Statement from Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney (R, C--New Hartford) Candidate for Congress in New York's 22nd District, on Obama's Address

Statement

"Radical Islamic terrorism is the most serious threat facing America. Obama's address last night proves that he fails to take this threat seriously. Instead, Obama deliberately ignores this terrorist threat and chooses to distract the truth by focusing on gun control measures. His speech was nothing more than a rehash of his failed policy in Syria and against radical Islamic terrorism."

"Obama has used the terrorist attack in San Bernardino to demand more gun control, including preventing those on the no-fly list from purchasing guns. However, the no-fly list has been controversial, secretive and includes many innocent people. A report found that 72 employees from the Department of Homeland Security are on the no-fly list. Journalists, U.S. representatives and children have even appeared on the no-fly list. Removing your name from this list, even if it has been wrongly added, has proven to be nearly impossible. Obama's call to strip those who have been added to the no-fly list of their Second Amendment rights is a misguided infringement on our constitutionally protected freedoms."
