Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has scrutinized the Biden administration's gun control measures, saying that the administration's response to gun violence is just for show.

Abbott said that there is no acceptable way that a president by executive order can alter the Second Amendment rights.

Abbott said that if the president wanted to do more than a show with the gun control measures, he could do something "substantively."

"What he really could do by executive order is to eliminate the backlog of complaints that have already been filed about gun crimes that have taken place," Abbott was quoted in The Hill report.

Abbott tackled the executive orders that U.S. President Joe Biden signed last week in his interview on Fox News Sunday.

The Texas governor added that it was unlikely that he would support any new restrictions on gun control, noting that the public needs the Second Amendment rights, especially that the federal government is doing less to defend them.

He noted the cartels coming into their state, gang operations in their neighborhoods, and the defunding of police.

Abbott also tweeted regarding the matter, saying that the president is threatening the Second Amendment rights.

The Republican governor is standing firm that they will now allow these gun control measures in Texas, according to an Independent report.

Biden's Gun Control Measures

Biden has imposed a number of actions on gun control in light of several mass shootings across the country.

These measures include requiring serial numbers on untraceable weapons, known as ghost guns, that can be made from parts bought online.

Biden has also included buyer background checks in these measures, according to The Wallstreet Journal report.

The Democrat president also wants pistols modified with the kid of arm brace to be subjected to restrictions, such as submitting identifying information to the Department of Justice.

The Biden administration is also eyeing making $1 billion in grants available to violence intervention programs. At the same time, the Justice Department will issue a report on firearms trafficking, according to Attorney General Merrick Garland.

These measures were faced with opposition both from the National Rifle Association and some Republican lawmakers.

The NRA has opposed some of the measures, such as regulation on arm braces. Meanwhile, some Republicans dubbed the action as "unconstitutional."

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said that Senate will vote on legislation that has been already passed by the House.

However, the background-check measure is still short of 60 votes.

Mass Shootings

On March 16, eight people were killed at three spas in the Atlanta AREA. Out of the eight people, six were Asian women.

This marks the first mass shooting to have captured the country's attention in a year, raising the alarm in violence against Asian-Americans, according to The New York Times report.

On March 22, 10 people were killed in a grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, including a police officer.

The gunman was taken into custody and was injured.

On Thursday, a former American professional football player has killed five people in Rock Hill, South Carolina.

The former football player Philip Adams then returned to his parents' house and killed himself after a police standoff, according to an AFP News report.
