Babin Speaks Out Against Obama's Executive Overreach on Guns

Statement

U.S. Rep. Brian Babin (TX-36) spoke on the House floor this evening in opposition to President Obama's announced executive actions on gun control. Babin condemned the President for using the recent terrorist attacks as a way to undermine the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding American citizens.

"President Obama's disdain for gun owners has been clear from the start and this is another sad chapter in his presidency," said Rep. Babin. "It's a shame the President would exploit the latest act of terrorism in this manner. The murders of Americans in San Bernardino were due to a radical jihadi ideology -- and nothing the President is doing through his unilateral actions would address that. We are Constitutional Republic and the President cannot simply bypass Congress when his ill-advised initiatives are rejected. The President would be best served to join Congress in focusing on the growing threat of terrorism rather than making it easier to disarm law-abiding Americans. I'll do all I can to stop this unlawful and unconstitutional executive action."
