Your membership is more important now than ever!

August 8, 2022

Imagine it is the middle of the night and you wake up to your dog barking.

As you blink the sleep out of your eyes and reach for your gun, you hear your front door being split from its hinges.

The booming yells of men and terrified screams of your startled children erupt throughout your home. A gun shot rings out.

By the time you know what is going on, your dog is dead and you sit powerless watching police carry your firearms out of your home to their squad car.

This is the nightmare reality of “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation, the policy that the federal government is pushing on state governments to enact… with your tax dollars as bribery money.

Politicians in all levels of government are taking hacksaws to the Second Amendment.  I need your support if we are going to stop them.

With 2022 memberships expiring, we need pro-gun patriots from across Texas to renew their TXGR membership for $30 today

Texas Gun Rights memberships run from summer through summer of each year, and they are the life-blood of our organization, giving us the resources we need to monitor gun legislation in Austin (and D.C.) — and enable us to respond to any threats at a moments notice!

Sadly, our senior U.S. Senator (John Cornyn) recently took the lead in pushing a gun control deal with Democrats, garnering praise from Democrats like Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer.

Cornyn’s dirty deal is the biggest attack on gun rights in decades, expanding national gun registration, putting excessive restrictions on military-aged adults to purchase firearms, and more.

This is not hyperbole either, even Democrat Senator Chris Murphy (Cornyn’s co-author) praised their bill as being the most significant gun control to pass in decades!

Worse, with the recent passage of the Cornyn Gun Control Package, federal tax dollars are be using to bribe state legislators into adopting dangerous “Red Flag” in state legislatures across the country.

Here in Texas, anti-gun representatives are already pressuring Governor Abbott to call a special session to pass “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation and even Universal Gun Registration.

We cannot allow that to happen.

To fight these threats, Texas Gun Rights is bolstering our actions on all fronts.

Our mail, phone, online, and on-the-ground program must be expanded earlier than usual to defend against the waves of attacks by the Gun Control Lobby.

More laws restricting your gun rights could be passed at any moment — and repealing Constitutional Carry is the prize they’re really after.

Thankfully, a Supreme Court ruling upholding the right to carry was decided recently striking down New York’s “may-issue” law and strengthening the right to carry nationwide.

But as you can imagine, Democrats are furious and dead set on asserting their dominance over gun owning Americans… starting with Texans.

There’s no denying it. Gun owners are in a tough spot right now.

But with members like you, Texas Gun Rights has beat back threats like this before.

In 2019, Governor Abbott and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick were launching a gun control roadshow until patriot Texans, mobilized by Texas Gun Rights, created a tidal wave of petitions and phone calls, bringing the gun control roadshow to a halt.

This “Gun Control Roadshow” was pushing “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation in special hearings. Be ready to see this type of talk again now that federal funds are incentivizing politicians to pass these laws at the state level.

That is why it is so important that I have your support.

Texas Gun Rights will be fighting for a BAN on “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation laws in the Lone Star State.

Additionally, TXGR is pushing to add teeth to Texas’s so-called “Second Amendment Sanctuary” law to empower Texas sheriffs to lock up Joe Biden’s goons if they try to enforce unconstitutional gun control in Texas.

To secure this legislation, the pro-gun grassroots must show up in huge numbers. And I need your help to mobilize these forces.

Remember, Constitutional Carry was laughed at when the fight began in Texas a decade ago.

The establishment said that it was impossible until patriots like you pushed the issue and refused to give up.

The fight for Constitutional Carry was uphill and our enemies were extremely well-funded by the Democrat extremists and RINO elites.

The current fight to forever banish tyrannical gun control like “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation from the Lone Star State is just like that.

And that is why I know that we can win — but only with your support.

Your membership is vitally important to the fight for gun rights in Texas.

For the past ten years, Texas Gun Rights has mobilized gun owners in Texas to defeat many gun control pushes and expand protections of the Second Amendment by making Texas the twenty-first Constitutional Carry state.

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

If that isn’t possible, please renew your Texas Gun Rights membership for at least $30.

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

The fight before us right now could be our most difficult endeavor yet.

But if I can count on your membership and continued support of TXGR, I know that the Gun Control Lobby can be beaten back and defeated.

TXGR Red Flag Gun Confiscation

Texas officials offered bribes with your tax dollars!

July 25, 2022

Fellow Patriot,

“Red Flag” Gun Confiscation orders have never been a bigger threat than they are right now.

