Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick battled longtime supporter and conservative firebrand Michael Quinn Sullivan in a Twitter war Tuesday morning with the statewide officeholder telling the activist "You are destroying our party." Sullivan, who leads the influential conservative group, Empower Texans, and has been in an ongoing feud with Republican Texas House Speaker Dennis Bonnen, initiated the fracas with a breakfast-time tweet that lumped Patrick together with Democrat Beto O'Rourke on the gun issue. |

Patrick should know better, and Dana Loesch hit the nail on the head. None of these squishy R's have answered the question, nor are they likely to, of how universal background checks can be enacted without establishing a universal gun registry, de facto.
They deflect the question because they cannot give a satisfactory answer. That should be a "red flag" in and of itself. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
