Wilson Responds to President Obama’s Executive Actions to Restrict Second Amendment Rights

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) released the following statement in response to President Obama's announcement of intention to subvert the Constitution by taking executive action to restrict American gun ownership:

"The President's unilateral action on gun regulations is yet another example of his continued disregard for rule of law. The Constitution is clear—only Congress can write laws.

"In the coming days and weeks in Congress, I will continue the fight to defend our Second Amendment and our Constitution and will work with Congressman Tim Murphy to advance the Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act—which provides meaningful reforms to address the mental health crisis behind gun violence."
