Very poor behavior for a congressman not to mention some of the posters here, would have been nice for him to address the points in the EO rather than using foul language but that is what we come to expect.

I don't know any conservatives that had orgasms due to Obama's little acting job.

Because passing out guns like they were candy or toys is just so responsible
Many people are on the "no fly" list by mistake, the late Senator Ted Kennedy was on it.

I live in Tennessee, Andy Holt is not my representative but I wish he was. I am glad someone is willing to stand up for states rights. Obama is breaking the law with this new edict. I don't think anyone is obligated to obey it. Nor do I think all the other federal overreaches lately are legal, nor do I think any state is obligated to obey. States had the opportunity to reassert their constitutional rights when the gay marriage ruling came out this summer but none of the governors had the guts to do it. Andy Holt should be governor of Tennessee, he would have my vote. We need good states rights governors elected in all Southern states. Its time to stand up again, time to tell them NO. If that led to something bigger like another secessionist movement then so be it. Its time to be Americans again.

The only think that Andy Holt did was embarrass himself in front of the nation. What a classless dolt.

The last thing any nation needs is another George Wallace, but that's up to him..

How is hiring more ATF agents breaking the law, how is restricting purchases of machine guns through trusts breaking the law, how about $500M for mental health, research gun safety technology. Did you even read the EO or are you just ranting.

The last thing any nation needs is an overbearing federal government that violates the rights of its citizens. Andy Holt is just calling them out on those violations. I know the viewpoint is different up there in New England but one thing is the same. The constitution is the same, north or south. If it is not followed our peaceful happy union is done for.
