Senator Fischer’s Statement on President Obama’s Executive Actions


“The president’s executive actions would not have stopped any of the recent mass shootings, nor do they address the root causes of violent crime. Instead, these executive actions infringe on the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens to bear arms. Our constitution was not meant to be altered by an exercise of presidential prerogative; it can only be done by the will of the people. I will fight this flagrant expansion of executive power and continue to protect the Second Amendment rights of our citizens.”
