After Election Victory In Virginia, Gun Control Groups Turn To Texas
With anti-gun legislative majorities in place for the first time in nearly 30 years in Virginia, gun control groups are feeling pretty confident and cocky at the moment. So cocky, in fact, that they’re going to try to flip Texas in 2020.

“We sent a message to the NRA in their own backyard,” said former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who launched a gun violence prevention group after she was shot at a rally in Tucson in 2011. “We are turning the page on an era where legislators cashed gun lobby checks while communities lived in fear of shootings.”
Next on Giffords’ list is Texas, where the group has had recent success helping Democrats. The group spent more than $1 million on TV ads in Houston in 2018, supporting U.S. Rep. Lizzie Fletcher, a Democrat who unseated longtime Republican Congressman John Culberson. The ads went after Culberson for taking money from the NRA and voting for weaker gun laws.
Groups like Giffords have “targets up and down the ballot in Texas in 2020,” said Peter Ambler, the group’s executive director. They include everything from the U.S. Senate race to congressional seats and state House districts — especially in the suburbs.
“Texas is going to be a big priority of ours,” Ambler said.

Groups like Giffords have “targets up and down the ballot in Texas in 2020" Yet when Sarah Palin used the word "target" the left screamed and hollered about it being a code word for assignations!

We should start a "Deadpool" which states is going to fall next. We could also set up a pool on which state will have the first armed resistance. My moneys on Texas or Arizona.

There is one point that is very sound that he's making. Tyranny will spread. You hear people from other states saying "oh, just move." A lot of us will, but that's besides the point.

If you let one state propose unconstitutional bullshit unchallenged, then they'll all get away with it when given the chance. The fact that Cuomo is allowed to shit on the constitution in this state is the direct result of the federal government, and other states in the union, allowing it to happen and not invoking article 5 to force the hand SCOTUS and other states.

What happened to "Don't mess with Texas"?

Don't be so sure about Texas. Give it a few more years and the liberals there will breed out the Republicans. Just the last presidential was close.

I always remind people here that moving to get back rights is a fool's errand. Ship down to PA so you can buy 30 round mags? Just takes another election then they're suddenly high-capacity.

Texas will vote red in 2020, I've no doubt about that. But it is being heavily diluted.

Eventually the libs will get what they're asking for. Then when they realize they're getting much more then they ever wanted it will be far to late for them. At that point, the lodging of their heads up their asses will be permanent.