As you read this, your government officials are being offered legal bribes to infringe on your right to bear arms and your right to be considered innocent until proven guilty.

In 2019, the threat of “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation reared its ugly head when Governor Abbott and Dan Patrick pushed for special hearings on “Red Flag” in their “Gun Control Roadshow”.

After the immense pressure campaign including thousands of petitions, phone calls, and emails by Texas Gun Rights members like you, their “Gun Control Roadshow” was forced to a halt in early 2020.

But now two years later, the “Red Flag” threat is back… this time with bribes from the federal government.

Included in the sweeping gun control law passed by Texas traitor Senator John Cornyn was millions of taxpayer dollars to “incentivize” states without “Red Flag” laws to pass them and for police departments to look for new ways to remove more guns from private citizens.

We must do more than simply fight a defensive battle, forever trying to keep corrupt Texas officials from taking the bribe. We must go on the offensive and outright BAN “Red Flag” orders from Texas.

Here’s the sneaky problem you run into by only fighting a defensive battle against “Red Flag.” Even without the legislature passing a “Red Flag” law, liberal police departments in cities like Austin and Dallas — or even more rural areas — can implement gun confiscation without adequate due process and get their hands on the federal money pile.

This tactic is just “Red Flag” under another name.

Texas must not let the feds infiltrate police departments with this bribery money to harass and harm gun owners. But if we don’t take a stand NOW that is exactly what will happen.

So please, sign your petition now to your lawmakers telling them to BAN “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation in Texas!

“Red Flag” laws are anti-Constitution and they are deadly.

Without ever being convicted or even accused of a crime, you can be forced to hand over all of your firearms to police who show up at your house. All that it takes is for someone to call in a complaint or concern that you might become dangerous.

With “Red Flag” orders, the same people who requested the FBI investigate parents as domestic terrorists for complaining about pornography in schools have the power to target you. All it takes is a phone call.

After your guns are taken, you must prove your innocence to a judge who will determine whether or not you deserve your Second Amendment rights.

Of course, that is assuming you make it that far.

Just look at Maryland, a “Red Flag” state, where in 2018 a man, who had not committed any crime, was shot and killed at his home by police sent on a “Red Flag” order.

And as many sheriffs across the country have pointed out, sending law enforcement to confiscate guns from law-abiding citizens on “Red Flag” orders needlessly puts police in danger as well.

Imagine, you are woken up by the sound of your front door being ripped from its hinges. Your dog is barking and your children are screaming from their bedroom. If you are like me, the first thing you do is grab your gun.

But instead of robbers or rioters, it is the police here to confiscate your guns because, after a heated Facebook argument, your liberal cousin called in a “Red Flag” report on you.

In this confusing and frantic situation, everyone will be lucky to make it out alive and uninjured.

The cost to life and liberty is too great to allow “Red Flag” orders to ever be implemented in Texas.

For the sake of your right to defend your family, please sign your petition to your lawmakers right away. Tell them “Ban ‘Red Flag’ in Texas!”

Besides the great threat “Red Flag” orders present to law-abiding gun owners, it is also clear that they do not prevent violent crime.

On July 4th of this year, in a suburban neighborhood of Chicago, a lunatic with a long history of mentally unstable and violent behavior fired on a parade, murdering six people and injuring dozens more. Illinois is, of course, a “Red Flag” state with nearly every gun control law the Left can think up, but they did nothing to stop this tragedy.

That is just a slice of the massive amount of murder that occurs in cities dominated by gun control, so much so that safety is more of the exception than the rule for the people living there.

“Red Flag” laws only benefit tyrants in the form of government officials and busybody neighbors alike.

I need your help to stop this threat to your gun freedom.

Your efforts pushed Constitutional Carry into law last legislative session, and I know that together we can secure another victory for gun rights in Texas.

So please, after signing your petition, dig deep and give what you are able to fund Texas Gun Rights’ program to BAN “Red Flag” in our state.

Even if you are stretched thin right now, as many are in Biden’s horrible economy, please know that anything you can give helps to inform and mobilize more Texans in the fight against “Red Flag.”

We must pay for a powerful mail, phone, social media, and on the ground program if we are going to force politicians to listen to gun owners like you.

I cannot do this without you, but with your help, I am confident that “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation can be snuffed out in Texas no matter how much bribe money the feds dangle in front of legislators’ noses.

We don’t have the cash to compete with the Gun Control Lobby, but if I have you fighting alongside me, we will have the grassroots pressure to defeat the freedom-hating commies lurking at the door.

