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. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
[The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
