[JJVP]

On Wednesday, Rep. Rubén Hinojosa (D-TX) drew a blank when asked about the Second Amendment during a debate with his Republican challenger in McAllen, Texas, The Monitor reported.

“And I can tell you that — I’m drawing a blank on the Second Amendment, but I think it’s the weapons, isn’t it? The NRA?”

Sadly, I shudder to think of the number of young voters that would answer "True" to the following question:

"True or false, the second amendment, which allows Americans to have guns, was forced into the constitution by the powerful lobbying of the NRA"

Please remember, this article is NOT about Texas State Senator Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa.

Chas, correct me if I'm wrong but Chuy wasn't any help on campus carry last year was he?

Don't mean to hijack thread about Ruben, just seeking clarification of my memory on Chuy

I think Chuy Hinojosa knows about the Second Amendment. His voting record isn't perfect but it's more pro gun than some Texas Republicans.

Correct and this reduced his TSRA rating from A+ to B+.

However, he has been solid as a rock on every other gun issue, as far as I can recall. For example, the Motorist Protection Act passed on the last day possible, because Chuy got it done in the Senate. He is one of a very few Senators I want to carry bills I write. That's because he doesn't just file a bill to satisfy a constituent then abandon it. He works gun bills!

Thanks to redistricting, he's no longer my Rep.

Chuy,Hinojosa, I think, is in for a real fight. Rep. Frank Torres is challenging him for the Senate seat.
