Last week, President Barack Obama stated that he will proceed with an executive action to take guns out of the hands of American citizens, but at least one state leader is planning to put up a fight.
Following Obama’s announcement, Texas Governor Greg Abbot tweeted a simple message at POTUS: “COME & TAKE IT.”

Abbot isn’t the only Republican leader to criticize Obama’s plan. Radio host and former Congressman Joe Walsh called the plan a “war” against the American people. (RELATED: Former Congressman Blasts Obama’s Gun Plan — ‘It’s War. Defy’ Him)
Obama is slated to meet with Attorney General Loretta Lynch Monday to finalize the “new gun control measures and will announce his package of proposals soon after,” reports Washington Post.
