Wow. This good ol’ boy hits the nail on the head:

...and now, Dan Crenshaw has betrayed us

Democrats will always take any anti-gun step they can, up to and including legislating confiscation (let's not get into the difficulties of effecting confiscation). Republicans are the only bulwark, and when they decide to relent on some point, that point is gone.

You mean the point when Reagan, in effect, banned Machine Guns in 1986?
Looks like we are in for worse now with the way the party is going...including the President...and now Texas. (If we lose Texas via demographic change...we lose all of the states. America will be gone forever)

I get that. But that argument, over the years, has really shown to be a non-solution.
Lesser of two evils is still an evil. With the Democrats our guard is always up and they get nowhere, with Republicans we trust them to a fault and let our guard down and even let them spit on our back and tell us “it’s raining” with barely a “please don’t do that, we are your supporters” from the NRA (or any other group supporting conservative American beliefs)

When Democrats are in charge, the NRA is: “From my cold dead hands!” and “any gun any time anywhere” and “good guy with a gun” and other Republicans generally follow these battlecries and refuse to give in.

When Republicans are in charge, Republicans gradually push for “universal background checks”, “Red Flag laws” and “Common sense gun reform” and the NRA is: “please don’t do that” and “bump stocks are not arms”

I mean if limp wristed Lindsey Graham is pushing for it, that’s one thing and nobody cares, but we have Greg Abbott, Mitch McConnell and even Ted Cruz and John Cornyn flirting with the ideas as well as President Trump. It’s building support among Republicans in the House and Senate and White House.

Even in the, so-called Red State of Texas. (Texas WILL go blue soon if demographic and immigration changes aren’t radically made)
