(10,144 posts)Other than an acknowledgment of the email, Ive heard nothing back about my comments. Anyone who agrees that his gun stance is a losing proposition might also send an email. Perhaps t would have an impact if many people share their response. The email I used is info@betofortexas.com.
Im sure others will disagree, but the war over guns has already been lost. Even a buy-back program would most likely reduce the number of guns by a very small amount, especially in Texas. To me, its a third-rail topic that is an unnecessary impediment to a successful campaign. There are so many more issues that are important to Texas voters, like healthcare (especially reproductive rights and one of the highest maternal death rates in the nation), refusal to expand Medicaid. the energy grid, unaffordable housing in cities like Austin, unequal K-12 education, child care costs, 20% of the states children living in poverty, the conditions in border towns being overrun with migrants, voting rights and fair elections.
