Share GOP Resolution Rebukes Cornyn Condemns the proposed “violation of the Second Amendment and our God given rights.”
By Michael Quinn Sullivan | June 17, 2022 In unambiguous terms, the Republican Party of Texas’ Platform Committee unanimously approved last night a resolution condemning the “compromise” package U.S. Sen. John Cornyn crafted unilaterally with his Democrat colleagues to impose new gun control laws.
Earlier this week, Cornyn announced he had taken the lead in working with Democrats to reach a “compromise” on gun restrictions.
Among other things, Cornyn’s proposal would incentivize states to impose “red flag” laws. The purpose of such laws is to deny otherwise law-abiding citizens of their right to purchase firearms by circumventing the Constitution’s due process protections. The GOP resolution describes such laws as “a pre-crime punishment of people not adjudicated guilty.”

The text of the resolution reads:
Resolution against the Gang of 20 Gun Control bill.
Whereas those under 21 are most likely to be victims of violent crime and thus most likely to need to defend themselves.
Whereas “red flag laws” violate one’s right to due process and are a pre-crime punishment of people not adjudicated guilty.
Whereas waiting periods on gun purchases harm those who need to acquire the means of self defense in emergencies such as riots.
Whereas all gun control is a violation of the Second Amendment and our God given rights.
We reject the so called “bipartisan gun agreement”, and we rebuke Senators John Cornyn (R-Texas), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.).

That’s funny, coming from a CINO.
They knew what he was when they re-elected him.
if y’all xid not get the red flag crap, do you remember the years before, whers folks would go to a pay ‘drop a dime’, and snitch on someone possibly doing drugs?
that is the red flag law about guns!!!!!
In other news, water is wet.
Good resolution! Where’s Cornyn from, anyway? New York or New Jersey?
Cornyn, McConnell, and those other backstabbing scum bags listed were poised to sit on possibly one of the biggest red tsumai victories in a lifetime in November. Now....if this treason passes... they may actually lose even more seats and put the final nail in the already demographically troubled political party since this 2A sellout breaches the final firewall for a large number of GOP leaning voters.
There is no senate legislation that will get 60 votes right now. Cornyn needs to continue to feel the heat.
Cornyn is worthless. He’s a total fake, always has been.
Wish I could say Portman could feel the heat, but he answers to no one but the DS.
.
I think Cornyn got the message as he walked out of the extortion....uh...er...negotiations w Dems.
Cornyn unfortunately might take one for Team RINO and Team Schumer.
I’ve been voting in Texas for 47 years and for life I can not understand how this Ann Richards democrat (just to the left of a yellow dog democrat) ever got elected and keeps getting elected.
They all knew what he was when they voted for him.
Because the people running against him are much worse. Cornyn is a milk toast scum bag but he’ still better than Beto. He was a sock puppet for Paul Ryan and is a replacement for Mitch. The back stabbing Surrender Party shuffles on.
Cornyn has done nothing as senator, except this disaster.
Adios Juan.
See what happened while you were busy posting Daily Mail war porn?
He doesn’t care, of he did he wouldn’t have introduced his gun grabbing law in the first place.
Putin sucks. Cornyn sucks.
