We can’t let our foot off the gas!

Dear Patriot,

We must not let our foot off the gas.

Last year, you helped Texas Gun Rights defeat every gun control bill introduced in the Texas Legislature, while also leading the charge to pass historic Constitutional Carry legislation.

With another election season upon us, it is imperative we capitalize on the momentum YOU built.

And early voting for the March 1 Primary Election starts next week!

Radical anti-gun Leftists aren’t relenting on their quest to flip Texas “blue” — and many limp-wristed, gun-control-supporting sissies are hoping to ride the coattails of two-time loser “Beto” O’Rourke into legislative offices down the ballot.

Look, I’m under no false assumption Beto will EVER take hold of the Governor’s mansion in Texas.

But another “Beto wave,” like the one we saw in 2018, could set the table for a dangerous environment where establishment Republicans sell out gun owners for political favors.

If you’ve been following Texas Gun Rights for a while, you know exactly what I’m talking about…

That’s why Texas Gun Rights is going all-out to hold candidates for office accountable this election season — and why Texas Gun Rights PAC is doing all it can to elect the strongest pro-gun individuals running for office.

In fact, Texas Gun Rights PAC is endorsing ten pro-gun candidates across the Lone Star State!
 


★ Rep. Bryan Slaton – HD 2

Gun Rights Champion Rep. Slaton was crucial to not only passing Constitutional Carry in Texas, but also to amending the bill to protect the rights of foster parents carrying handguns in their vehicles.

Because of this, and his strong opposition to every gun control bill any legislator filed, he is also a recipient of the National Association for Gun Rights’ .50 Caliber Freedom Award.
 


★ Rep. Matt Schaefer – HD 6

Rep. Schaefer is the author of HB 1927, the 2021 Constitutional Carry bill. He also worked with TXGR to amend his bill to prevent liberal municipalities like Austin and Dallas from ignoring Constitutional Carry.

Along with Rep. Slaton, he received the National Association for Gun Rights’ .50 Caliber Freedom Award for his part in securing Constitutional Carry.

★ Patrick McGuinness – HD 52
★ Mike Olcott – HD 60
★ Jim Herblin – HD 61
★ Shelley Luther – HD 62
★ Andy Hopper – HD 64
★ Eric Bowlin – HD 70
★ Carrie Isaac – HD 73
★ Mark Dorazio – HD 122

Every TXGR PAC-endorsed candidate returned a 100% pro-gun Texas Gun Rights Candidate Survey pledging to fight for hardcore pro-gun legislation and reject every attempt at gun control.

And our surveys aren’t weak, “everyone gets an ‘A’ rating” surveys like we see time and again from the establishment gun lobby.

We don’t believe in participation trophies when it comes to defending your right to keep and bear arms!

With your support, TXGR PAC will keep weak-kneed politicians out of office and take over more of the legislature with truly pro-gun candidates.

In addition to the PAC program, TXGR’s election accountability program is running issue discussion in key districts of anti-gun incumbents like Stephanie Klick (HD 91) and Glenn Rogers (HD 60).

We are running mail, email, and digital ads to inform voters of Klick and Rogers’ votes against Constitutional Carry for military-aged adults, college campuses, and the dozens of Texas campgrounds on lands managed by the Lower Colorado River Authority — creating a confusing patchwork of laws that could land otherwise law-abiding gun owners in jail.

Rep. Rogers even publicly opposed Constitutional Carry before changing his tune once it was clear the bill would pass with or without him.

Pretend “pro-gun” charlatans like these cannot hide behind their lies when TXGR’s program hits their districts.

With our candidate survey, every single challenger to these incumbents who voted AGAINST pro-gun amendments are on the record pledging to vote FOR them in the Texas House.

How beautiful is that?

Holding politicians accountable during election season is necessary to expanding gun rights in Texas and stopping pushes for gun control next session.

The only reason Constitutional Carry ever became law is because your Texas Gun Rights consistently made politicians fear the repercussions of their votes come election day by mobilizing the gun-owning grassroots.

None of this would have been possible without the support of members like you.

The work you are supporting right now is crucial to passing legislation like Constitutional Carry expansion, a statewide BAN on “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation, and a true Second Amendment Sanctuary law that provides legal punishment for government agents who violate the gun rights of Texans.

If legislators will not do their job and fight for the gun rights of their citizens, their citizens should be informed of their actions.

That is exactly what your support allows us to do. And your hard work isn’t just affecting Texas.

As gun owners in other states saw the walloping you gave the anti-gun establishment in the Constitutional Carry fight, they started pushing hard for gun rights themselves.

“Why can’t we be like Texas?” is the rallying cry across the country.

But you know as well as I do that Texas doesn’t always live up to its pro-gun reputation.

Republicans Governor Greg Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick were pushing for “Red Flag” hearings just in 2019.

There is still a long way to go to make Texas the pro-gun state you want it to be for yourself and your family, and I am so grateful that I can stand with you to make that happen.

