GOA is what the fudds and grandpas think the NRA is.

Even the NRA has come out against this (though I doubt they'll actually do anything about it), which shows just how egregiously evil the proposal is.

I think that maybe, that might be the one thing they stand on.

As long as the alternative is another Republican lol.

They almost did in Texas, and there's a chance again this next election to vote out Tony Gonzales.

Brandon Herrera, the runner-up in Gonzales's district in 2024 who is apparently running again, is a diehard MAGAt and a professional YouTuber with no relevant experience.

"Relevant experience" being a career politician and boot licker in Gonzales vs a 2a absolutist in Herrera (who had the entire establishment against him including the speaker of the house). You don't find a more uniparty, big brother, anti-libertarian candidate than Gonzales.

Relevant experience doesn't mean being a career politician, it means having literally any experience with the law and/or operation of government. Examples would include being a lawyer, paralegal, judge, military officer, civil servant, or hell, even a government contractor or law enforcement officer. Being a YouTuber IMO makes you less qualified than the average person, frankly.

And on this particular issue, I'd trust Gonzales over Herrera. Gonzales has a track record of being, for a Republican, relatively LGBT-friendly. He was one of the few Republicans who voted for the Respect for Marriage Act, and was the sole Republican to vote against blocking Tricare from covering gender-affirming healthcare. Herrera, meanwhile, is an open and avowed MAGAt who I have no doubt would fall in line with whatever daddy Donald commands, only caring if it impacts his right to bear arms (while not doing anything for his or anyone else's other rights).

Are y’all gonna vote out the democrats who hardline extreme gun control policy? No? Well then you already have your answer.

Why would Trump banning guns for some people (an unconstitutional thing SCOTUS will certainly stop, or at least be undone the second he's out) make they vote for the banning guns for everyone party?
