Barack Obama’s final year as the Worst POTUS Ever promises to be a cross between Lord of the Flies and the Hunger Games: Figuratively killing off dissidents while pitting Americans against one another, usurping as much power as he can as Congress sips champagne pilfered from the Districts it’s supposed to be serving. And his next target—when he returns from his gazillionth taxpayer-funded vacay—is our right to self defense as solidified in the Second Amendment. He’ll reportedly release his newest unconstitutional fiat executive order after he returns from Christmas in Hawaii. But there’s at least one senator who’s having none of it: Serial Filibusterer Rand Paul. From The Hill:
Sen. Rand Paul is pushing for a vote to restrict President Obama’s ability to enact new gun control regulations.
The Kentucky Republican, who is running for president, has introduced legislation that would decree any executive action on gun control that either infringes upon congressional authority or potentially violates the Second Amendment as “advisory only” until legislation that supported the action is passed by Congress.
“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,” Paul said in a statement on Monday.
And Senator Paul is wasting no time in his effort to nip Obama’s intended usurpation of our right to self defense in the bud:
The legislation is currently being fast-tracked through the Senate. It’s expected to be placed on the Senate calendar next month once lawmakers return to Washington from their recess. No vote has currently been scheduled.
The legislation would also allow for any state official, member of Congress, or person affected by an executive action on gun control to launch a civil lawsuit.
