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.

It's becoming more clear that the tree of liberty desperately needs to be refreshed, especially seeing how so many are trying their best to kill that tree. If they do, it's OUR fault, not theirs.

The sound of the "I" word may make a lot of us feel good, especially since we believe it is so richly deserved. But, with the majority of the government in the hands of the left, does anyone actually think this move will go anywhere. Just watch what the MSM does to anyone even uttering the word.
Here's CT.'s idea of gun control. Let's hope it's not picked-up by Queen Bloomberg and used as a national model.
This is the new law being proposed in CT. by the leftist loons who run that state. Watch out that it doesn't catch on!
"Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
That the general statutes be amended to establish a class C felony offense, except for (certain) military and law enforcement personnel and certain gun clubs, for;
(1) any person or organization to purchase, sell, donate, transport, possess or use any gun except one made to fire a "single round",
(2) any person to fire a gun containing more than a "single round",
(3) any person or organization to receive from another state, territory or country a gun made to fire multiple rounds, or
(4) any person or organization to purchase, sell, donate or possess a magazine or clip capable of holding "more than one round…"
Screw them!
