Washington DC – -(Ammoland.com)-  On December 21 2015 Republican presidential hopeful Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced legislation to render any executive action on guns impotent by rendering it “advisory only.”

According to The Hill, Paul’s legislation would apply to “any execution action on gun control that either infringes upon congressional authority or potentially violates the Second Amendment.”

Once labeled “advisory only,” the action would require Congressional passage before it could take effect. Paul’s legislation would also allow a “state official, member of Congress or person affected by an executive action on gun control to launch a civil lawsuit.”

The legislation is being “fast-tracked” through the Senate and is expected to be added to the Senate calendar and taken up once Senators return from recess.

Paul said, “In the United States, we do not have a king, but we do have a Constitution. We also have the Second Amendment, and I will fight tooth and nail to protect it.”

I agree with Keith, it’s a voter garnering piece of legislation and will go nowhere except to the admiration of many voters..

tim

i think we really need to look at repealing the 16th and 17th amendments to the constitution and put the power in this country back where it belongs in the hands of “we the people” and out of the hands of the president and career politicians and some serious term limits for congress since they thought it was a great idea for the president i think they should also be allowed 2 terms in the house and one in the senate just my opinion but a radical shake up of how we do politics in this country is desperately needed

Chuck

We all knew that “Obummer” was mad dog anti-gun in Chicago. What made anyone think he would change stripes and become pro-gun? He was only waiting for the polls to close on his 2nd election, in which fools re-elected him. When are we going to learn, once a gun grabber, always a gun grabber!!!???

KYLE V

When Cruz becomed president there will not be any gun control bill passed, he is pro gun and pro 2nd amendment. He will stop ISIS also, and hopefully, void all of king scumbamas orders.

It won’t pass the senate because mitch mcconnell is either an old woman or a gelding. Either way he is only interested in getting more DIVIDENDS FOR HIMSELF than doing anything for the country. All he ever does is roll over like an old dog and kiss obozo’s rear. The only difference between the bum from Kentucky and reid the bum from Nevada is the spelling of their name. Both are ANTI AMERICAN and should be prosecuted for illegal activities in both the senate and the public.

If Barry does it there must be the immediate filing for an injunction/stay and then get it to court ASAP. At the same time more legislation should be introduced to counter act the SOB. What happens to “kings” who are removed from office.

TEX

Jail Obama for treason and send his ass to Gitmo !

Klinger

Put that high yella clown on a slow boat back to Kenya where he came from!

The Constitution blocks all tyranny.

Keith, keep in mind Rand Paul has always been a fighter for our gun rights and the constitution even before the elections.

Mitch

You are correct about overriding the veto. However, Slithery will be the next POTUS. Republicans are known for not taking action (voting). Besides, the election is already “fixed”. AND, a lot can and will happen in 2016 before the election!

Marvin Cohn

Even if it does pass in both houses, Obama will veto the legislation… and there are not enough votes to override the veto… Our best bet is to elect in 2016 a conservative.

JohnC

Senator Paul is a true patriot and works for what he believes to be right. Too bad he has no real chance to be President. He is not an egomaniac like Trump or a complete war hawk like Senator Cruz.

Tom T

Hey Keith,
This legislation will clarify who are the enemies of our Constitution within the Senate!
Paul is not just sitting there collecting a check, playing golf and sucking up to the RINOs.
He is not a self-serving individual as you portray.
I’m darn glad to see someone take the lead to introduce this Legislation, attempting to stop this Rogue President.

Janek

Maybe that bill should be revised to void all of Obama’s ‘Executive Orders’?

jao742

Don’t knock it! Let it run its course and you may be surprised.

2nd Amender

We must stand together to fight the tyrannical processes that have once again emerged to threaten FREE MEN. Fight for The Constitution of these United States of America, vote out those who choose to oppose it’s wisdoms and change it’s Freedoms and safe guards against monarchs, tyrants, and anyone who wants to restrain us.

Charles Kimberl

That’s my senator. Great job Rand. Now if he can get some of the gutless wonders around him to support his effort, it may avert civil war.

Frank

You’re probably right Keith and that is the sickening part of Washington right now. How do we the people change it? Not so sure its doable. I’m not one to give up but Washington needs an ENEMA for Sure…

Renny

Keith is right. Of course there is always the possibility that if the President doesn’t get around to the veto timely the bill automatically becomes law.

Jim

Maby we needto get on it and get it passed !

TEX

@Keith,why do you think it wouldn’t pass Senate ?

Jimmy

Curious George is going to shaft us all 1 more time and that will be regarding Firearms my fellow Americans…..

freewill

E.O’s are for running the federal government, much like a CEO runs a company, the president cannot legally pass any rules, laws or regulations on the people, thats why there is three branches of government, and people need to get their state legislators to enforce the 10th Amendment

Keith

I’m sure it’s a great piece of legislation, but it’ll never clear the Senate, and Rand knows it. Even if it does clear the Senate (as of now it probably wouldn’t have any problem in the House), unless it’s attached to another piece of legislation, this bill is doomed to a veto. This bill is designed to do nothing more than shore up his voting base, which is fine, but the legislation is meaningless. It’s not going anywhere.
