With Obama’s very vocal push for more restrictive gun
legislation to be passed, a just as loud opposition from the other side of 2nd
Amendment-right-supporting, conservative Republicans can be heard loud and clear.
“It is saddening to see the President today, once again, try
to take advantage of this tragic murder to promote an agenda that will do
nothing to stop violent crime, but will undermine the constitutional rights of
all law-abiding Americans,” said Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in response to Obama’s
attempt to use the tragic school shooting in Newtown, Conn. this past December
to garner support.
Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas) invited all individuals and
companies who feel their 2nd Amendment rights have been infringed
upon to move to Texas.
Even Governor Rick Perry has not been shy about his stance
on keeping Texas a gun friendly state. “Guns require a finger to pull the
trigger. The sad young man who did that in Newtown was clearly haunted by
demons, and no gun law could have saved the children from his terror,” Gov. Perry
said.
Texas has historically has had a culture that supports and
encourages individuals to embrace their 2nd Amendment rights to bear
arms. Legislators and state officials of the Lone Star State will not go
quietly if 60 votes in the Senate are acquired to enact current legislation
that is on the docket to restrict citizen’s rights to purchase and carry guns.