Every contribution you make to this fight gets us closer to a world where the promise of the Second Amendment is reality.

Help me show the political class that “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

Stop Biden's Antigun Takeover

Brace Yourself

Dear Fellow Patriot,

Brace yourself.

Democrats in D.C. are grasping at every chance to expand gun control.

The anti-gun cabal are doing everything they can to punish law-abiding citizens who dare to exercise their Second Amendment rights to defend their life, liberty, or property.

From “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation, to Universal Gun Registration, to persecuting and prosecuting innocent citizens like Kyle Rittenhouse – but with Joe Biden in the White House, this isn’t surprising…

We cannot let Biden’s anti-gun agenda take root in the Lone Star State because, as you know, “As Texas goes, so goes the nation.”

We must send a resounding message to the federal government: HANDS OFF THE SECOND AMENDMENT!

And the best way to do that is by passing TRUE Second Amendment Sanctuary legislation in Austin.

So help us draw a line in the sand by signing your “Stop Biden’s Anti-Gun Agenda” pledge today!

I’m sure you remember Republicans in the state legislature declared victory when they passed a so-called “Second Amendment Sanctuary” bill just last year.

Unfortunately, this bill was about as effective as a letter to Santa Clause.

Texas’ “Second Amendment Sanctuary” law provides no avenue for enforcement, leaving gun-owning Texans vulnerable to creepy Joe’s gun-grabbing fingers.

We must fix this law by empowering local sheriffs to arrest and jail ANY federal agent who dares to enforce unconstitutional gun laws on law-abiding Texans… making it a TRUE Second Amendment Sanctuary law.

And we must act quickly.

Democrat wonder boy Robert Francis O’Rourke is running for Governor — the highest office in the state.

You may remember that before deciding to run, “Beto” was snuggling up to Biden in hopes of becoming his “gun control czar.”

Thankfully, those dreams came crashing down just like his last two campaigns.

But the anti-gun swamp creatures in D.C. aren’t pinning all their hopes solely on Beto’s campaign.

If you recall, it was the 2018 Beto wave that allowed down-ballot anti-gunners to flip twelve legislative seats.

Republicans in 2022 simply do not have the numbers to allow them to have that kind of success again.

Needless to say — if no one stands in their way RIGHT NOW — gun grabbers could have a hay day in 2022.

And they will only be emboldened by two more years of Democrat control of the White House pronouncing whatever “emergency gun control” orders they can dream up.

That is why it is so important to get would-be legislators on record supporting real Second Amendment Sanctuary legislation, not just an empty bill with a pretty name.

Only the real thing will do.

That’s why Texas Gun Rights is pushing for TRUE Second Amendment Sanctuary legislation that will lock up government agents attempting to enforce unconstitutional gun control from D.C.

This legislation is important because no matter which party controls the presidency or Congress, the tentacles of anti-gun organizations like the ATF will be trying to strangle the Second Amendment.

Remember, even President Trump listened to anti-gun advisors and banned bump stocks back in 2018.

Imagine what Biden — or Kamala Harris — will do given the chance!

Texas cannot afford to leave our rights at the mercy of D.C. elites.

But state politicians will not defend your rights without pressure, so I need to know you are behind us.

So please sign your “Stop Biden’s Anti-Gun Agenda” pledge today!

With your support, I know we can make enforceable Second Amendment Sanctuary legislation a key issue in the Texas elections.

After years of the Texas media and political establishment saying Constitutional Carry would never pass, YOU proved them wrong.

And in doing so, you also proved that Texas gun owners will not rest until our Second Amendment rights are protected and RESTORED.

Now, it is time to deal a massive blow against Joe Biden’s anti-gun agenda by providing state protection to the Texas gun owners he is targeting.

Texas Gun Rights is working hard to get candidates on the record saying whether they will stand up to Joe Biden with a TRUE Second Amendment Sanctuary law or not.

I need your support immediately to push this issue in the 2022 election season and on into the next legislative session.

A free Texas is the worst nightmare of Democrat mega-donors like Michael Bloomberg, and simply can’t match his spending abilities.

With Beto drawing the eyes (and pocketbooks) of wealthy liberals nationwide, Texas is bound to see a tsunami of money spent fighting pro-gun efforts.

But my hope is that even if we do not have billions to spend and the backing of the mainstream media, Texas Gun Rights has you.

So after you fill out your pledge, I hope you’ll please agree to a very generous contribution of $100.

I know that I’m asking for an amount that for some will be out of the question.

But if you can afford this amount, please know that 2022 is a critical year for Texas — especially with the pending onslaught of Beto Bucks to be spent on our state.

If $100 is just too much right now, I hope you can give $50.

And if that is not possible, please agree to contribute to TXGR by giving $25 or even $5 today.

 

No matter what you decide, please sign your “Stop Biden’s Anti-Gun Agenda” pledge today.

I am counting on you.

For Texas and Liberty,

Chris McNutt
Executive Director
Texas Gun Rights


P.S. Texas is ground zero for Joe Biden’s anti-gun agenda — we must fight back RIGHT AWAY!

