Republicans vow to fight Biden’s gun measures

Prominent Republicans are slamming President Biden’s executive actions on gun control — after the president said Thursday that “no amendment to the Constitution is absolute” — with the party appearing united in its vow to fight the efforts on the federal and state levels.

“Biden is threatening our 2nd Amendment rights,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott wrote on Twitter Thursday, “He just announced a new liberal power grab to take away our guns.” The GOP governor went on to warn that the Lone Star State would not “allow this” before calling on state representatives to pass legislation turning Texas into a sanctuary state for gun rights.
