In a statement, Gohmert says, \u201cMost of the 23 items in President Obama\u2019s executive orders today are not on their face particularly troublesome, although doctors and insurance companies should not be encouraged to intrude, probe or spy into Americans\u2019 private lives for the government. The President\u2019s 23 executive actions are estimated to cost, according to various media outlets, about $500 million without accomplishing anything substantive. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTragedies such as the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary are heartbreaking, but it adds to the travesty when a politician grandstands with proposals that have already been proven completely ineffective. When armed intruders break into homes, the women or men relying on a gun to protect their family should not have to worry about the restrictions on how many rounds they can have in a clip or magazine. Criminals do not worry about complying with the law \u2013 they are criminals. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMental health issues that have languished for decades may be a fertile ground for bipartisan efforts to make a true difference. Perhaps, a good first step toward curbing gun violence may well be rebuilding the sanctity and importance of the family and the home.\u201d You can go to <a href=\"http:\/\/gohmert.house.gov\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/gohmert.house.gov\/<\/a> to read Gohmert\u2019s full statement. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON \u2014 East Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert weighed in Wednesday on President Obama\u2019s sweeping gun proposals.
