Throughout President Barack Obama’s speech today on his new executive orders on guns, conservatives tweeted their responses.

Here are some of their top tweets:

Obama lists Fort Hood and San Bernardino terror attacks as examples of gun violence. Disgusting #StopGunViolence

Gee, how did this issue gets so partisan, asks the guy who says gun owners are awful people who want to see more crime.

Obama has openly supported Australian-style gun confiscation so his insistence that he doesn't want to take people's guns is quite odd

Reminder- Obama has still not mentioned the fact that violent crime has been cut almost in half over past 20 years.

When Obama says "mass violence" he's being extremely disingenuous. Homicides down more than 50% since 1992

Obama says we shouldn't impugn each other's motives, then continues to imply you want dead children if you oppose his gun control agenda

"This is not that complicated. The reason Congress blocks laws is they wan't to win elections" @POTUS says on gun rights fight

Obama: if "we could stop one act of [gun] violence" new rules are worth it. Ok, then why not stop sanctuary cities? #StopGunViolence

Did Obama require “expanded background checks” of Iran before assisting them in going nuclear?

— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 5, 2016

Obama just gave communist china as an example of good gun control
He wonders why Americans think he doesn't believe in the second amendment
