President Obama will be “subverting” Congress by taking executive action on gun control, Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said Monday.

The Speaker warned of a “dangerous level of executive overreach” by the president.

“While we don’t yet know the details of the plan, the president is at minimum subverting the legislative branch, and potentially overturning its will,” Ryan said in a statement.

“His proposals to restrict gun rights were debated by the United States Senate, and they were rejected,” Ryan continued. “No president should be able to reverse legislative failure by executive fiat, not even incrementally.”

Obama will meet with Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Monday to discuss ways in which the administration could implement new gun restrictions. The new steps, which could be announced on Tuesday, could include a requirement for more gun dealers to conduct background checks.
