Bill
Armistead, Chairman of the Alabama Republican Party, issued the
following statement regarding President Obama's use of executive
authority regarding gun rights:
"President
Obama is once again trying to legislate from the executive branch. The
23 executive actions that he announced Wednesday to restrict gun
ownership in American is just another way that
he wants to 'fundamentally transform America'. He wanted the government
to control our healthcare and now he wants to control what we can
purchase in the way of firearms. This President is consumed with the
desire for power and control over our lives."
Armistead
continued, "Alabamians believe as our founding fathers did that we
should have the right to bear arms to protect and defend ourselves and
therefore gave us the Second Amendment. I believe
that the Second Amendment is the insurance policy the founders set up
for future generations to prevent an overreaching government. I am
thankful for the rights provided us in the US Constitution.... the
rights that this President seems all too willing to ignore."
"I know
that our Republican Delegation from Alabama will stand strong against
President Obama insatiable desire for control of every aspect of our
lives and especially on the issue to bear arms."
