Gov. Dan Patrick uses his political website to claim he is “leading the fight for life and liberty in Texas, including … standing up for the Second Amendment.” He also proudly notes his prior NRA endorsement.
But when it comes to the right to keep and bear arms, Dan Patrick is showing himself to be all hat and no cattle. On Friday, for example, he appeared on Fox Newsto promote a federal mandate for expanded background checks. In doing so, he exposed himself as not just unprincipled on the Second Amendment, but ill-informed as well.</td></tr></table><table width="600" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="table"><tr><td style="padding:10px 0 0 0;">&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" class="table"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:0 15px 15px 0;"><a href="[link removed]" target="_blank"><img src="[link removed]" alt="San Francisco Board of Supervisors Declares NRA a “Domestic Terrorist Organization”" width="600" border="0" style="display:block;" class="respImages" /></a></td></td></tr></tbody></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:0 0 15px 0;"><a style="color:#bd1300; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight:bold; font-size:12px; text-decoration:none;" href="[link removed]">NEWS</a> &nbsp;<br /><a style="color:#000000; font-family:Georgia,'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size:22px; line-height:28px; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none;" href="[link removed]" target="_blank">San Francisco Board of Supervisors Declares NRA a “Domestic Terrorist Organization”</a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr><tr><td class="summaryText" style="color:#737f80; font-size:16px; line-height:21px; padding:10px 0 0 0;">On September 3, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution, “declaring that the National Rifle Association is a domestic terrorist organization and urging other cities, states, and the federal government to do the same.”The resolution was sponsored by District 2 Supervisor Catherine Stefani, who is described on the city’s website as a former prosecutor and “a leader and spokesperson for Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.”</td></tr></table><table width="600" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="table"><tr><td style="padding:10px 0 0 0;">&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" class="table"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:0 15px 15px 0;"><a href="[link removed]" target="_blank"><img src="[link removed]" alt="Walmart Clamps Down on Firearm and Ammunition Sales" width="600" border="0" style="display:block;" class="respImages" /></a></td></td></tr></tbody></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:0 0 15px 0;"><a style="color:#bd1300; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight:bold; font-size:12px; text-decoration:none;" href="[link removed]">NEWS</a> &nbsp;<br /><a style="color:#000000; font-family:Georgia,'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size:22px; line-height:28px; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none;" href="[link removed]" target="_blank">Walmart Clamps Down on Firearm and Ammunition Sales</a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr><tr><td class="summaryText" style="color:#737f80; font-size:16px; line-height:21px; padding:10px 0 0 0;">One of America’s largest big box retailers and a significant purveyor of firearms and ammunition is yielding to anti-gun hysteria by calling for action on gun control and adding extra-legal policies to its firearm and ammunition sales.
