Bloomberg-Backed Gun Group Sets Its Sights On Texas Primary
Hot Air ^ | February 20, 2020 | Karen Townsend

Everytown for Gun Safety, a Mike Bloomberg-backed gun-grabbing group, is going all-in in Texas in time for the upcoming Super Tuesday primary. The group is modeling its efforts after the one they made in Virginia. Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, an affiliate activist group, is joining in and calls Texas “the big target”.

Everytown for Gun Safety takes credit for helping flip the Virginia legislature into the hands of Democrats last year. Hoping to make inroads in Texas, the group is pledging to spend three times what it did in Virginia – at least $8 million. How did that battle in Virginia work out? Gun sales increased and then the assault weapon ban vote failed.

These people just assume that we’ll obey whatever nonsense they pass.

They are in for a very rude awakening.

I saw a great political sign in Ft Worth for someone running for Congress. I don’t remember his name but the theme was:

Make America
Texas Again

Fat chance. Even W’s CCW fiasco isn’t charged unless it’s associated with another felony.

Texas is not New York City. We have feral hogs, coyotes, mountain lions,... That’s why I take along my 357 revolver every day when walking my dog out in our canyon.

Texas is an open-primary state, so voters can decide if they want
to vote in the republican or democratic primary. Whatever party
you decide, you can only vote in that same party’s runoff.

State wide Texas will be in the GOP column. Locally some areas
will be heavily for the democrat.

And it’s precisely this gross arrogance of trying to buy elections - and in states not his own!—- that doomed Bloomberg’s chances from the very start. Sorry, Bloomberg, but America is not for sale!

West Texas has several counties that have declared themselves Second Amendment Sanctuary counties.
Texas may have to build a wall to keep the scavengers out who come here to take advantage of our economy, but who want to change us into the failed states they fled.
