After Cornyn blames jeers at Texas GOP on 'mob,' gun rights group demands apology

WASHINGTON — Jeered at the Texas Republican convention for his role in Senate gun talks and drowned out by chants of “No red flags,” Sen. John Cornyn dismissed the booing GOP delegates as a “mob.”

That did not go over well with some gun owners. On Monday, one hard-line gun rights group demanded his apology “for mocking his law-abiding constituents.”

Cornyn had not responded to the demand as of Sunday evening.

“John Cornyn is the definition of a two-faced politician. He claims to support the Second Amendment, but is actually working to eviscerate our gun rights by cutting deals with anti-gun Democrats — and when his constituents publicly held him accountable, he called them a mob,” said Dudley Brown, president of the National Association for Gun Rights.

The group claims 4.5 million members and is demanding that “gun-free” school zones be abolished, insisting that would be a better response to the Uvalde school rampage on May 24, which left 19 children and two teachers dead, than anything under consideration by the bipartisan group Cornyn has been working with.

We demand an apology from them. Be sorry for the dead kids who may have had a good day at school. If your sexual sick obsession with firearms hadn't put a assault rifle in a troubled young man's hands

“National Association for Gun Rights”.

Like the NRA, only more slimy and grifty. I wouldn’t be surprised if it isn’t a T**** scam.

I don't think he has the guts to tell the pro-gun mob to fuck off, as he should.

Most gun owners support red flag laws. Most NRA members support them too

Americans and Gun owners support gun safety reforms without taking away guns. Theytoo are getting sick and tired of the senseless mass shootings taking place.

Why would this radical offshoot group oppose red flag laws to keep guns out of the hands of those deemed dangerous to society? Who are abusive to others? Who are not yet 21?

Where in the 2nd Amendment does it say one has a right to own an arsenal of guns, hundreds if not thousands of rounds of ammo just to defend oneself, target practice, or hunt Bambi or Bullwinkle?

Am I missing something here?

I learned that a long time ago in school. These lying, paranoid fucks who started this right wing bullshit are now being eaten by the very monsters they created. Cornyn is one and Crenshaw is another.

I hope the GOP destroys itself.. and one more thing.. The want Texas to secede from the Union. Fine with me! Only state in the union to fight TWO wars on behalf of slavery!

And dragging a lot of hard won institutional protections and advancements with them. Why? Too comfortable and too ignorant. These people and their kids need to live at the very margins of the developing world for a year. To recognize how fortunate they freakin are to live in this nation and time of comfort. And to recognize the humanity in all peoples and learn a few things about finding satisfaction not based on demonizing others, not based on things, and based on extended support of others. They need to serve others for a time and stop their selfish ways. But they won’t. They will burn it all down until suffering arrives at their door or that of their descendants and even then blame everyone else. How civilizations fall.

So, let's see, there were guns in the Uvalde school zone, so it was not gun free. How'd that work out, geniuses?
