REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS ARE NOT EXACTLY GIVING A RINGING ENDORSEMENT TO PRESIDENT OBAMA'S EXECUTIVE ACTIONS ON GUN CONTROL.
IOWA 4TH DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE STEVE KING SAYS IF THERE ARE CONSTITUTIONAL STEPS THAT CAN BE TAKEN TO AVERT FUTURE TRAGEDIES LIKE SANDY HOOK, CONGRESS NEEDS TO CONSIDER THEM.
HE SAYS TAKING STEPS TO PREVENT TRAGEDIES LIKE NEWTOWN IS A NOBLE CAUSE, BUT THIS LATEST ATTEMPT BY THE PRESIDENT TO LEGISLATE THROUGH EMOTION DOES NOT LEAD TO QUALITY LEGISLATION.
KING ADDED THAT WE CANNOT DISARM ALL LAW ABIDING AMERICANS IN AN ATTEMPT TO PREEMPT A DERANGED INDIVIDUAL.
NEBRASKA SENATOR MIKE JOHANNS SAYS HE WILL CAREFULLY REVIEW ANY LEGISLATION BEFORE CONGRESS, BUT PLACING A HEAVIER BURDEN ON RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERS WILL DO LITTLE TO PREVENT TROUBLED INDIVIDUALS FROM CARRYING OUT VIOLENT ACTS.
THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS VERY CLEAR AND SO IS MY COMMITMENT TO PROTECTING THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT OF LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS TO BEAR ARMS.
