Lummis Opposes Obama Gun Control Push

Statement

Date: Jan. 5, 2016
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Guns

Today President Obama issued executive orders on gun control and spoke at a press conference calling for gun control legislation. In response, U.S. Representative Cynthia Lummis (WY-At large) issued the following statement:

"President Obama's words and actions on gun control today are a desperate attempt by a last term president to come up with legacy points. The President cannot claim to respect the Constitution while at the same time use the swipe of his pen to impose restrictions on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans. In Wyoming, we know the value of the Second Amendment and understand its importance for self-defense and safeguarding our liberty. Neither the Republican Congress nor the American people will stand for infringement of these rights."
