Re: Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick attacks NRA and Supports expanded background checks

I hear you but man, Patrick had always struck me as one of the hard core good guys. He relished getting in the faces of the left and calling out their nonsense. I don't get this one.

Abbott seems to be waffling too.

This is real bad. I swallowed hard on the bump stock ban but you can't rationalize this one away. This is the final straw.

If you believe that, I have ocean front property to sell you in Arizona.
This. A registry is the entire point. Not a single mass shooting other than maybe Odessa and we don't even know that for sure yet would have been prevented by a UBC. How does he not get this? I've heard him speak quite eloquently on gun rights. He seemed to get it. What changed? Why the sudden sell out? Does he think he's going to draw the anti's votes with this? Those people hate him with the heat of a white hot sun. This won't change that, it will only embolden them to demand more.

How does he not see this? What is going on?

Re: Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick attacks NRA and Supports expanded background checks

This will turn Texas blue, and if Trump falls for it at the national level he and the national GOP are done, too.

Sorry, this is the breaking point for me. I've tolerated the decades of equivocation on open carry, constitutional carry, and many other things because I realized the alternative was this. Now the GOP is this and there is no longer any reason to put up with the perpetual broken promises and intentionally missed opportunities.

I'm out.
