Chris Bell believes firmly in the privileges guaranteed by the Second Amendment and supports the right of every Texan to own and carry guns legally. However, he feels that it is equally important that existing laws are properly enforced.

Chris Bell believes firmly in the PRIVILEGES guaranteed by the 2A. They are not privileges, nor are the collective rights of the National Guard, & that is not splitting political or verbal hairs. Chris Bell is no more a friend of the 2A than John Kerry.

I remember not long ago when the Democrats ran to other states to try to avoid votes on conservative issues. They made a big deal out of it and the media ate it up. I think if we elect a Democrat for Governor we will see that form of radical governing in Austin. We will see attacks on CHL and Texans civil rights relating to firearms in general. Mr. Bell would be a radical change not only in what we are accustom to from the Governors office. But, also the Legislature, from the Democrats aggressive pursuit of a liberal agenda. I think they would be convinced Texas had gone to the left and oppose every conservative issue to include CHL and self-defense. Also, we would see a vast difference in how the Texas AG interprets laws. Something that has been very favorable under Gov. Perry because of his requests to clarify issues. I don't believe we would see that under Mr. Bell. On top of that, a Democrat Governor in Texas would signal a shift national politics that could elect radical leftists in today's more moderate states. I don't believe we should risk our gains for the purpose of change. And if Mr. Bell is almost as good as Governor Perry we still lose in the "almost".

The fact is, you don 't really have any clue as to what the Chris Bell's agenda might be other than what you have heard from your conservative leadership & friends.