For the future of gun owners in Texas, we must fight with everything we have. I am honored to fight alongside you.

For Texas and Liberty,

Moms Demand Blood Money

July 20, 2022

Just days ago, a psychopath with a firearm walked into Greenwood Park Mall in Indiana intending to inflict harm on as many people as possible.

But as soon as his rampage began, a law-abiding 22-year-old — carrying without a license thanks to Indiana’s new Constitutional Carry law — drew his weapon and killed the assailant.

The police and community are lauding him as a hero, but gun grabbers?

They are demonizing him as a criminal.

His crime? Standing in the way of their political agenda.

When an armed hero saves lives, he deserves the praise given to him by the police and the community.

It’s those actions that protect everyday people from the lawless actions of violent men.

Yet the gun grabbers who claim that law-abiding citizens never stop criminals would rather denigrate this hero than celebrate the lives that have been saved.

In their anti-gun worldview, the ends justify the means, and more bloodshed means more photo shoots, more fundraising, and more political clout.

Just last week, Nancy Pelosi told the nation, “As we go down this path, it is our responsibility to keep gun violence front-and-center in the media.”

It is our responsibility to ensure law-abiding gun owners are able to defend themselves against the evils of the world.

Nobody should be left defenseless against an armed thug, and your Texas Gun Rights is committed to ensuring that never happens in the Lone Star State.

We all know this is not the first or last time an armed person will be called on to protect the lives of others.

And it is all too clear that dangerous criminals threaten Texans as well.

That is why you and I must stand and fight against the gun control narrative invading Texas. If we don’t, our own Constitutional Carry law will be the first thing on the chopping block.

Put your foot down and tell gun grabbers in Austin that enough is enough by signing your “No Gun Control” petition right NOW.

And after you are done signing, consider chipping in a few dollars to keep the fight up in Texas.

“Assault Weapons” H.R. 1808 Ban targets rifles, shotguns and handguns

July 15, 2021

Press Release copied from US House of Represenatives.

WASHINGTON, DC— House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler today announced the markup of the Assault Weapons Ban of 2021 (H.R. 1808) on July 20, 2022. In the last two months alone, four gunmen have killed a combined 42 people with assault weapons—including 19 children in Uvalde, Texas. This legislation, sponsored by Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) and cosponsored by 211 Members of the House, would ban the sale, import, manufacture or transfer of certain semi-automatic weapons.

“Over the past several decades, our country has witnessed senseless killing after senseless kill and each time one fact has remained remarkably consistent—the weapon of choice for mass slaughter is a high-powered assault weapon,” said Chairman Nadler. “It is beyond frightening and disturbing that a weapon that was designed as a tool of war has found its way into the hands of 18 year olds and onto our streets. Any weapon that allows for the quick and efficient slaughter of children in our schools has no place in our communities. This markup is another step in our efforts to make our communities safer. I look forward to moving this legislation through the Judiciary Committee next week and onto the House floor.”

“AR-15 style firearms have become the weapon of choice for shooters looking to kill as many people as possible as quickly as possible and have been used in the deadliest mass shootings in our history, from Sandy Hook to Parkland to Uvalde. Researchers estimate that if we still had a federal Assault Weapons Ban, we would see 70 percent fewer mass shooting deaths. How many more kids need to die in their schools before we finally crack down on these dangerous firearms which were designed for war?” said Congressman Cicilline. “Protecting the lives and safety of Americans is not at odds with our Second Amendment rights. We cannot rest until we ensure that our kids and families are safe in schools, houses of worship, and everywhere in our communities. I thank Chairman Nadler for moving this legislation through the Committee and hope all our colleagues will join us in voting to help save lives.”

The Assault Weapons Ban of 2021:

Would make it unlawful for a person to import, sell, manufacture, or transfer the following:

  • All semi-automatic rifles that can accept a detachable magazine and have at least one of the following military features: (1) pistol grip; (2) forward grip; (3) folding, telescoping, or detachable stock; (4) grenade launcher; (5) barrel shroud; or (6) threaded barrel.
    All semi-automatic rifles that have a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.
  • Bump fire stocks and any part, combination of parts, component, device, attachment, or accessory that is designed or functions to accelerate the rate of fire of a semiautomatic rifle but not convert the semiautomatic rifle into a machinegun.
    All semiautomatic pistols that can accept a detachable magazine and have at least one of the following military features: (1) threaded barrel; (2) second pistol grip; (3) barrel shroud; (4) capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location outside of the pistol grip; or (5) semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm.
  • All semi-automatic shotguns that have at least one of the following (1) a folding, telescoping, or detachable stock; (2) pistol grip; (3) fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 5 rounds; (4) ability to accept a detachable magazine; (5) forward grip; (6) grenade launcher; or (7) shotgun with a revolving cylinder.
  • High capacity feeding devices (magazines, strips, and drums) capable of accepting more than 10 rounds.

