“Radical gun groups were hoping to use a Cornyn defeat as a warning to deter other Republicans from working across the aisle to combat gun violence – but they’ve become so extreme and ineffective that even Texas MAGA Republicans tuned them out,” said GIFFORDS Executive Director Emma Brown. “Last week, the gun lobby quietly stood by as their top ally, Thomas Massie, lost his primary. This week, Cornyn’s role in passing BCSA was an afterthought among Texas voters as they cast their votes for the Republican nominee. And combined, these elections show us how the gun lobby has lost its grip on the electorate.”
“Ken Paxton is as extreme as the gun lobby. He wants to repeal laws to make it easier for criminals and cartels to get guns, putting Texas families at risk,” said GIFFORDS Texas Director Roger Garza. “Texas voters are fed up. They’re tired of out-of-touch politicians willing to put their constituents’ lives at risk just to boost profits for their gun industry CEO donors.”
The same old delusional and lying Giffords.
