In truth I think the NRA should allow its state affiliates to dive into the minutia of issues and actions and not just score on headlining votes.

Straus did the bare minimum he could do without a wholesale revolt of his mainstream and conservative legislators. We need to recall exactly how Straus got elected. He is there as a direct result of all the Democrats and a handful of Republicans putting him there. It shows in his committee placements, his priorities, and his demeanor, and how he allows his lieutenants to act.

The raw truth is that with Straus and his apparatus of power not in the way wholesale changes, not just a massive increase in Gun Rights, but also real reforms would happen in Texas.
