End the “Gun Control Roadshow” in Texas!
February 21, 2020
“We must do something on gun control.”
That’s the recurring theme we’ve been hearing from weak-kneed politicians in Texas since 2019.
Especially Governor Greg Abbott and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick — who tripped over themselves to appease the anti-gun media by creating the “Gun Control Roadshow.”
Sadly, the gun control hearings continue raging on in 2020.
In fact, another hearing is scheduled in the Texas Senate on March 10th in Austin — and the topic is Universal Gun Registration!
That’s why I need you to sign your No Gun Control Mandate to your lawmakers RIGHT AWAY.
If you want to double your pressure, call Governor Abbott and Lt. Gov. Patrick, and respectfully urge them to put an end to their “Gun Control Roadshow.”
Gov. Greg Abbott: (512) 463-1782
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick: (512) 463-5342
Your message can be as simple as:
“End the ‘Gun Control Roadshow’ and start standing up for pro-gun Texans by passing pro-gun Constitutional Carry legislation!”
Chris, Universal Gun Registration, also known as “Universal Background Checks,” would ban ALL private firearm sales between law-abiding Texans.
Forcing virtually every gun buyer to register in the Brady-NICS federal registry…and requiring all gun sales be pre-approved by the government.
This very proposal was one of President Obama’s gun control gems defeated by gun owners in 2013.
But during an interview with Fox News, Lt. Governor Dan Patrick revived discussions for this Obama-era proposal:
“I don’t think we should have strangers selling to strangers. That’s a loophole we can close.”
— Lt. Gov Dan Patrick, Fox News 9/2/19
Put another way, Dan Patrick is joining the calls of gun control zealots like Mike Bloomberg to pass Obama-era Universal Gun Registration!
So it’s no coincidence Universal Gun Registration is the exact topic of discussion for the March 10th hearing in Dan Patrick’s Senate.
Sadly, Dan Patrick’s Obama-era gun control received support from other top Republican officials…
Governor Abbott proclaimed we should clamp down on private firearm sales last year — saying they are somehow akin to selling guns to terrorists.
Yes, you read that right. Chris, the stars are aligning for an anti-gun assault in the Texas Legislature…
If weak-kneed Republicans continue alienating their pro-gun base — by keeping the gun control debate alive in Texas — they will be handing Mike Bloomberg and his anti-gun cronies the majorities they are seeking in November.
And we’ve already seen firsthand in Virginia the havoc anti-gun Democrats would wreak in Texas.
With a Republican Governor and Lt. Governor already showing signs of caving, I’m afraid of what may happen if you and I don’t act.
Especially if — God forbid — we experience another senseless tragedy.
So please sign your No Gun Control Mandate to your lawmakers RIGHT AWAY.
As law–abiding Texans, you and I know the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
So instead of continuing to punish law-abiding Texans for the actions of criminals and pure evil, our lawmakers should put an end to the “Gun Control Roadshow” and start proposing ways for more Texans to be their own first line of defense.
In fact, our lawmakers should lead the charge to make Texas the 16th Constitutional Carry state — allowing more law-abiding Texans to protect themselves and their loved ones!
After all, when every second counts, the police are minutes away…
With your help, we can defeat all calls for gun control in Texas.
But if we let our guard down, legislation like Universal Gun Registration could soon become a reality, especially after receiving the blessing of our state’s top Republican lawmakers.
