Texas State Rifle Association to Obama: Enforce Laws Already on the Books

Executive Actions to reduce gun violence are a test to circumvent the legislative process. Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas These executive actions taken by the Obama Administration are another sign that this Administration is more interested in vilifying law-abiding gun owners than actually trying to prevent criminals from getting their hands on firearms. Rather than point to the success in reducing violent crime over the past decade and reinforcing the need for strengthening the NICS system with additional agents the executive actions are a test to circumvent the legislative process" said Doug DuBois Executive Director of the Texas State Rifle Association (TSRA).    The Texas State Rifle Association (TSRA) released its statement earlier today after President Obama on Tuesday announced his executive actions claiming they would reduce gun violence and make our communities safer.

The TSRA urges the Obama Administration to enforce the numerous laws already on the books including fully prosecuting those who have attempted to purchase the 2 million guns the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) has stopped. We will continue to represent the tens of thousands of law-abiding gun owners sportsmen and veterans who are members of the TSRA" DuBois said.
