Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTOM D.C. In response to the recent media reports that President Barack Obama plans to use executive action to roll back the Second Amendment rights of the American people Representative John Culberson (TX-07) sent the attached letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch and released the following statement.
The next twelve months will be an especially dangerous time for Americans who treasure our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. I have formally notified Attorney General Lynch that I will aggressively protect our Second Amendment rights using Congress power of the purse. I notified the Attorney General that if the Department of Justice attempted to create new restrictions on our Constitutional rights that I would use every tool at my disposal to immediately restrict their access to federal funding.
I will do my best to ensure that Americans hard-earned tax dollars are not spent to implement illegal and unconstitutional executive orders."
