon our skepticism.
I see the republicans they are referring to are the candidates, not the congress. We shall see, I guess.
Just like they said they’d undo Obamacare, the lying losers. Obama’s not scared of the empty suits in the GOP Congress and Senate.
The GOPee has no cred.
Hey Repubs .... we’re not listening to you any more.
Uh-huh, if it’s so damned illegal/unconstitutional/wrong, why don’t one of you sack up and propose that we impeach the sonofabitch?
Oh, yeah. They’ll undo it by fully-funding it. That’ll show him!
You think the rats would go along with it? Keep on dreaming. I’d rather have that arrogant pos sentenced to life plus 100 years to Leavenworth
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.
Sorry Congress, this is your job to police the Executive Branch NOW. Anything less than a stringent defense of the 2nd amendment to the Constitution, the very LAW OF THE LAND, is dereliction of duty and treason to the founding documents and the nation.
You’re jumping the gun, so to speak. Look carefully at the article. Obama and Lynch are going to meet to see if he has authority to order these changes. I have little doubt that they will decide that these would be outside his constitutional authority, and nothing will happen.............(and yes /sarc off/)
Ohhh, there's the conditional part of the plan. I don't believe they'll ever do anything. I really don't.
They took a break from holding Lerner, Koskinen & Hillary accountable to talk butch ...
Don’t break a nail girls.
I DON’T BELIEVE ANY OF THEM EXCEPT TRUMP OR CRUZ! SCREW THE GOP THEY WONT UNDO ANYTHING!
I DON’T BELIEVE ANY OF THEM EXCEPT TRUMP OR CRUZ! SCREW THE GOP THEY WONT UNDO ANYTHING!
how about republicans instead send him a warning that IF he violates our second amendment rights, and violates the law by bypassing congress on something that needs congressional vote that they will IMMEDIATELY bring impeachment proceedings against him for betraying America!
That I would be impressed with
You nailed it!
The Establishment Republican Party Is Full Of $hit.
They only say this to keep conservatives in check.
I am glad you realized that