Would allow for the sale, transfer, or possession of assault weapons and large capacity ammunition feeding devices lawfully possessed on the date of enactment of the Assault Weapons Ban of 2021,

Specifies that its restrictions do not apply to antique firearms, manually-operated firearms, and more than 2,000 specified models of hunting and sporting firearms.

For context, this is the author of the bill:

This is the first time there has been on movement on an “Assault Weapons” Ban in Washington in decades.

Cornyn calls gun owners a “mob”

June 21, 2022

Do you remember the summer of 2020?

Riots, torched buildings, and looting hit every major city in America and even spilled outside of them.

All of this was perpetrated by mobs of leftist activists and opportunistic criminals.

But according to Texas Senator John Cornyn, the real mob is made up of gun owners like you.


Contact Cornyn right now and tell him “No Gun Control Deals!”

Unfortunately for John Cornyn, Texas Gun Rights was present at the GOP Convention distributing flyers to inform attendees of their Senator’s actions before he took the stage.

The crowd of Republican delegates and attendees exploded with boos as John Cornyn took the stage. I heard (and joined in) chants of “No Red Flags” and “Traitor” all around the room.

Cornyn tried his best to console the Republicans gathered there by promising that there would be “no additional restrictions on legal gun owners.”

That is a blatant lie. Just look at some of the gross infringements included in Cornyn’s compromise deal with Democrats:

*** Federal Red Flag gun confiscation grant program.

Red Flag has been a losing issue in Texas thanks to the grassroots pressure generated by Patriots like you. This proposal would take your tax dollars and use them to effectively bribe politicians into passing Red Flag. This is the same strategy the feds have used to pressure states into changing the legal drinking age among other things. It works.

“Red Flag” laws call for firearms to be forcibly confiscated from law-abiding Americans without due process, based on accusations – without any proof – from disgruntled family members, neighbors, government officials, and/or current or ex-romantic partners, or roommates.

Judges are able to issue orders authorizing law enforcement, including SWAT teams, to immediately seize firearms from the subject of the order without notification or right to an attorney.

*** Closing the so-called boyfriend loophole AKA the bad breakup gun ban.

Stripping gun rights from men and women for simply having a toxic relationship or bad breakup.

*** Ban Private Sales by Redefining FFLs

By changing the definition of what constitutes the need for an FFL in order to sell firearms, this proposal would essentially ban private firearms sales.

*** Federal waiting periods and increased investigation of 18-20 year olds.

You can vote, you can go to war, and you definitely can pay taxes but exercising your Second Amendment rights? Forget about it.

This proposal would add additional burdensome background checks to 18-20 year olds purchasing firearms.

Senator Cornyn must feel the heat for his anti-gun actions if gun owners are to stand a chance at defeating this nation altering legislation.

Don’t let the radical left and traitorous RINOs steal your right and the rights of future Texans.

Take a stand with Texas Gun Rights by telling Cornyn “No Gun Control Deals! and supporting our efforts with a monetary gift.

I am pulling out all the stops to mobilize Texans to hold anti-gun politicians like Cornyn accountable – just like we did at the GOP convention last week.

With your support, I want to amplify the voices of Texas gun owners so loud they bust the eardrums of the suits in D.C.

Will you fund the fight against gun control deals today?

Cornyn working with anti-gun Democrats

June 17, 2022

Ten Republican Senators are pushing nationwide gun control legislation as a “compromise” with Democrats.

This is a national gun rights emergency, so please before you read the rest of this email contact your elected officials and tell them “No Gun Control Deals!”

Chief among these traitors is Texas Senator John Cornyn.

I can’t say that I am surprised.

For years, Cornyn has taken it upon himself to be the deal-maker on gun control with Democrats, always looking to go to the table with his most rabidly anti-gun colleagues to find something they can agree on and shove down our throats.

Of course, he’s angling to be the next Republican Senate leader after swamp creature Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell finally retires.

Cornyn is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with Washington, D.C.

Senator Cornyn can hide behind bloated ratings from the establishment gun lobby all he wants, but his wheeling and dealing with radical Democrats like Senator Chris Murphy has no excuse.

