Governor Bentley Encourages Alabama’s Congressional Delegation to Fight Obama’s Efforts on Gun Control

MONTGOMERY—Governor Robert Bentley on Monday issued a statement in response to President Obama’s plan to take executive action on gun control and encouraged Alabama’s congressional delegation to fight Obama’s efforts to hinder American’s 2^nd amendment right to bear arms.

“America’s founding fathers prioritized the right to keep and bear arms, and President Obama is overstepping his authority and threatening to take away our 2^nd amendment rights. It is unacceptable for the President to bypass Congress and the U.S. Constitution with his plan. The overreach by the President seems to be his preferred way of leading our country, and it is another reason why it is critical for Americans to send a conservative back to the White House in November. I encourage the Alabama congressional delegation to listen to the message of the Alabama people and fight to protect the fundamental rights of gun owners.”
