Washington, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Tom Graves (R-Ranger) issued the following statement after Vice President Joe Biden said yesterday that the White House is considering using executive orders to implement new gun control measures:

“When the president’s policies cannot pass Congress, it means the American people have rejected them. A White House order for new gun controls would be in clear defiance of the will of the people and our democratic process. As a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights, I reject this threat from the White House and am prepared to introduce legislation to repeal any executive order that infringes on our right to keep and bear arms.”

wake up cja8600 version 2.0. Wolves in disguise are amongst you now. This rep. preaches to the valuse of paying your bills and living within your means, while at the same time he walks into now defunct and gone bartow county bank with another member of the ga. legislature and got a personally guaranteed loan well north of a million or two-signed for a piece of paper and it was not repayed until forced to do so as the bank went under. and some court record shows his attorney blaming the bank for giving him the money that they knew he couldn't repay - so why ask for money you know you cannot repay?? because you don't intend to repay it maybe??? Way to go! you are so good let's send you to D.C. to play in the big leagues of "corrupt government". A government itself cannot be corrupt- only those who serve and work within it are corrupt. Morally, ethically, and quite literally.
