Washington, DC – 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. To watch the video, please click here.  

“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.”