That’s why Texas Gun Rights is pushing for a TRUE Second Amendment Sanctuary legislation that will lock up government agents who dare to enforce unconstitutional gun control on law-abiding Texans!

What are they thinking?

Fellow Patriot,

Doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results.

That’s how Albert Einstein defined insanity.

When it comes to the NRA’s recent glowing endorsement of Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, they are either insane or have a severe case of selective amnesia.

That’s because Dan Patrick has been a thorn in the side of Texas gun owners for years!

In 2015, Patrick lashed out at gun activists for supporting “Open Carry” legislation — a law that was already on the books in nearly 40 states across America.

He even famously stated that the legislation “didn’t have the votes” in his Republican-controlled Senate as he tried killing the bill behind the scenes.

As a staffer in the Texas Senate at the time, I remember vividly how angry Dan Patrick was with grassroots activists who supported both Open Carry and Constitutional Carry.

He even punished Senator Don Huffines for filing the Constitutional Carry bill that generated the lion’s share of phone calls from constituents into his office.

Thanks ONLY to the persistent grassroots pressure from Texans across the state, Open Carry ended up being passed in 2015 in spite of Patrick’s opposition…

Sadly, Patrick was successful in watering the Open Carry bill down to require a license…which was more restrictive than the 31 states who enjoyed open carry WITHOUT a license.

Like clockwork, the NRA sang Patrick’s praises and proudly endorsed him for re-election in 2018 as a pro-gun hero.

But then it got worse.

Much worse.
 

Texas Scorecard


In 2019, following the actions of deranged criminals in El Paso and Midland-Odessa, Lt. Governor Patrick joined Governor Abbott and disgraced former Speaker Dennis Bonnen in launching a Gun Control Roadshow — a series of legislative hearings held across the state to discuss “reasonable” forms of gun control.

Essentially, they unilaterally decided to punish law-abiding gun owners for the actions of a criminal.

Even Governor Abbott said in closed door meetings that the Texas Legislature “must pass Republican gun control” to stop Democrats from passing something worse.

Apparently, he missed the memo where Republicans held solid majorities over the Texas Legislature!

But Lt. Governor Patrick went further off the deep end by endorsing Obama-era “Universal Background Checks,” more accurately known as Universal Gun Registration.

He was hell-bent on forcing every gun sale through the heavily flawed “NICS” Federal Gun Registry… effectively prohibiting the private sale, borrowing, or gifting of a firearm without first obtaining the government permission.

How weak.

Even the New York Times took notice of Patrick’s famous anti-gun stance.
 

NY Times


Thankfully, Texas Gun Rights activists quickly mobilized against Patrick to defeat this draconian gun control nightmare and delivered over 20,000 “No Gun Control Mandate” petitions to his office.
 

NGCNM petitions


Even though Patrick was quickly swatted down by pro-gun Texans, it didn’t take long for him to start acting up once again.

In 2021, Constitutional Carry legislation sailed through the Texas House of Representatives — thanks to the grassroots pressure generated by Texas Gun Rights members and supporters.

Just days before the House voted the bill out of its chamber, rumors were swirling through the Capitol that Patrick was whipping up anti-gun law enforcement unions to lobby against Constitutional Carry at the Capitol.

Patrick wanted Constitutional Carry to die in the House so he wouldn’t have to deal with it…
 

Dallas Police Chief


Thankfully, Patrick’s wishes were shattered when the Texas House passed Constitutional Carry — with the help of eight Democrats!

But yet again, Patrick said Constitutional Carry “didn’t have the votes” in the Republican-controlled, “more conservative” Texas Senate… essentially declaring it dead on arrival.

Sound familiar?

This time, however, Patrick faced near-instant backlash — and he sneakily tried appeasing gun owners by filing a separate, weaker Constitutional Carry bill in the Senate… to start the legislative process over and run out the clock!

Texas Gun Rights quickly sniffed out his dirty play and demanded that the House version of Constitutional Carry be taken up in the Senate by connecting thousands of our members’ phone calls to his office.

Patrick eventually let the House Constitutional Carry bill through committee, but worked with RINO’s in the Senate to add amendments to water it down on the Senate floor and potentially kill it.

Not only that, I received trusted intel that Dan Patrick told the NRA lobbyist for Texas that Constitutional Carry was DEAD.

Meanwhile, Patrick was in the media gloating about Constitutional Carry moving through the Senate… talk about talking out of both sides of his mouth!
 

Texas Chairman


Thankfully, Texas Gun Rights teamed up with then Republican Party Chair Lt. Col. Allen West to turn up the pressure on Patrick — exposing and putting an end to Patrick’s shenanigans.

Texas Gun Rights members and supporters from across the state made it clear that there was no excuse Constitutional Carry shouldn’t become law and if it didn’t, Patrick would be to blame.

Finally, that’s when Patrick knew he had lost and worked with the conference committee to finally get the bill to the Governor’s desk.

