All pro-gun bills are dead in this year's session.

Clearly the remnant of LBJ is still alive in TX

Im assuming the Repubs have control of the House in Texas? Can they recall him and vote in someone who will be supportive of the people that elected him/her?

Why can’t the rest of the Republicans oust him?
To: TexasGunLover
I must be missing something here. How can a Democrat chair any committee in a chamber that is controlled by Republicans? This sounds wrong.

Hate to say it, but Texas republicans are not very dependable as conservatives. They love to crow about how conservative they are, but you get way too many Bush loving KoolAid drinkers like Cornyn, this clown Bonnen, etc.
They are very neocon, very pro-deep state, very pro-status quo, very globalist. Most Texan PEOPLE are not. But their elected republicans are. That’s just a fact.

They do it to reach across the aisle and be "reasonable" with the few democrats in the legislature... Hint, most R's in Texas are pretty middle of the road.

Sounds like Dennis Bonnen has been bribed or blackmailed by the Texas DNC.

True. Just takes a few minutes to hear how many of them revere both Bush Presidents.

Look, I've hunted with George W once, he's ridden in my truck twice, I've had dinner with him 2 times, he handed me my diploma, and I've golfed twice in the last 30 years.
He's not an ultra liberal. Blue blood conservative, but he's a nice, kind and intelligent guy, but not representative of what we think of as being conservative.
He's a middle of the road conservative, who looks for compromise.
To: \/\/ayne
Sounds like Dennis Bonnen has been bribed or blackmailed by the Texas DNC. My first thoughts exactly.

It doesn’t matter. Even if they’re able to move an anti-gun bill out of their committees and out of Calendars Committee, the would never survive a floor vote in the House — much less survive the Senate and Governor’s veto.
Not all Democrats make lousy committee chairs. Richard Raymond (D-Laredo) is an outstanding Chair of the House Committee on Human Services, and has been for years. OTOH, we’ve had some terrible Republican chairs in the recent past.
To: TexasGunLover
Is there a legal avenue for a recall?
To: TexasGunLover
Dan Patrick just removed Seliger as Ag committee chair, why can’t he remove these two?
To: TexasGunLover
Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct before the Republic does.

Exactly. He let in countless millions of Mexicans. He let in 850,000 moslems after 9/11. He is a typical globalist neocon. Had no problem with the TPP, NAFTA, Trans Texas tollway run by Spain. tried to block the execution of a Mexican murderer.
But he sure knows the “aw shucks” routine.
You say he is about “compromise”. I say he is about incremental surrender. Compromise implies BOTH sides gain something, and give UP something they hold dear.
I never saw him once stick it hard to the Democrats.
His idea of “compromise” is the dems ask for single payer national health care. He gives them prescription medical coverage, part of what they want. They gain some of what they want, and we only give up what we have.
I see no signs of intelligence in him.
