Republicans Vow to Undo Obama's Executive Action on Gun Control
Townhall.com ^ | January 4, 2016 | Katie Pavlich

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. 

Rubio:

"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. 

Christie:

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."

Trump:

"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."

Bush:

"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.

Fiorina:

"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.

Yes, I read past the headline. Obviously. I pulled a quote from the middle of the article.

Go to the bathroom stat, because you are full of it

Here is your post #14 in which you claimed to have pulled from the middle of the article

I find it strange though, that the quote is from second sentence in first paragraph.

Here is the screen grab with the particular sentence which I have underlined

Now stand in the corner

So you’re nitpicking because it was not the middle line of the article. Very well. Are you questioning the accuracy of the quote?

The quote is found past the headline, however, so feel free to admit that your accusation that I didn’t read past the headline was baseless and you were wrong.

What’s your problem, anyway?

Only took two posts!

Many thanks.

He’ll do it, and they will make a million excuses on why they can’t undo it.

the whole point of my response was to point out that the republicans were about to let him get away with another unlawful endrun around congress- when they should look him in the eye and tell him that if he does this and violates the second amendment, he WOULD face impeachment - I do not see any candidate with the guts to declare he should face impeachment- I read the article- read beyond the headlines even- and saw that the establishment was just like ‘ho hum- oh well- it’s illegal, but we’ll just undo it when we gain power’ instead of doing what NEEDS to be done and stopping this illegal nonsense in it’s cold in it’s tracks

[[He’ll do it, and they will make a million excuses on why they can’t undo it]]

Exactly! Just like ryan’s betrayal with the omnibus - he gave dear leader EVERYTHING dear leader wanted, but now he’s ‘going to send a bill to defund planned parenthood’ now that the damage is done? He knows damn well the bill will be vetoed, and that the right will not get enough voted for a veto-proof majority- and you watch- ryan will now say “See- we tried to stop the funding, but golly, the left wouldn’t allow it”

none of them did- all of them were like ‘tsk tsk- he really shouldn’t do this- it’s not legal’ blah blah blah-

The RIGHT thing to do is warn to impeach a lawless president

I'll add to that ...

but golly, the left wouldn't allow it, so we must redouble our efforts to reach across the aisle and compromise to get things done

Yep. Those brave GOP warriors will "fight it" just like they "fought" the funding of Planned Murderhood, massive Islamic and illegal immigration, and amnesty.

In other words, they will fully fund it. But, they will run for election on the promise - then promptly forget about it after the election.

Are we on to the games the Gutless Old Pantywaists play, or what?

You didn’t read the article either. Shame on you!!

From the article: Republicans are vowing to immediately reverse whatever action he takes should they win back the White House in November.

I don't believe them.

.

Just like they have for the past 7 years.

Pardon me, I did not put a (/s) tag at the end of that statement. I thought most people recognized the fact that the republican leadership has spent the last 7 years grabbing their ankles.

.

Hopefully you will be able to understand this reply since it is not written in cursive.
