Dammit. I thought you died.

He said it today during the news conference, listen to it.
Of course the Democrat Senate will never try him, but it's a start:
GOP congressman threatens impeachment if Obama uses executive action for gun control
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.

That's your problem, you thought.

I think you hear what you want to hear. You two should have paid attention, both of you. Here's what he said:
"But I'm confident that there are some steps that we can take that don't require legislation and that are within my authority as president. And where you get a step that has the opportunity to reduce the possibility of gun violence, then I want to go ahead and take it."
Like I said, what authority?

I did listen to it. I think you've re-interpreted what he said because that's what you want to hear.
Wet your pants somewhere else.
So jf he did go through with a ban, he would be an evil liberal robbing you of your rights. But if he doesn't do it,it's because he doesn't have any balls.
No matter what, the sky is always purple.
And why I said this republican twat is just a windbag, he's the FNG trying to piss on his fire hydrant to make the sister fucking hillbillies back in TX all dreamy eyed for him, nothing more.
Dear Mexico,
Here is Texas. Enjoy.
hugs and kisses,
America
Nitpick: Not many hills in Texas.
Obama mentioned his authority as President to control or limit Second Amendment rights...where in the Constitution can I place my finger on that article that gives him such authority, CJ?

I know it may seem hard to believe, but not all Texans are hillbillies.
