In response to President Barack Obama's announcement of impending executive orders related to gun control, Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) released the following statement:
"Don't let the President's speech today fool you. These executive actions are solutions that don't fit the real problem.
Little more than a month ago, extremists killed innocent civilians in San Bernardino, California, highlighting the terrorism being inspired by Islamic radicals and imported to America. In response to this and the gruesome attacks in Paris in November, our Commander-in-Chief has done little to protect us. Instead, the President merely went back to his old playbook of more control, more bureaucracy, and more federal spending.
We don't need the same failed policies from an Administration that couldn't keep track of its own guns during the botched Fast and Furious gun walking scandal that put weapons in the hands of violent drug cartels. The American people deserve a commitment to enforcing our current laws and preventing those who seek to undermine our security."
