Support from the mother of reporter Alison Parker whose killer passed his check and bought his gun legally sot barbara parker, mother of Alison Parker 581 04 if background checks can save one life. It may not have saved alisons, but thats not a reason to do nothing https the nra tweeted president obamas executive orders will do nothing to improve Public Safety marco rubio agreed president ial candidate 1 12 1 16because gun violence is committed by criminals and criminals dont care what the law is Rubio Ted Cruz and other gop candidates vow to roll back the tougher gun rules that president obama is ordering into effect on his own he is asking congress for a half billion dollars more for Mental Health care. But Speaker Paul Ryan made clear republicans will not back tougher gun laws. Im steve handelsman, nbc news, at the white house you heard briefly from marco rubio there. But he had plenty more to say during his Campaign Stop in mason city immediately following the president s announcement. just today issuing an executive order that undermines the 2nd amendment, by the way outrage of outrage, theyve assigned over 400 agents now to enforce this executive order. Thats more people that theyve put in that special force thats designed to go after isis. They are dedicating more people to undermine the Second Amendment, than they are to undermine the most powerful and dangerous terrorist group in the history of the world. Rubio told a crowd that president obama does not see america as a great global power, but rather a he also accused the president of cutting deals with our enemies and gutting the military. He says the president s actions today were illegal. And will be ineffective. The president s move today on guns is unconstitutional, when im president well repeal it. Were not going to continue to burden law abiding citizens right to protect their families. These laws will do nothing to protect us from gun violence, but they will inconvenience everyday law abiding americans who simply want to exercise their Second Amendment rights. Of course rubio wasnt the only candidate to weigh in on the president and his proposals. As you might expect the candidates were divided along party lines. And the legality of his action. Cruz pl05t 1836 you know, this morning president obama is announcing new executive orders to try to go after our 2nd amendment right to keep and bear arms. Well i can tell you right now, those executive orders are not the worth paper theyre printed on because when you live by the pen, you die by the pen. And my pen has got an eraser. Edit to bush pl02t 107130 its not going to solve any problems by having the care of by executive order. The president doesnt have an authority to do it. If theres an issue related to the federal gun laws, then he ought to go to congress and try to forge consensus to make it happen, he doesnt have this power. And certainly the best way to do it is the way that weve always done it, allow states to decide what kind of gun control laws that they have. Edit to clinton pl04t 109126 i know we are smart enough as a country to protect the rights of responsible gun owners consistent with our constitution and do more to keep guns out of the hands of felons, fugitives, stalker, and for goodness sakes, potential terrorists.
