2024 Republican Party of Texas Convention Recap

June 3, 2024

Last week, Texas Gun Rights (TXGR) actively participated in the Republican Party of Texas State Convention, where we engaged with thousands of delegates and advocated for a ban on red flag laws.

At the previous convention, delegates prioritized “Defend our Gun Rights” as one of the top 8 legislative priorities. The language read, “Protect our gun rights against threats, such as red flag laws, federal, state or other restrictions, by strengthening and preserving our inalienable rights under the Second Amendment to protect our life, liberty, and property. The Texas Legislature should eliminate gun-free zones.”

Despite this clear directive, the priority has yet to be realized in Texas. Red flag laws are not banned, numerous “gun-free” zones still exist, and the Second Amendment faces relentless attacks from gun grabbers in Washington, D.C.

Though our priorities didn’t make the top 15 list this year, TXGR ensured that the issue remained at the forefront of delegates’ minds. We will continue our relentless fight in Austin to ensure that all gun control bills are shot down.

In addition to our advocacy efforts, we hosted meet-and-greets with Kyle Rittenhouse, which attracted a ton of support from delegates.

Kyle is now joining the Texas Gun Rights team as our Outreach Director. Rittenhouse, widely known for his dedication to Second Amendment rights, brings a passionate commitment to defending and promoting gun rights across Texas.

We are thrilled to have him on our team so that we can continue to work towards making Texas a better place for gun owners. Our mission is far from over, and with your continued support, we will continue to fight to protect and defend our Second Amendment rights.
