Speaker Bonnen threatening investigation of gun rights group

[RoadRunner]

I knew there were swamps in TX.
I didnt know one was in Austin though.

This bonnen guy reads to be a first class asshat.

He can't be all that bad, he has an 'A' rating from the TSRA and NRA.

 

[jrbfishn]

Anymore, that is not an accurate thing.
I sometimes can't help but wonder how much it costs in donations to get that rating from them.

What good will that do at this stage in the game? Time for that is immediately after session closes and election season starts

Don’t call Bonnen. Call the reps that voted him in as speaker, unless you are in his district, he does not give two shits about your outrage.

District resident or just physically visiting and block walking?

Just saying that if you live in San Antonio and call Bonnen’s office to politely ask why he is pissing in the face of Texas gun owners, he will not give a damn.

Call your state representative and ask them why they elected this douchebag to SotH.

Just called the TSRA office, they were clueless on the issue, gave me Alice Tripps cell number, of course she didn’t answer, and I don’t really expect a return call, but that will tell all. If any of you would like her number, here it is: 972-979-8616, burn it up.

GOP Chairman James Dickey is the one to contact.
Theses are the issues GOP was to address.
None are done, most bills are trash or status quo. More of the same crap from last session's leader.
Strauss actually, in session, told a Rep to sit down and shut up, Bonnen appears to be of the same mentality.

• Pro-life,
• Property tax relief,
• Religious freedom,
• Election integrity,
• Ending frivolous lawsuits,
• The right to self defense,
• Welfare reform,
• Property annexation,
• Bond elections, and
• Special taxing districts

Laying on of hands in the past was considered assault. Injury not needed.... Hmmm

 

[dennisz]

Dickey and his folks don’t seem to care either, Emails and phone call to them have been unanswered.

 

[jordanmills]

So, why are we not blowing up the phone lines to TSRA bitching at them for their lack of support for our gun rights and backing Bonner??

Because they'll tell you that it's all lies, they do more to advance the cause than anyone else ever, and that you need to stop calling them and let them do... whatever they do.

Here's an interview with Bonnen. He literally calls Constitutional Carry "Criminal Carry" at 14:20 into the video. Says the only thing this bill would change is allow criminals to carry. A complete lie.

 

[TheDan]

You ever see someone and just know they are a sodomite?

Had the TSRA/Alice Tripp taken up the CC banner a decade ago, instead of refusing to, there'd be that much less reason for outfits like TGR to even exist.

I wish I'd save emails between Tripp and myself regarding CC from years ago, but they went along the lines of me asking her when the TSRA would lobby for CC. Her replies were along the lines of there being no interest.

I always thought a lobbyist's primary job was to CREATE interest, but WTF do I know?

He's an idiot. Criminals don't care about the law. Criminals already have Constitutional Carry. Only the law abiding bother with the permit process.

Oh, it's not just "in the past". Unfortunately, as justified as McNutt would be in filing assault charges, there's no way Bonnen would face consequences. Democrats (and Dem wannabes) are always exempted from the law.

So I included the above link and asked Tripp the Q

Hey Alice, why would Speaker Bonnen refer to Constitutional Carry as criminal carry?

Her response:
You tell me. What would you think the over all perception of the marketing tactics used would be?

Wow.

Maybe you should tell her that the marketing tactics would be viewed differently by different people according to whether they believe her and bonnen's spin or not.

Smh. My little experience with those general public facing folks with second amendment freedom groups has been less than good. They’re out there to cat wrangle and be cheer leaders. They’re pitching a line.

Wow.

Does she think only you and a couple of other people would ever see that?

That needs to be shared.

Follow up: What is TSRA’s position on how to market Constitutional Carry so that it passes?

Why Isn’t TSRA doing that?
