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

Via dailycaller.com » Submitted On Mon, 01/14/2013 - 8:36pm by 六十四 Cerca

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.

For some reason people who don't buy the stories that the government and the media put forth as the whole truth and insist on asking questions are considered paranoid, or conspiracy theorists and there for crazy.

Thank you Steve Stockman! NO MAN has the right to impose his will on another or on the masses. It is time that our president learned this.

This is a link to the Davis and Emmer talkshow web page. Davis and Emmer interviewed Pine County Sherriff re: the Executive Orders President Obama signed last week. I think his respnse is worth reading and passing along. We can only home other Sheriffs in Minnesota will follow his lead.
