Translation: they want to wait till the Supreme Court releases their latest gun decision.

I’m all for delaying any action by Congress for anything. All they do is create misery.

I predict that gun sales will only increase over the next few months.

I know - how can I make such a prediction?

I’m willing to give them 50 years to iron out their differences.

I think this is the best thing the Republicans can do. Keep talking about the issue, asking the Democrats for their solutions, running out the clock.

The press will have a hard time painting the Republicans as roadblocking any legislation since they want to “hammer” out the details. And the Democrats will look more and more feckless as they ramp up the vitriol but fail to do anything.

NO COMPROMISE. Republicrats will NOT rescue us without some pressure. Even then................. Been sending stuff to my ‘reps’ for what it’s worth. Probably just get me on the jack boots watch list. Uh, if not already on it. Like most FReepers probably. We are a troublesome bunch.

The deep-stater is probably working with Schumer to decide how many Americans will die in the first batch once the guns have been all confiscated.

F@CK John “Wayne” Cornyn!

This guy is one of my Senators and he needs to be voted out of office...I have not voted for Senator in any election in which Cornyn was the Rep candidate since he and Kay “Bailout” Hutchinson voted to give away millions of taxpayer dollars to bail out all the businesses during W. economic disaster!!

I have voted in every GOP Primary where he had an opponent...for his opponents!! So let me say it again, in case someone was not sure where I stand.

FU(K JOHN CORNYN!

Here’s the canned reply I received this morning from Senator asshat. I’m guessing he will fold.

Thank you for contacting me regarding federal firearms laws. I appreciate having the benefit of your comments on this important matter.

On May 24, 2022, a gunman maliciously took the lives of 21 innocent people, including 19 children at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. My heart goes out to the loved ones of those who lost their lives as they grieve such a cruel tragedy. This is an incredibly difficult time for the Uvalde community, Texas, and our Nation. My office is coordinating with federal, state, and local officials to assist the people of Uvalde as they navigate the aftermath of this senseless act of violence.

As your Senator, I am committed to focusing on the root causes of mass violence, fully enforcing current law, and addressing improvements to mental health care in America. I will continue to push for effective solutions that protect communities and preserve citizens’ Second Amendment rights. As a strong proponent of the Second Amendment, I believe it is essential to safeguard law-abiding citizens’ constitutional right to own and use firearms for lawful purposes. Restricting this right runs counter to the intent of our Founding Fathers, who expressly guaranteed that citizens would retain the right to keep and bear arms.

It is encouraging that the Supreme Court has upheld the will of our Founders and re-affirmed the ideals upon which our country was established. The Supreme Court’s ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) affirmed that Americans’ constitutional rights remain secure from federal government intrusion. I was proud to sign an amicus brief to the Supreme Court supporting the fundamental right of American citizens to keep and bear arms. This landmark ruling continues to have implications far beyond the District of Columbia. In the 2010 McDonald v. City of Chicago decision, the Supreme Court struck down the arbitrary gun ban in Chicago-thereby affirming that the Second Amendment protects Americans’ fundamental rights against state and local encroachment.

As a former Texas Supreme Court Justice and Attorney General, I have firsthand knowledge of crime-fighting policies that work, and I believe citizens’ Second Amendment rights should not be restricted because of the actions of criminals. Rather, we must focus our attention on the source of violent crime: criminals who use firearms to harm innocent Americans. I believe strictly enforcing the law-and imposing tougher sentences on career criminals and violent offenders who use firearms-will reduce violence more effectively than gun or equipment bans, which primarily serve to take firearms away from law-abiding citizens.

Furthermore, I believe Americans with concealed handgun licenses should not sacrifice their safety and peace of mind when traveling between states. That is why I was proud to introduce the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2019 (S.69; 116th Congress). This bill would have allowed qualified individuals to carry a concealed handgun into, or possess a concealed handgun in another state that allows its residents to carry concealed firearms. While this bill did not pass last Congress, I look forward to working with my colleagues on furthering protection of Americans’ Second Amendment rights during the 117th Congress.

As your Senator, I will continue to champion the Second Amendment and work to provide resources for individuals with mental health issues to help ensure that our communities our safe and our Constitutional rights are not infringed.

I appreciate having the opportunity to represent Texas in the United States Senate, and will continue working with my colleagues to protect our Second Amendment rights. Thank you for taking the time to contact me.

Sincerely,

JOHN CORNYN

Hopefully, this OpenBorders RINO/Demlite is getting a LOT of push back, from his constituents.

Not that they actually care about any pushback, anymore.

Remember when sending faxes *used* to have a positive effect? Those were the good old days.

“Cornyn said negotiators need at least another week to resolve their differences.”

Until the check clears.

How about reaching a consensus on the meaning of "Shall not be infringed"?

He needs to read the 2nd Amendment. Should take about 30 seconds.

If the genesis of this “meeting” is the recent school shootings, why are they not considering other solutions rather than focus solely on gun control? Can they come up with a plan to have all school doors locked and a way to check they are locked? It’s non controversial and seems like a common sense starting point.
