Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) today released the following statement after President Obama announced a new executive order to restrict American gun ownership:

“I wish I could say that I was surprised by the President's latest announcement to skirt Congress in order to push through his gun control agenda.  President Obama continues to reference false, misleading statistics to justify infringing upon the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, and while I do believe that there are merits to addressing mental health and discussing ways to make our country safer, the proposals I have seen so far from this President do not get to the root of the problem.”

 
Congressman Steve Womack has represented Arkansas’s Third Congressional District since 2011 and serves on the House Appropriations Defense, Financial Services and General Government, and Labor-Health and Human Services subcommittees and the House Committee on the Budget.