The left will not stop till America’s gun laws look like Canada or Cuba.

For the sake of our nation, gun owners must not accept compromise by dangerous elitists like John Cornyn.

With major GOP donors supporting his efforts in an open letter to lawmakers, Cornyn’s plot is an extreme danger to your gun freedom.

Just take a look at some gun control Cornyn is working to pass with Democrats:

*** Federal Red Flag gun confiscation grant program.

Red Flag has been a losing issue in Texas thanks to the grassroots pressure generated by Patriots like you. This proposal would take your tax dollars and use them to effectively bribe politicians into passing Red Flag. This is the same strategy the feds have used to pressure states into changing the legal drinking age among other things. It works.

You can vote, you can go to war, and you definitely can pay taxes but exercising your Second Amendment rights? Forget about it.

This proposal would add additional burdensome background checks to 18-20 year olds purchasing firearms.

With RINOs like John Cornyn negotiating our rights away, who needs Democrats?

So please click here to send an email to Senator Cornyn and Senator Cruz urging them to reject ALL gun control deals in D.C.

Texas Gun Rights doesn’t have the big money of Mike Bloomberg and George Soros funded gun control groups.

But I have seen gun control defeated before by Patriots like you when the odds seemed against us.

In 2019, Texas Gun Rights supporters shut down the “Gun Control Roadshow” where Governor Abbott and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick promoted hearings on “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation in the wake of tragic shootings.

Then, you went on to push Constitutional Carry into law in 2021.

We can repeat this success – but only with your help.

Please give what you are able today to fund our mail, email, phone, and on the ground efforts fighting for your gun rights in Texas.

With you supporting us, I know we can defeat the Democrat-RINO assault on the Second Amendment.

Big money behind gun control in Texas

June 7, 2022

It’s getting worse.

Establishment Republicans and Democrats are seizing the opportunity to pass sweeping new gun control in the wake of the tragedy in Uvalde.

I’m sure you’ve seen the usual faces capitalizing on Texans’ pain to push their dangerous agenda. Beto, Hollywood cowboy Matthew McConnaughey and the like.

But RINOs are also crawling out of the woodwork to throw your rights in the trash compactor in the name of “bipartisanship.”

Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn is pushing gun control legislation at the federal level.

This isn’t surprising since Cornyn has long made it a point of pushing Universal Gun Registration all in the name of “just doing something” and “common sense.”

And as your TXGR Legislative Director sent out in an alert last week, Republican state legislators Rep. Jeff Leach and Sen. Kel Seliger are both joining with Democrats to demand a special session to pass gun control legislation.

At the time I write you this email no special session has been called, but I need your immediate action to fend off this growing threat.

So please, sign your “No Gun Control!” petition to your lawmakers right away!

Governor Greg Abbot personally appointed an “investigation committee” consisting of Democrat Rep. Joe Moody, Republican Rep. Dustin Burrows, and former Texas Supreme Court Justice Eva Guzman to recommend actions to the legislature after Uvalde.

Rep. Burrows voted against TXGR backed amendments to expand Constitutional Carry to all legal adults, college campuses, and lands managed by the Lower Colorado River Authority in 2021.

Rep. Moody is notoriously hostile to your right to bear arms.

Last session alone, Moody authored bills to ban the carry of long guns in public, confiscate guns without due process with “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation, and institute Universal Gun Registration.

He even accused those who reject gun control of racism and blamed the 2019 mass shooting in El Paso on concerns over illegal immigration.

Moody is not even a “moderate” by Democrat standards. He is openly and unashamedly looking to disarm Texas citizens.

So why would he be appointed to this position by a Republican governor? Why are establishment Republicans at every level showing signs of caving to the whims of gun control advocates?

As with most things in politics, you have to follow the money to get the answer.

Just days ago, over 200 of the largest GOP donors in Texas penned a letter urging support for Sen. Cornyn’s “compromises” on the Second Amendment.

You and I both know what that really means.

When the establishment urges “compromise” what they really mean is “sit there quietly while we sell off your freedom for political points.”

The fallout from this push for gun control is not contained to Washington. Texas politicians are already falling in line.

You can bet that not a single politician will lose any armed security in their “compromising.”

Only law-abiding gun owners will be punished and endangered.

That is, if we let them get away with this.

You will no doubt be getting updates from me frequently as this fight progresses — the situation is changing daily.

But know this: your Texas Gun Rights will never settle for compromise.

I must have your help to take on this threat, so please sign your “No Gun Control” petition immediately.