Gun Rights Victory


In spite of all of this, Patrick was invited to sit next to NRA Vice President Wayne La Pierre and Governor Abbott at the Constitutional Carry bill signing at the Alamo.

“Birds of a feather flock together…”

Now, the NRA is emphatically endorsing Dan Patrick for re-election as a “strong supporter of the Second Amendment in Texas,” and puffing up his credentials with an “A+” rating — even claiming that he helped pass Constitutional Carry.

How pathetic.

It is this type of behavior from the compromising establishment gun lobby – who would rather preserve relationships with politicians than hold them accountable for their anti-gun actions — that Texas has lagged behind much of the nation in pro-gun freedom for so long.

In many ways, the Texas Legislature and the NRA have been “all hat and no cattle” in Texas until the activism of TXGR members and supporters forced them to play more than just lip service to the Second Amendment.

Rest assured your Texas Gun Rights will never bend a knee to compromise, and your Second Amendment rights will always be our #1 priority — not relationships and fancy steak dinners with sell-out politicians.

That’s also why we’re doing all we can to hold anti-gun politicians and candidates for office accountable before the upcoming primary elections.

So please, consider chipping in $10, $20, or whatever you can afford to help Texas Gun Rights continue fighting for the Second Amendment in Texas.

We truly appreciate your support!

For Texas and Liberty,

Chris McNutt

Texas Gun Rights


P.S. The establishment gun lobby is proudly backing Lt. Governor Dan Patrick for re-election — in spite of years of backstabbing gun owners.

How absurd!

Rest assured your Texas Gun Rights will never bend a knee to compromise, and your Second Amendment rights will always be our #1 priority — not relationships and fancy steak dinners with sell-out politicians.

That’s also why we’re doing all we can to hold anti-gun politicians and candidates for office accountable before the upcoming primary elections.

So please, consider chipping in $10, $20, or whatever you can afford to help Texas Gun Rights continue fighting for the Second Amendment in Texas.

Republicans helping gun grabbers?

Patriot,

Establishment RINOs are setting the table for anti-gun Democrats… and your Second Amendment rights are on the menu.

Republican leadership redrew the districts of pro-gun conservatives to make room for gun control-loving Democrat candidates.

Yes, you read that right.

Leading up to an election that will determine the future of our most precious rights in Texas, Republicans in Austin are helping more radical Democrats get elected.

After the fit establishment types like Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick pitched when the grassroots demanded Constitutional Carry, this shouldn’t be a surprise.

Politicians from the left and the right are both itching to get back to the swampy status quo in Austin where they can push for gun control and even repeal Texas’ popular new Constitutional Carry law.

But with your help, Texas Gun Rights will expose anti-gun politicians before they get into office.

So please, sign your Texas Gun Rights Pledge today to EXPOSE anti-gun politicians in 2022!

Gun rights champions Rep. Kyle Biedermann and Rep. Jeff Cason were both drawn into unfavorable legislative districts by the vengeful establishment as punishment for their part in pushing Constitutional Carry.

Rep. Cason was even drawn into a majority blue area essentially handing Democrats another seat in the House of Representatives!

Both of these legislators worked with Texas Gun Rights to make HB 1927 a true Constitutional Carry bill and push it through the State House.

Clearly, protecting the gun rights of Texans is an unforgivable offense to the elitist politicians down in Austin.

While Republican leaders are already surrendering to demands with the new district map, Democrats are showing no signs of returning the favor.

In the last special session, several Democrats filed radical bills such as Universal Gun Registration, Red Flag Gun Confiscation, and New York-style gun bans.

And of course, with Beto (Mr. “Hell yes we’ll take your AR-15!”) running for Governor, Texans can expect serious attacks on gun rights in the near future.

Don’t forget, Beto’s last statewide campaign against Sen. Cruz in 2018 flipped several state house districts blue by bolstering the support for far left candidates down ballot.

And it is clear that for Beto and the Democrats riding on his coattails, gun control is a top priority.

In his campaign announcement video, Beto even attacked Constitutional Carry supporters, calling you “divisive” and promising to ram through more anti-gun restrictions in law if he wins.

But Texas Gun Rights is not about to let these gun grabbers steamroll through election season and into office without a fight.

To defeat the unholy alliance of establishment RINOs and anti-gun Democrats, Texas Gun Rights is launching our primary accountability program.

This election season, TXGR needs to reach gun owners all over the state with the truth about where their candidates for office stand on their rights.

Unlike the milquetoast establishment gun lobby, Texas Gun Rights holds candidates feet to the fire – getting them on record with their stance on issues like Expanding Constitutional Carry and Banning Red Flag Gun Confiscation from Texas.

And you can be sure that constituents of incumbents who fought against gun rights last session hear from us this election season.

I want to layer the districts of bad politicians with program to inform and mobilize gun owners in their districts to hold their legislators’ feet to the fire.

This is the strategy that secured Constitutional Carry and it is the only way to stop the all-out assault on your rights by the Austin establishment.

