    Yep. And Texas Republicans showed why they are the stupidest Republicans of all.....

    ....name two things Cornyn has done over the last two years that MJ Hegar wouldn't have done.

    Well, she'd have gone all-in on gun control with her fellow Democrats instead of supporting a watered-down infringement "foot in the door" and trying to convince us she saved us from worse, for one thing. Don't get me wrong, Cornyn is selling us out, but you really can't compare what he's doing with what an Everytown-endorsed politician would do. It's like comparing the quack doctor who botched your surgery to Josef Mengele.

    Electing a Democrat is not better than re-electing Cornyn. That kind of thinking is what got us a second Obama administration.

    Cronyn sucks for the most part, it until the GOP puts up a better candidate it’s no choice. Voting DNC is retarded plain and simple. Both parties are going to screw us in the long run, that’s a given. Question is who do you want to be screwed by. Peewee from Porky’s or Mandingo from PornHub?

    Senator John Cornyn is negotiating with the democrats on gun control right now. I sent him a message through his website Cornyn's Contact Page urging him not to cave to the democrats on gun control. The democrats create a crisis with woke ideas and soft on crime policies and then move in on our guns making us vulnerable to the very criminals that they refuse to prosecute. Please take a moment to let him know that he will lose your vote if he caves.
    Cornyn’s contact site is down.

    Not that it will do any good, but I did email him. Also, in a very un-Grumps21 move, I also penned a hand written note that’s going in the mailbox tomorrow.
    Here we are 16 days later and I finally got a reply to my email. The reply I got was a little different than the replies some members here received early on. It reads:

    Dear Mr. xxxxx:

    Thank you for contacting me regarding federal firearms policy. I appreciate your comments on this important matter.

    On May 24, 2022, a gunman maliciously took the lives of 21 innocent people, including 19 children at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. My heart goes out to the families who lost loved ones. As you know, this is an incredibly difficult time for the Uvalde community, Texas, and our Nation. We are committed to coordinating with federal, state, and local officials to assist the Uvalde community as they navigate the aftermath of this tragedy.

    Students and teachers deserve to feel safe inside of their schools, and parents deserve peace of mind when they send their children to school. To that end, my Senate colleagues and I have engaged in bipartisan discussions to draft mental health and school safety legislation to identify and prevent violence in our communities. It is imperative for Congress to improve the availability and accessibility of mental health services across the country, particularly within our schools, to address the root causes of mass violence. In addition, school safety measures must be bolstered to ensure schools have effective violence prevention mechanisms in place.

    To be clear, we are not talking about restricting or limiting the rights of current law-abiding gun owners. We need targeted reforms to ensure existing laws keep guns out of the hands of criminals and those who have been adjudicated as mentally ill. The Constitution guarantees the right to keep and bear arms, and I strongly oppose any effort to infringe on that right.

    As this legislation begins to take shape, my goal is to reach an agreement that can earn broad bipartisan support. In the wake of the 2017 Sutherland Springs shooting, we learned that the existing background check system-the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS)-did not identify that the shooter was prohibited from purchasing and possessing a firearm under federal law. As a result, I reached across the aisle and worked with my Republican colleagues to pass the bipartisan Fix NICS Act (S. 2135; 115th Congress), which was signed into law as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018 (P. L. 115-141). This law improves the uploading of records from local, state, and federal agencies to better identify those who are already disqualified under current law from purchasing a firearm. States and federal agencies have uploaded more than eleven million records since the bill's passage. I'm convinced that this legislation has saved lives.

    Like you, I am outraged by mass shootings and the violence inflicted upon our communities. As your Senator, I am committed to focusing on the root causes of mass violence, improving the enforcement of current law, and addressing improvements to mental health care in America. I will continue to push for effective solutions that protect communities while preserving the protections and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution.

    I appreciate having the opportunity to represent Texas in the United States Senate. I recognize we may have differing opinions on this important matter, but I hope you will continue to share your views with me. Thank you for taking the time to contact me.

    Sincerely,

    JOHN CORNYN

    He’s already caved and I’ve emailed him letting him know it cost him my vote. Get him

    Tried to send Cornyn another letter today to complain. When I hit the Submit button, it tried for about 2 minutes then I got an error that said "Site down for maintenance". Wow, you can't even write him anymore. Hopefully the site is crashing due to the overload of letters bitching him out for selling us down the river. I'll try again later.

    Just read they settled on the language. Cornyn sold us out. Agreed to red flag laws using fed tax dollars as a bribe