Don’t forget, in 2019 Texas Gun Rights supporters like you put a stop to Abbott and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick’s “Gun Control Roadshow” pushing hearings on “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation and came back in 2021 to make Texas the twenty-first Constitutional Carry state.

Victory didn’t come easy then, either.

Gun owners must fight like never before for the future of gun rights in Texas.

That means going all out with pressure campaigns. We must pay for massive mail, phone, and online program in addition to readying activists to work on the ground in the capitol at a moment’s notice.

I want to be completely transparent with you about the state of play.

Texas Gun Rights does not have the billions at their disposal like the Bloomberg backed Gun Control Lobby, and I am not backed up by the big money donors that establishment Republicans are addicted to.

My simple hope is that I have you.

So please, after signing your petition, take a moment and ask yourself what you can give to support this important work.

I cannot fund the fight without your help.

Will you support Texas Gun Rights today?

Please stay alert for more updates on the fight against gun control in the coming days and know that with your support, I am confident we can defeat every would-be tyrant that seeks to disarm Texans.

Breaking: Abbott requests special committee to address ‘firearms safety’

June 2, 2022

Fellow Patriot,

It’s been intense the last couple of weeks.

Democrats and RINO Republicans have unashamedly capitalized off of a tragedy to try to pursue their dangerous agenda to destroy the Second Amendment.

And of course, one of the most self-aggrandizing politicians out there is Robert Francis O’Rourke.

Like a typical, ambitious Left-winger looking to climb the political ladder, he made himself the center of attention after the murders in Uvalde by interrupting the official press conference in the town to loudly parrot Democrat talking points.

Like many politicians, Mr. O’Rourke is an actor first and foremost.

He doesn’t bother with silly things like respect and principles because to Robert Francis the whole world is his stage and the people in it are just side characters in his big show. He even has a stage name.

“Beto” had his minute in the spotlight when he infamously screamed “Hell yes we’ll take your AR-15, your AK-47!” on the stage of the Democrat Presidential Primary debates….and had T-shirts bearing the threat ready to sell that same night.

But when he decided he’d like to be Governor, Beto changed his tune and said that he didn’t support a ban on these popularly owned rifles in an attempt to appear moderate.

Now that he sees an opportunity to raise campaign dollars from hyped up Democrats in California and New York, he has returned to screeching for confiscating America’s most popular rifle, along with a slew of other gun control laws.

Stand up to “Beto” by signing your “No New Gun Control” petition right away!

Worse, Governor Greg Abbott is succumbing to pressure by calling for the creation of special legislative committees to address “firearms safety.”

This is reminiscent of Abbott’s request for the study of “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation in 2018, or his 2019 creation of the “Gun Control Roadshow.”

By creating these committees, the gun control debate stays alive and well and gives anti-gunners free reign to continue raising money to push their radical agenda.

Sadly, there are even Republican members of the Texas legislature, Rep. Jeff Leach and Sen. Kel Seliger, calling for a special session on gun control so they can “just do something”.

That something is of course, handing your gun rights over to the Left in the name of compromise.

Texas Gun Rights supporters stopped Abbott’s “Gun Control Roadshow” in 2019 and that fight led to passing Constitutional Carry in 2021.

I point this out because I need you to see that there is a way forward.

If gun owners like you support Texas Gun Rights’ efforts, we will not only be able to defeat the push for gun control, but we can once again go on the offensive.

So please, sign your “No New Gun Control” petition right away!

On Monday, Chris sent our members an email asking if they would let Beto take your guns. One of our members sent back a response I just had to share:

This is exactly why Texas Gun Rights keeps fighting. And when the tyrants get dirty, we only fight back harder. No Compromise.

We are only able to do this because of YOU and thousands of Texans like you.

Texas Gun Rights is standing between the populace and those who would forcibly disarm them. And we are taking serious fire from the establishment.

But if I have you behind our efforts, there is no telling what we can accomplish.

I need your support more than ever to stop the machinations of gun grabbers in the top tiers of both parties.

That is why I hope that in addition to signing your petition, you will dig deep and give the most you are able to support Texas Gun Rights.

With the possibility of a special session being called, we cannot be caught unready.

I’m not sure what you can afford. Some can easily give $300, for others $20 is a stretch.

Whatever you decide, please know that I am grateful for your contribution to this fight.

So please give what you can to the fight.

Things are going to get more heated in the coming days and weeks.

With you fighting alongside me, I know we will be ready for battle.

For Texas and Liberty,
