Rep. Ron Paul slams Obama over gun scandal, Second Amendment

Rep. Ron Paul slams Obama over gun scandal, Second Amendment: "Texas Rep. Ron Paul slammed President Obama Monday, questioning why the Justice Department was allowed to go forward with a program providing Mexican drug cartel members access to weapons, one of which eventually killed a border patrol guard.

“The ATF has a long history of abusing our Second Amendment rights, so I was glad to see Congressman Issa demanding answers on the Project ‘Gunwalker’ scandal,” Mr. Paul said.

“My hope is that the recent hearing will further expose the ATF’s and Attorney General Eric Holder’s assaults on law-abiding gun owners, and more people will start questioning the need for unconstitutional agencies like the ATF that exist solely to infringe on American citizens’ God-given right to keep and bear arms,” the Texas Republican added.

Mr. Paul continues to lag in a number of recent polls. The Texas Republican continues to travel to key political states, including Iowa and New Hampshire, meeting with potential supporters."
