Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman threatened Monday afternoon that he would file articles of impeachment against President Barack Obama if he institutes gun control measures with an executive order.
Stockman warned that such executive orders would be “unconstitutional” and “infringe on our constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms.”
“I will seek to thwart this action by any means necessary, including but not limited to eliminating funding for implementation, defunding the White House, and even filing articles of impeachment,” Stockman said in a statement.
At his press conference Monday, Obama floated the possibility of using executive action to enact policies aimed at reducing gun violence.
The freshman congressman, who served one term in Congress in the mid-1990s, further labeled the possibility “an existential threat to this nation” because, he said, the purpose of the Second Amendment is to allow the people to protect themselves from tyranny.
“Any proposal to abuse executive power and infringe upon gun rights must be repelled with the stiffest legislative force possible,” he added. “Under no circumstances whatsoever may the government take any action that disarms any peaceable person — much less without due process through an executive declaration without a vote of Congress or a ruling of a court.”
He concluded by claiming that an executive order would be not just “not just an attack on the Constitution,” but also an “attack on Americans.”
“If the president is allowed to suspend constitutional rights on his own personal whims, our free republic has effectively ceased to exist,” he said.
Way to go Stockman!!!!!! Finally, a congressman with balls!!!! We need about 500 more Stockmans ! We need him as Speaker instead of Boner Boehner!!!!!!!!

No, no, no…..Nothing’s going to happen to Rep. Stockman, and there isn’t going to be any impeachment.
This is a phoney claim that will appease a large number of people who will now believe that the system is working, and they can go back to their sit-coms.
a decoy?
maybe – but he’s playing a very high-stakes game if he is.
if that’s the case then he’s probably dead either way!
Aw heck, that f`er Obama never should have been president in the first place because of all the lies he was involved with not to mention that phoney birth certificate.
Go for it! He must be impeached…
dont take it out on obama, he’s just a puppet.
it’s a case of do as your told and have an easy retirement, vs the kenedy treatment.
it’s bastards like zbig, kissinger, rockafella etc that are the problem.
