Watch Live: Second House Hearing on IRS Scandal

Rep. Jeff Duncan Discusses Executive Order and Gun Control on ‘Wilkow!’

Jan. 14, 2013 8:42pm Christopher Santarelli

President Barack Obama gave his final press conference Monday before being inaugurated for a second term next week. During the previously unscheduled remarks the president used harsh rhetoric to portray House Republicans as a stubborn block in the road to his desires on the debt ceiling, and hinted that he would be willing to use executive order on gun control.

“I will not have that conversation with a gun at the head of the American people,” the president said, referring to his commitment to avoid another debt ceiling fight, during the press conference. “We have to break the habit of negotiating through crisis over and over again.”

“[Republican leaders] will not collect a ransom in exchange for not crashing the American economy,” he added. “The full faith and credit of the United States of America is not a bargaining chip.”

The president also said Monday that he is reviewing the recommendations from Vice President Joe Biden and his task force on reducing gun violence for an all-of-the-above approach to gun policy. When asked by a reporter if he is willing to use executive order, the president declined to give specifics but said he was “confident that there are some steps that we can take that don’t require legislation.”

Republican Rep. Jeff Duncan joined ‘Wilkow!’ Monday to discuss whether our Second Amendment rights are protected from executive order, and how the GOP will respond to the president’s comments on the debt ceiling:

Millions of Americans own SEMI-automatic rifles and use them for shooting sports and home defense. The rabidly leftist “gun control” advocates have gleefully latched on to the despicable acts in CT with a particularly vile political opportunism in their hearts, a copy of ‘Rules for Radicals’ (opened to the page with the line “let no crises go to waste”) in the one hand and a pen waiting to sign away our Second Amendment rights clutched in the other. This leftist, treasonous attempt to subjugate the rights granted by the wisdom of our forefathers (who they so vociferously despise) is done with the full knowledge that not one person will be saved by their treachery. Using their logic, one could make the case that because of the widespread carnage on our nation’s highways, all vehicles capable of driving in excess of 65mph should be banned or governors installed to restrict their speed and prohibition of alcohol should once again be in our Constitution. I wonder if these wackjobs would have been personally disappointed about the slaughter at Sandy Hook Elementary if the murderer had used two 5 gallon cans of gas instead.

The ETO was won with a rifle that had an 8 round magazine but we “need” 30 round magazines to protect the 2nd Amendment.

Sometimes it becomes necessary to water the Tree of Liberty with the blood of tyrants and patriots. That time is rapidly approaching.
