    GOP congressman threatens impeachment if Obama uses executive action for gun control

    GOP congressman threatens impeachment if Obama uses executive action for gun control

    I will seek to thwart this action by any means necessary, including but not limited to eliminating funding for implementation, defunding the White House, and even filing articles of impeachment.”

    Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman threatened Monday afternoon that he would file articles of impeachment against President Barack Obama if he institutes gun control measures with an executive order.

    Stockman warned that such executive orders would be “unconstitutional” and “infringe on our constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms.”

    “I will seek to thwart this action by any means necessary, including but not limited to eliminating funding for implementation, defunding the White House, and even filing articles of impeachment,” Stockman said in a statement.
    At his press conference Monday, Obama floated the possibility of using executive action to enact policies aimed at reducing gun violence.

    The freshman congressman, who served one term in Congress in the mid-1990s, further labeled the possibility “an existential threat to this nation” because, he said, the purpose of the Second Amendment is to allow the people to protect themselves from tyranny.

    “Any proposal to abuse executive power and infringe upon gun rights must be repelled with the stiffest legislative force possible,” he added. “Under no circumstances whatsoever may the government take any action that disarms any peaceable person — much less without due process through an executive declaration without a vote of Congress or a ruling of a court.”

    He concluded by claiming that an executive order would be not just “not just an attack on the Constitution,” but also an “attack on Americans.”

    “If the president is allowed to suspend constitutional rights on his own personal whims, our free republic has effectively ceased to exist,” he said.

    Walter Williams: Americans misunderstand point of the Second Amendment [VIDEO]

    “[The Founding Fathers'] stated reason was to allow the American people to protect themselves from the United States Congress — that is, government. That’s why we have the Second Amendment.”

    Author and economist Walter Williams told The Daily Caller that the purpose of the Second Amendment is to protect Americans from their own government — not simply to ensure hunting rights.

    Williams, a syndicated columnist and the John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics at George Mason University, suggested that common misconceptions about the Second Amendment undermine the gun control debate.

    “[The Founding Fathers'] stated reason was to allow the American people to protect themselves from the United States Congress — that is, government. That’s why we have the Second Amendment,” he said.

    “A lot of people are saying we should somehow control or restrict arms,” he continued. “And I would ask the question: Are we under any less a threat of tyranny from Washington than we were in 1787? And I would say no.”

    Rifles and guns may not be able to stand up against the government’s tanks and fighter planes, Williams acknowledged, but he said history shows that small, outmatched resistance movements can still be successful.

    “If push comes to shove, Americans would at least have a means to offer some kind of resistance, as people have done around the world.”

    Guns also help deter crime, Williams said, citing a study that rapists are less likely to strike when women in the community take shooting lessons.

    “[Rapists] are cowards, and if they think women can defend themselves, they’ll restrain their behavior or think twice,” he said. “The gun industry makes all kinds of interesting holsters where women can carry their guns, such as the bra holster. Guy acts like rape? ‘Well, yeah, let me get undressed, and then politely blow the guy away.’”

    Look for the full interview with Williams on Monday.

    Temporary Politicians "POTUS" making Imaginary Law "Executive Order's" are NOT a Law or Law of the Land

    Congress enact's Law's... NOT the POTUS

    NOR can the POTUS change the Constitution

    The POTUS's Job is to enforce LAW's Enacted by Congress and Follow the constitution

    Temporary Politicians that have delusions of grandeur need to be sent packing


    Delusion of Grandeur | Encyclopedia of Psychology

    psychcentral.com/encyclopedia/2008/delusion-of-grandeur/Cached

    A delusion of grandeur is the fixed, false belief that one possesses superior qualities such as genius, fame, omnipotence, or wealth. It is most often a symptom.


    Noun, 1. delusions of grandeur - a delusion (common in paranoia) that you are much greater and more powerful and influential than you really are.

    Stockman warns Obama: No gun control, no compromise

    Any push for gun control will be met with White House budget cuts, possible impeachment.

    Republican Rep. Steve Stockman is absolutely right about the threat to America posed by Obama's attempt to use dictatorial power to infringe upon our second amendment rights.

    But what Congressman Steve Stockman and every member of Congress needs to realize is that Obama has already infringed on all of our rights and thrown the Constitution to the wind by instituting a policy of amnesty for illegal immigrants without Congress as well.

    Both dictatorial actions make Obama eligible for impeachment and on behalf of millions of Americans we wish Congress would stop talking and take swift action to stop ALL of Obama's abuses of power.
