Senator Cornyn, I have voted for you every time you have faced election since coming to Texas 21 years ago. However, now you are negotiating away my rights and those of my family and fellow citizens. The very idea (let alone the practical application) of a "Red Flag" law is in violation of the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th Amendments - and giving tax dollars to the states to do that dirty deed would be just as gross of a violation of those rights by operation of the 14th Amendment. Senator Cornyn, you KNOW this - you were on the Texas Supreme Court and the Texas Attorney General for crying out loud!!! Don't claim otherwise, because that would be ridiculous. Yet, there you are, negotiating away that which you swore to "preserve, protect and defend." SHAME!!!!!!
I am sick and tired of a "compromise" consisting of giving the anti-gun Democrats just a little bit less than the outrageous demands that they come up with regarding firearms in every single session. How about making THEM give up something - starting with repealing the "sporting use" clause of the 1968 Gun Control Act? How about repealing Sections 922 (o) and 922(r)? How about removing suppressors and short-barreled long guns from the NFA list? REAL compromise means that BOTH sides give up something, not one side constantly losing for decades while the other side settles for a slower accomplishment of all of its goals. It is time for you (and your colleagues, whom you lead and direct) to grow a backbone, Senator.
Senator Cornyn, you had BETTER scuttle all negotiations with the Democrats regarding firearms, including and especially on the "Red Flag" provisions. All that they seek is to disarm law-abiding Americans who have done exactly nothing wrong. We all mourn when tragic incidents occur, but the content of their proposed legislation - all of it - can NEVER solve the problem while simultaneously preserving the rights of the citizenry - rights about which you are VERY well aware and which you swore an oath to protect - ALWAYS, not just when it is politically expedient. If you cannot do this simple thing, to uphold our rights and your oath of office, then I will not only never vote for you again, I will actively work to unseat you in your next primary. DO YOUR JOB!!! No more compromise of the rights of non-criminals, of the people whom you claim to represent. Enough is enough! What's next Senator, Red Flag laws for automobiles with more than 300 horsepower because a drunk driver killed someone?
Thanks for turning your (our) frustration into a pointed challenge.
I vote third party when ever I see the name John Cornyn.
Thumbs Up to that.
Given the way things are going in this country, knowing that Cornyn is drafting an amnesty bill with Tillis while the state he “represents” is destroyed by the very same people that he wants to give amnesty to, and if the votes allow, he’ll vote against any gun control measures pushed by CornPop, but really really wants to vote for them because he hates all of us.
>>PLEASE communicate with YOUR Senators.<<
Did and will, but won’t make a damn bit of difference.
Told Cornyn right after his re-election to the senate I’d never cast another vote for him again after abandoning Trump.
Freakin RINOs
>>The man needs to be primaried<<
Yea, well, there’s a problem with that. He was just re-elected for another six years.
Leading up to the election, Cornyn was awl conservative...after the election, he showed his true colors along with Mitch McConnell.
Done with that guy. Not to mention Dan Crenshaw in the house. Good grief these people.
Did you not know who he was? Why would you ever support a amnesty republican. Never, ever simply vote for a Republican, just because they are a republican. Nuts.
I didn’t even vote for him last time.
Very good letter!
I’d like to see US Rep Chip Roy replace Cornyn as
Senator.
