Ohhh Poncho!

Poncho Nevárez?

The guy "Speaker Dennis Bonnen elevated ... to chair the Homeland Security & Public Safety Committee ... currently serving on the Mass Violence Prevention & Community Safety, Select Committee"?  I don't suppose the drug trade has anything to do with that?

Looks like Poncho's doing his part to make you obey signs the cartels he enables ignore, and the DemandingMoms approve! He actually said, with a straight face, mind you, it would "mak[e] business owners' prohibition of concealed handguns in establishments much more business and customer friendly."

Hey, he probably needed the money after those campaign finance violations.

Looks like it's all Zuckerberg's fault anyway...

Though most Republican legislators have remained silent, some are beginning to speak out, calling for Speaker Dennis Bonnen to step down. [More]

As opposed to carrying him out on a rail...?

Meaning they'll still be "illegal."

And good luck with Dennis Bonnen.  Prediction: If he does end up making a show of support it will be because he knows it won't alter reality but he can still exploit it to build back some "pro-gun" creds.

The Mask is Off

Bonnen is an enemy. He didn't want constitutional carry and now he's got his excuse. [More]

Also note McNutt's explanation, which all the"mainstream" accounts I've seen don't mention so it will appear like a threat. When I first saw this story elsewhere, I was wondering what he was thinking. This puts it in a different light. Why shouldn't you be able to walk precincts and knock on doors for political issues just like the politicians and their teams of supporters do?

Reaching Across the Lane

So naturally:

Newly elected Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, Republican Dennis Bonnen, campaigned as a pro-Second Amendment candidate. However, actions speak far louder than words and we now see he lied. 

Feel free to express your appreciation.
