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 |
| The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right. [Nunn vs. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846)] |