But to accomplish these goals I must have you backing our efforts.

So please, sign your Texas Gun Rights Pledge to expose anti-gun politicians.

Thanks to supporters like you, we have the momentum needed to hold anti-gun incumbents accountable and expose candidates who run under the “pro-gun” banner but will not take a stand for your right to keep and bear arms when it matters most.

But I must be able to count on your support today to fight back against gun control zealots like “Beto” O’Rourke and any RINOs willing to go along with his demands.

You see, Beto’s run will bolster campaign funds for many leftists down the ballot. We could be in for a drastic increase of gun control activists in the legislature if we don’t remain vigilant.

And of course, noodle-spined Republicans are more than happy to roll over on Second Amendment issues if they think it will spare attacks from the left.

We must make it clear that caving to the Gun Control Lobby has terrible consequences.

Now Texas Gun Rights’ program is far more effective than anything the anti-gun establishment can throw our way – but only if we can pay for it.

I will be completely honest with you, I don’t currently have the resources needed to execute our program like I want to.

Without an influx of funding from patriots all over Texas, I will be forced to cut key sections of our Accountability Program.

So after you fill out your pledge, I hope you’ll please agree to your generous contribution of $250.

I know I’m asking for a lot, but 2022 is looking to be a critical year for Texas — especially with the pending onslaught of Beto Bucks to be spent on our state.

But if $250 is just too much right now, I hope you can give $100.

And if you’re just stretched too thin from the holidays, please agree to assist TXGR by giving $70 today.

Whatever you decide, please be sure to sign your Texas Gun Rights pledge today.

I am honored to fight alongside patriots like you.

For Texas and Liberty,

Will you be disarmed?

Patriot,

Gun registration always comes before confiscation.

Germany under Hitler, China under Mao, Russia under Stalin… and if we don’t take a stand, America under Biden.

The Biden-Harris Administration is desperate to catalogue every gun owner in America with Universal Gun Registration.

That is why Democrats… and so-called “moderate” Republicans are pushing this authoritarian policy so hard.

I need your help to stop this nightmare from coming to Texas, so please sign your Stop Universal Gun Registration petition today!

With record numbers of citizens buying a gun for the first time after the violence of the 2020 riots, the anti-Second Amendment establishment is panicking.

Tyrants from all throughout history always disarm the populace, so it’s no surprise that the power-hungry politicians of today are following suit.

But to do that, they must first have a list of armed citizens. That is the reason anti-gun activists love Universal Gun Registration.

This so-called “common sense” policy would require every single gun sale to be approved by the government and give the government a record of every firearm you own.

All gun purchasers would be funneled into the Brady-NICS registry. Meaning, you could no longer sell your long gun, buy one from a private seller, or give or receive one as a gift without getting government approval first.

Neighbors and friends would be unable to sell firearms to each other.

You could end up a criminal just for loaning your gun to a hunting buddy.

Tell your legislators to take a stand against this tyranny by signing your Stop Universal Gun Registration petition today!

Forcing law-abiding citizens to ask for government permission to own a firearm is a clear violation of the Second Amendment.

And of course, the Brady-NICS system is notoriously broken.

Americans trying to legally purchase guns are often turned away for something as simple as having the same name as a criminal, while multiple criminals with lengthy serious wrap sheets have made it through the background check without any issue.

It should not even be possible for your gun rights to be denied because of bureaucratic incompetency.

Universal Gun Registration dramatically increases the number of people in the system, only making mistakes like this more prevalent.

You would think Texas Republicans that run as “pro-gun” would have no issue rejecting this nonsense, but they are some of the worst offenders.

Just look at Republican Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, one of the most powerful men in the state government.

He proudly proclaims his support for Universal Gun Registration, even swearing to “take the lead” on forcing Texas to adopt this unconstitutional policy.

And as we saw in the fight for Constitutional Carry, far too many Republican Senators are willing to compromise on gun rights to secure a few crumbs of power from Dan Patrick.

Texans clearly cannot trust the politicians in Austin to do the right thing without applying pressure to them.

If we let RINOs get away with caving to the anti-gun screeching from the Left, it will spell disaster for gun owners.

That is why I need your help to fight back now!

TXGR has defeated the Austin swamp rats before — even passing Constitutional Carry! — but I am not able to do anything without your pressure on lawmakers.

Your support and your action are the backbone of Texas Gun Rights.

So sign your petition to your lawmakers insisting they oppose Universal Gun Registration.

And please consider giving your most generous contribution to Texas Gun Rights to help us mobilize more pro-gun patriots in the fight for your gun rights in the Lone Star State!

It takes serious grassroots pressure to stop gun control when the Republican establishment starts to push it, but it can be done.

Just look at our sister organization, Florida Gun Rights, who killed a bill being pushed last year by Republicans Bill Galvano and Tom Lee which would have included Universal Gun Registration.

If this can be accomplished in Florida, I know that Texans can beat back this anti-gun policy twice as hard.

