Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong opposition to the administration's most recent action that runs afoul of our Second Amendment rights. The President's executive orders could easily impact citizens' privacy and due process, all at the whim of a bureaucrat. Rather than putting in place new hurdles for citizens who chose to exercise their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, the administration's focus should be on the laws already on the books that they are not enforcing. The administration's actions are unconstitutional and simply are another attempt to distract from the real issues at hand, particularly the onward march of terrorism and the destabilizing effect the deal with Iran is having in the Middle East. It would serve the country better to focus our full effort on defeating radical Islamic terrorists. ____________________
