EXECUTIVE ACTION ON SECOND AMENDMENT
(Mr. ROUZER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. ROUZER. 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.