With your support, Texas Gun Rights demolished attempts by Governor Greg Abbott and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick to push “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation in 2019 and early 2020.

But only through your ongoing vigilance can we defeat these threats to our right to keep and bear arms.

So please, in addition to signing your petition, consider funding our fight with a gift of $250 right away.

I know that’s a lot to ask, but our members are our greatest asset against the well-funded Austin establishment.

But if $250 is just too much of a stretch, I hope you’ll agree to $100, or $70 to help us continue fighting on all fronts.

The looming threat of Universal Gun Registration is too big to ignore, so whatever you decide please don’t delay in signing your petition.

For Freedom,


Chris McNutt

P.S. The Biden-Harris Administration is desperate to catalogue every gun owner in America with Universal Gun Registration.

Beto is coming after Constitutional Carry

Patriot,

Gubernatorial hopeful Robert Francis — or as he insists on being called “Beto” — O’Rourke is coming out swinging against Texas gun owners by attacking Constitutional Carry.

Let’s be real though, this is no surprise.

Democrats like Bitter Beto have been pounding their fists and screaming at the sky even before Constitutional Carry was passed earlier this year.

The ability of more Texans to protect themselves from rioters, would-be murderers, and rapists does not appeal to the Left because it does not give them more power or feed their ego.

When Texans can protect themselves, gun grabbers lose.

After nearly a decade long battle, Texas finally passed Constitutional Carry into law this year. But if anti-gun Democrats get their way, you can be sure it will be the first thing on the chopping block.

And even if Beto loses yet another campaign for office, his run will attract floods of money from National Democrats like Joe Biden and Michael Bloomberg.

This is exactly what happened in 2018, where many Republican districts flipped riding on the coattails of Beto’s failed run for Senate.

We are going to have to go toe-to-toe with the Beto-backing Gun Control Lobby this election season to expose their agenda. That’s why I need to make sure Texas Gun Rights has your support.

With your 2022 Texas Gun Rights membership up for renewal, I’m counting on your IMMEDIATE action.
 

TXGR 2022 Membership Renewal


In Beto’s announcement video for his Governor run, he directly rebuked Constitutional Carry and the law’s supporters. He called people like you “divisive.”

That’s pretty rich coming from a politician famous for yelling “Hell yes, we’ll take your AR-15!” at Americans while running for president.

It is clear that Robert Francis will do anything to further chip away at your right to keep and bear arms, but he’s not the only threat facing gun owners.

Sadly, there are many RINOs in power who would rather cater to Democrats than listen to gun owning Texans.

Unfortunately, this comes as no surprise. Just look at Texas’ Lt. Governor Dan Patrick.

Besides delaying and fighting Constitutional Carry, he has openly advocated for “Universal Gun Registration” and pushed “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation hearings in Texas.

But don’t lose hope, Patriot. You see, getting good pro-gun policy is all about forcing bad politicians to do good things or removing them from office.

That is what I need your help with today.
 

TXGR 2022 Membership Renewal


It was only because of your pressure that Constitutional Carry was passed this year.

And in 2019, it was only because of your support that Texas Gun Rights was able to defeat Governor Abbott and Lt. Governor Patrick’s “Gun Control Roadshow” pushing “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation across the state.

Now, with the threat of slimy establishment Republicans and well-funded anti-gun termites like Beto O’Rourke, I need to know that you still have my back.

No fight can be won without you in our corner, so please renew your TXGR membership and help us kick Beto, Biden, and Bloomberg to the curb.
 

TXGR 2022 Membership Renewal


With the money that will be pouring into Texas this election season — to repeal Constitutional Carry and install an anti-gun Governor — we have our work cut out for us.

Patriot, can I count on you to go above and beyond by committing to a life membership with a one-time $500 donation?

I know I’m asking for a lot, but I hope you see just how important your support is to helping me defend your gun rights.

But if you can’t do that, would you increase your $30 membership dues by $30, for a total of $60?

And if neither of those are possible, renew your Texas Gun Rights membership for only $30.

Whatever you choose, please know that your support today would mean the world to me.

Thank you for making Texas Gun Rights the leader in the fight for the Second Amendment in Texas.

TXGR Legislative Alert News

Texas Gun Rights VICTORY!

Dear Fellow Patriot,

It is an idea whose time has come.

After years of your phone calls, petitions, postcards, and financial support, the fight for Constitutional Carry finally paid off as Texas’ new Constitutional Carry law goes into effect TODAY.

That means law-abiding Texans no longer need to beg for a government permission slip to legally carry a handgun in public — open or concealed! To learn EXACTLY what this means for you, you can check out this FREE Constitutional Carry guide from U.S. Law Shield.

Fellow Patriot, future generations of Texans will look back to you as the gun rights grassroots that won this great political battle for their Second Amendment rights.

For the past 8 years and 4 legislative sessions, Texas Gun Rights members and supporters have been leading the charge by making Constitutional Carry the #1 gun rights issue in the state of Texas.

