Congressman Steve Scalise (R-La.) issued the following statement today in response to President Obama's attempt distract from his failed record by circumventing Congress to undermine the Second Amendment:

"It is insulting to the American people that President Obama is attempting to take away the constitutionally protected rights of law abiding citizens in an obvious effort to change the subject away from his failure to keep America safe from radical Islamic terrorists," Rep. Scalise said. "I will do everything in my power to block any attempt by this President to restrict our Second Amendment rights, while our Republican-led House will continue focusing on ways to strengthen our military so we can secure our borders and defeat ISIS."
