In a letter sent to his lieutenant governor and the state speaker of the house that was posted on his Facebook page, Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant (R) on Wednesday called for immediate legislation that  would make any “unconstitutional order” on gun policy taken by President Barack Obama “illegal to enforce in Mississippi by state and local law enforcement.”

Bryant wrote that the president’s executive order on guns — Obama and Vice President Joe Biden actually unveiled 23 executive actions on Wednesday — would likely infringe on the Second Amendment “as never before in American history.”