Since 2013, TXGR has spent nearly two million dollars linking the legislative session to the election season, ensuring ALL legislators and candidates knew pro-gun Texans expected nothing less than Constitutional Carry.

After mobilizing gun owners through mail, email, text messages, digital ads, radio ads, and even TV ads, no other group has come close to matching our firepower in Texas — and it’s helped us tear down the persistent roadblocks thrown up by the Austin political establishment.

Here is a snapshot of what TXGR members helped us accomplish in 2021 alone:

Texas Gun Rights VICTORY!

With Texas finally on board, one in three Americans now live in a Constitutional Carry state!

As exciting as this victory is, our work is not done, Fellow Patriot.

When the legislature reconvenes in 2023, we must continue working to ensure ALL law-abiding Texans are treated equally under the new Constitutional Carry law.

For example, military-aged Texans under 21 will still not be able to carry their handgun under the new Constitutional Carry law.

That means thousands of young men and women are being left defenseless, preventing many young parents from protecting their children.

Law-abiding Texans visiting or living on college campuses must still obtain a license to carry on top of the red tape from their college campus.

But that’s not all.

Lands managed by the Lower Colorado River Authority — including many parks and camp sites — will also still require an LTC to carry a handgun on the land.

Licenses shouldn’t grant special privileges, Fellow Patriot.

Ultimately, ALL law-abiding individuals should be allowed to carry in the same areas where LTC holders can carry.

That is why Texas Gun Rights will continue fighting for EVERY law-abiding citizen’s right to carry in the Lone Star State!

You have made Texas more safe and free and I am proud to stand by you in the fight for gun rights in Texas.

Thank you so much for your hard work.

P.S. You no longer need to beg for a government permission slip to legally carry your handgun in public, open or concealed… Texas is a Constitutional Carry state!

As exciting as this victory is, our work is not done, Fellow Patriot.

When the legislature reconvenes in 2023, we must continue working to ensure ALL law-abiding Texans are treated equally under the new Constitutional Carry law.

So please chip in $50 or even $15 to help TXGR continue fighting for gun rights in Texas!

Don’t be fooled, it is still illegal!

Fellow Patriot,

The ATF just can’t help themselves.

For those who don’t remember, Texas’ new “Suppressor Freedom” law repealing the state criminalization of suppressor possession will go into effect on September 1st.

That means, under Texas law, any suppressors “Made in Texas” and remain in Texas will be exempt from federal regulations…in theory.

No more begging the Federal Government for permission or paying a tax to protect your ears for using a “Made in Texas” suppressor for your firearm at the range.

Or at least that was the intent.

Unsurprisingly, Joe Biden’s ATF disagrees.

The ATF is flexing its muscles by threatening Texas FFL dealers and telling them they must STILL bend the knee to the Federal Government when it comes to suppressors.

In fact, the ATF recently issued a letter to all Texas FFL dealers informing them that federal law reigns supreme over Texas’ “suppressor freedom” law.

Anyone not willing to go to jail should manufacture or possess a suppressor at their own risk.

Sadly, this was expected from the beginning.

After Kansas passed a similar law in recent years, Shane Cox — an otherwise law-abiding gun store owner — was found guilty of violating federal laws for the manufacture, sale, and possession of unregistered firearms and silencers.

One of his customers, Jeremy Kettler, was also found guilty on one count of possessing an unregistered silencer… even though it was “made in Kansas.”

Thankfully, both men only received probation and fines for their convictions after a lengthy court battle.

In spite of receiving support from the State Attorney General — and attempts to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court — President Trump encouraged the court to ignore the case.

And ignore it they did!

Under Texas’ new law, probation and a fine is the BEST case scenario anyone could hope for if they decide to exercise their newfound “Suppressor Freedom.”

But with a Biden-controlled ATF now in charge, I wouldn’t hold my breath!

That is exactly why Texas Gun Rights is fighting for a true Second Amendment Sanctuary law WITH TEETH.

A true Second Amendment Sanctuary law would empower local, county, and state law enforcement officials to throw federal agents in jail if they dare to infringe upon the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Texans!

That is why I hope you’ll chip in $15 or even $5 to help TXGR continue fighting to defend the Second Amendment in Texas!

It was only because of YOUR support — through pressure on your elected officials and generous financial contributions — that Texas finally became the 21st Constitutional Carry state.

Only with your continued support will we make sure Texas remains a beacon of hope for pro-gun patriots across America!

Thank you for your dedication and vigilance.

TXGR Matt Rinaldi Chairman

Gun Rights champion elected as Texas Republican Party Chair

Gun Rights champion elected as Texas Republican Party Chair

July 15, 2021

Fellow Patriot,

I’ve got great news!

Pro-gun former legislator Matt Rinaldi was elected as the new Texas Republican Party Chair.

Rinaldi is replacing outgoing Chair, LT. Col. Allen West, who partnered with TXGR for the Constitutional Carry fight in Texas.


