“You’ve got to work at it piece by piece,” he said. “One mom and another mom. You’ve got to wear them down until they finally say, ‘Enough.'"
The sheepole will follow, even after he boldly states *I will indoctrinate you*.
Underestimate him at our own peril.
There are a lot of people moving here from Northern less gun friendly states, and most aren't moving here because they like guns. State demographics are changing, and money talks.

If I see him near the gates, I'm turning around.
There was a kick-off meeting for “Everytown for Gun Safety” today at the Austin City Hall. Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo is on Everytown's advisory board. This appears to be supported by Austin city government.
Group launches nationwide effort to fight gun violence
Jackash introduced me to an abbreviation the other day in another thread. It was FOAD. I think it may apply to Bloomberg as well.
It would seem like him doing so in his official capacity would be a conflict of interest, no?
Wouldn't he be supporting legislation that is contrary to Texas law? Which really should be his only concern in his position.
Of course...There was a kick-off meeting for “Everytown for Gun Safety” today at the Austin City Hall. Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo is on Everytown's advisory board.
Now that you mention it I think you’re right. This is a political issue. A police chief shouldn’t be supporting any political cause when acting in his official caloricity as police chief. He’s basically saying the Austin police department supports this political organization; and by extension it infers the City of Austin supports the groups agenda.
I’m not a lawyer, but at the very least this seems like a conflict of interest and\or violates some code of conduct. The fact it was held in the Austin City Hall makes me think Austin’s city fathers also support the group.
All I can say is it sounds like liberal Austin. I doubt any other police chief in Texas would get away with this conduct.
When alerted to the presence of the page, a representative at Everytown for Gun Safety said that it wouldn’t be long before it disappeared from Facebook.
“Maybe they’d like to duel for it,” said Mark Glaze, the executive director of Everytown for Gun Safety. “I hear every person on our staff of 85 is a better shot than Wayne LaPierre. Or maybe a bidding war!”
We’re going through the proper process for transitioning our Demand Action page to ‘Everytown,’ which takes a few weeks, and acquiring trademark protection for both Everytown and Everytown for Gun Safety. Once that happens, we expect Facebook to shoo these cybersquattters politely off this name/page.”
