measures/

Prominent Republicans are slamming President Biden’s executive actions on
gun control — after the president said Thursday that “no amendment to the
Constitution is absolute” — with the party appearing united in its vow to
fight the efforts on the federal and state levels.

“Biden is threatening our 2nd Amendment rights,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott
wrote on Twitter Thursday. “He just announced a new liberal power grab to
take away our guns.”

The GOP governor went on to warn that the Lone Star State would not “allow
this” before calling on state representatives to pass legislation turning
Texas into a sanctuary state for gun rights.

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey has already taken some well-timed action, signed a
gun rights bill into law this week preemptively protecting firearm owners
in the state from federal gun control measures.

In the Senate, GOP lawmakers are expressing their frustration at Biden’s
executive actions and his choice to run the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives: David Chipman.

During a Thursday night appearance on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle,” Sen.
Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) decried the president’s comments calling the Second
Amendment a “phony” argument against gun control.

“He doesn’t believe it’s actually in the Constitution, he clearly does not
believe in the right to keep and bear arms,” Hawley told the network.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) took to Twitter to express his ire about Biden’s
gun policies, writing Wednesday, “President Biden wants to let violent
criminals go free but take guns from law-abiding citizens.”

On Thursday, he turned his attention on Chipman’s nomination, writing,
“David Chipman is a gun grabber who believes in wild conspiracies. He
should not be confirmed to run the ATF.”

Asked about Biden’s gun control efforts during a Fox News appearance
Friday morning, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), a lawyer who was previously on
President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court shortlist, slammed the moves by
referencing a critical court case.

“I would direct [Biden] to a Supreme Court decision called Heller v.
District of Columbia. What the Supreme Court said in that case, on its
face is arguably consistent with what President Biden said, the Second
Amendment does protect an individual right and extends to what people who
are law abiding would commonly utilize and own for lawful purposes.”

The court, he said, “acknowledged that it’s not absolute. I have a feeling
though he doesn’t necessarily have the same thing in mind as the Supreme
Court said.”

“The fact that an amendment is not absolute,” he continued, “doesn’t get
him to where he wants to go here.”

Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), a retiring moderate who supports some reforms,
said Thursday in a statement through his office that he and his staff were
“reviewing the executive actions.”

“Lasting progress though is made through the legislative process,” his
statement continued. “If done in a manner that respects the rights of law-
abiding citizens, I believe there is an opportunity to strengthen our
background check system so that we are better able to keep guns away from
those who have no legal right to them.”

Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.), a moderate Democrat with objections to blanket
gun-control measures, offered a similar reaction to Toomey’s.

“Senator Tester is a proud gun owner and a longtime defender of Montanans’
Second Amendment rights,” his office said in a statement. “He believes we
can take steps to keep our communities safe, like ensuring that criminals,
terrorists, and folks found by a court to be a danger to themselves or
others don’t have access to firearms, while also defending the rights of
law-abiding gun owners. “

“Senator Tester continues to believe that the best path forward is for
Congress to address these issues, and he will keep pushing his colleagues
on both sides of the aisle to bring their proposals up for a debate and
vote on the Senate floor.”

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the

President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed
