What % of Texans own an AR15
I have to imagine it's way way way way less then 1%
How many Texans get pissed off when their freedom is taken away. Got to imagine they feel the same as Kansas voters.
Do the math :-)
Uvalde and the police doing nothing as kids died changed the math on AR15 support

Yes a small percentage of Texans own assault rifles, but it doesn’t matter. The narrative among Republicans is that liberals may talk about practical reforms to gun laws, but their real goal is to take your guns away. The way Beto said it played right into the narrative. Doesn’t matter that he said AR15, all they heard was I’m coming for YOUR guns. He talked about taking personal property, and he said it with such anger. Uvalde doesn’t change that. He could win a local seat in the right district, but he’s done as far as any statewide office.
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

This past week I had an opportunity to hold an AR-15. I was just moving it from the Sherriff's vehicle to the house but I had never been up close to one before.

That is what has happened in just a few years under Trudeau. He started with automatic weapons and now you can no longer purchase a handgun.

But wait, why have a new election since Trump says he won the last election despite the Biden laptop story being suppressed?

Fascinating
Trump is insisting 2022 be about him. He will now demand his fringe candidates declare him President right now.