Texas Gun Rights is happy to see Matt Rinaldi chosen as the new Chair.

This move could be a good sign for things to come in Texas, as Rinaldi fought for several pro-gun issues while he was a State Representative, including open carry and Constitutional Carry.

Not only that, but it was Matt Rinaldi who authored Texas’ “Church Carry” law, which ultimately saved many parishioners at the White Settlement Church of Christ just a few short years ago.

But as we know, Rinaldi’s election will not be enough to reign in anti-gun Republicans determined to compromise with anti-gun Democrats.

To have a strong voice in the Texas Legislature next session, pro-gun Texans must continue sending a loud message to politicians that they expect them to defend and restore the Second Amendment… and we must continue shining a light on legislators who dare try to compromise your rights away!

And with the huge Constitutional Carry win, you can bet that deep-pocketed Democrats from across the country have their targets fixed on Texas.

With anti-gunners like Beto O’Rourke and Matthew McConaughey plotting a run for Governor, you can bet Texas’ “gun freedom” will be at risk.

But the good news is Rinaldi’s chairmanship is further proof that gun rights continue to be a winning issue in Texas.

So candidates must know that if they run as a “conservative Republican,” supporting gun rights are non-negotiable.

But it is not enough to hide behind bloated ratings from the establishment gun lobby without fighting.

All legislators and candidates are expected to stand publically against ALL gun control in Texas: NO COMPROMISE!

With elections around the corner, Texans will no doubt hear from many Republican candidates claiming to be “pro-Second Amendment,” but to secure more pro-gun wins in the Lone Star State, the wheat must be separated from the chaff.

That is why I am so thankful for TXGR supporters like you, Fellow Patriot.

Without your support, conservative Texans would be left defenseless against the onslaught of political spending from the likes of Michael Bloomberg and Texas would not be a Constitutional Carry state.

So please chip in $15 or even $5 to help TXGR keep fighting for your gun rights in Austin!

Texas is in a prime spot for more pro-gun wins — but ONLY if we hold politicians accountable for their stance on gun rights, regardless of party.

Forcing BAD politicians to do GOOD things!

Forcing BAD politicians to do GOOD things!

June 18, 2021

Constitutional Carry HB 1927 was FINALLY signed into law, after years of foot-dragging, roadblocks, and excuses from the spineless political class.

In fact, your Texas Gun Rights was at the bill signing ceremony at the Alamo to celebrate this historic event.

Of course, Governor Abbott is no fan of Texas Gun Rights nor the political pressure we generated on the entire legislature to pass Constitutional Carry.

For years, the Republican-dominated legislature did everything in their power to kill Constitutional Carry.

But after the pressure pro-gun Texans created this year, it was made clear they could not take the heat for killing Constitutional Carry yet again.

Just look at the pressure you helped us generate in 2021:

  • Over 10,000,000 emails sent, asking pro-gun Texans to take action for Constitutional Carry.
  • Over 200,000 text messages deployed, encouraging individuals to call and email their legislators.
  • Nearly 150,000 pieces of mail delivered, encouraging folks to sign petitions and call Capitol offices.
  • Almost 120,000 Constitutional Carry petitions delivered to ALL 150 State Representatives.
  • Over 110,000 phone numbers dialed, connecting pro-gun patriots to the Capitol offices of their legislators.
  • 49 radio ads placed encouraging Governor Abbott to sign Constitutional Carry into law
  • Weeks spent at the Capitol by TXGR staff, working the halls, meeting with legislators, and testifying in key committees.


You helped us generate so much pressure that Governor Abbott decided TXGR Executive Director Chris McNutt was the ONLY person NOT welcome at the bill signing ceremony at the Alamo.

In fact, Abbott’s staff removed him from the ceremony — claiming he was a political threat.

How pathetic!

That’s why I was happy to personally inform Governor King Abbott I was not pleased with his pettiness:

Look, Abbott signing the bill was a great thing FOR HIM — but his signature wasn’t required.

Constitutional Carry would have become law WITHOUT his signature as long as he did not veto it.

The truth is, Governor Abbott never lifted a finger for Constitutional Carry during his 8 years in office — and only broke his deafening silence when it proved politically expedient and its passage appeared inevitable.

That’s why he went over the top with theatrics by staging the ceremony at the Alamo — and inviting the institutional gun lobby to sing his praises.

The fact remains that mobilizing pro-gun Texans in support of Constitutional Carry is how we defeated Governor Abbott’s past calls for the study of “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation laws in 2018 and his “Gun Control Roadshow” with Lt. Governor Dan Patrick in 2019, promoting gun control across the state.

So while we should celebrate this historic gun rights victory, let’s not forget the real credit belongs to YOU.

Without the constant pressure of Texas Gun Rights members and supporters across the state, this victory simply would not have been possible.

The truth is, you don’t need good politicians to make good policy. You just need to FORCE bad politicians to do good things.

That’s exactly what YOU helped us accomplish in 2021!

Thank you for your continued activism and support.
