Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) released the following statement in response to President Obama's announcement of intention to subvert the Constitution by taking executive action to restrict American gun ownership:
"The President's unilateral action on gun regulations is yet another example of his continued disregard for rule of law. The Constitution is clear--only Congress can write laws.
"In the coming days and weeks in Congress, I will continue the fight to defend our Second Amendment and our Constitution and will work with Congressman Tim Murphy to advance the Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act--which provides meaningful reforms to address the mental health crisis behind gun violence."
