Texas Sheriff Claims Gun Ownership a 'Privilege'

[DougC]

From Bearing Arms blog;

Fort Bend County, Texas Sheriff Eric Fagan is up for re-election next year, and he just gave any challengers that might emerge a big issue for their own campaign to replace him.

Speaking with a reporter from Houston’s KRPC-TV, Fagan recently declared his support for more restrictions on gun ownership, which he claims is a privilege that should be earned, rather than a right that should be protected.

Fagan’s was elected to the position of sheriff back in 2020 with about 52 percent of the vote, but that was before he publicly declared his belief that the good folks of Fort Bend County don’t actually have a right to keep and bear arms at all. I’m sure his anti-Second Amendment viewpoint won’t be the only issue in the sheriff’s race next year, but it will be an issue, and rightfully so.

I hope those voting know that he's a commie.

FAFO (but in a different way). I just hope enough people see this and pay attention. Stupid comments + elections have consequences.

Traitor and should be dealt with accordingly.

Oh look! Another hypocrite liberal.
He gets to keep HIS guns. Because reasons.

You on the other hand can go suck eggs. Peons.

Wouldn't saying so be against the oath he took and could there be legal ramification to him retaining office once he abandoned said oath?

THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION

ARTICLE 16. GENERAL PROVISIONS

Sec. 1. OFFICIAL OATH OF OFFICE. (a) All elected and appointed officers, before they enter upon the duties of their offices, shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:

"I, _______________________, do solemnly swear (or affirm), that I will faithfully execute the duties of the office of ___________________ of the State of Texas, and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States and of this State, so help me God."

Sad to hear. He replaced Troy Nehls who was super pro gun, but at least he made it to the House. His brother Trevor was running against Fagan and got my vote, but apparently not enough.

Doesn't even know the law

Must be one of those LE that thinks disarming citizens will make his job easier and safer. An idiot and a coward at heart.
As a rule, we are not the ones shooting at LE. Criminals are. And it's been proven, they are absolutey NOT going to give up their guns.
Or stop shooting at cops.

One more tick box why I'm glad we picked Montgomery County to live in. Our county judge may have had a mild scandal, but he's not a commie, and our sheriff is a pretty solid man who respects the citizens' rights to own and carry.
