…a gun storage public service campaign, a gun safety measure staunchly opposed by the National Rifle Association.
This is a reflection of just how batshit crazy the NRA is. On what basis could even a wild-eyed, fringe Second Amendment loon possibly oppose this?
Next thing you know, they’ll be allowing only short-horn cattle…
Worlds are colliding…
We bring information to the table.
Important information, like blacklisting politicians who are not 2nd Amendment absolutists and supporting primary challenges against the apostates.
If you store your guns in a locked cabinet, how will you ever be ready to take out the home invaders?
“Excuse me, fellas, while I run upstairs to my gun cabinet, enter the 10-digit code, open the door, load my weapon…”
Gun cabinets should be ILLEGAL! They are Un-American and violate the 2nd Amendment.
Nobody’s gun should every be out of arm’s reach. Eat and drink only with your non-dominant hand so that your gun hand is always ready to pick up and start Defending Freedom.
All Abbott has to do is sit tight… the bill will become law without his signature. 10 days (excluding Sundays) after passage to sign or veto – then 20 more days after the session ends and it becomes law.
Because once you let the public get used to the idea that reasonable gun-control measures could save their own children’s lives, it’s all downhill.
That, too. Same thing as the gun-locks that mapped to a fingerprint or handprint. Gotta kill that stuff before it becomes a reality…
also, gun safety and storage are what they purport to be about for all those recreational gun users out there who the NRA luuuuvvvs - not. just their checks.
The Legislative Director for the Texas State Rifle Association said that the group won’t ask Abbott for a veto, despite its opposition to the program.
“We don’t do that,” Tripp said. “Gov. Abbott does not need that kind of advice from us. We bring information to the table.”
In other words: “Like, duh. Don’t you think Governor Abbott already knows what we want him to do?”
Uh oh. Looks like someone’s check didn’t clear.
Yeah, you’d think they be all for selling gun safes to people. They can’t even be properly greedy
Or… if we had the money we’d make a stronger push - but the National won’t share with the states - due to some big spending initiative tied up to a boutique in Belle Aire - or something.
We don’t want our local members to catch one - so we will lay low - so if it passes it won’t be in defiance of the Texas State Rifle Association, it will be because “we don’t do that”. And hope no one who donates realizes that we are saying that we don’t actually lobby and the money goes somewhere else these days.
Nope. If you can lock guns away where you can’t get to them quick enough to stop that home invader crashing through your door, then it’s a small step to noting that guns are even safer locked up at the gun range and never being transported to/from…
No more NRA blood money to spread around?
I would like some evidence that they did. Where is the reporting that the NRA opposed this provision?
…In the first sentence of the article:
Without a source I am not sure I believe it.
The tide is turning. The NRA is dying and does not have the $$ to buy off politicians the way it use to. It will still take time but this is a big chink in their armor.
It’s also in the linked AP story.
