Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Ken Buck spoke strongly about the President’s latest executive action on gun control, calling for the protection of Second Amendment rights and for a return to constitutional governance. President Obama’s executive actions bypass Congress, and in doing so bypass the will of the people. They also set a precedent for future violations of the Second Amendment.
“The President’s latest executive action violates the Constitutional mandate that Congress create the laws while the President only enforces them,” Congressman Buck stated. “Which amendment in the Bill of Rights will be tossed to the wolves tomorrow?”
One of the measures attempts to expand the use of background checks. However, under current law it’s already a felony for any individual to transfer a gun to someone who they reasonably believe can’t legally possess it. Additionally, gun show and online sellers are already required to operate with licenses.
“If the President wants to start enforcing laws that are already on the books, he should start protecting our border,” Congressman Buck stated.
