Conservative gun rights groups come out swinging against John Cornyn’s bid to replace Mitch McConnell
BY Herschel Smith2 months ago
Gun Owners Of America came out swinging against Senator John Cornyn, R-TX, after he entered the race to succeed Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Aidan Johnston, Gun Owners Of America’s (GOA) Federal Affairs Director, said tCornyn has failed to stand firm on conservative values and has instead, compromised with Democrats on gun control bills.
“Every time gun control gains steam in Congress, Senator John Cornyn is right there working with Democrats on a ‘compromise.’ That isn’t conservative leadership, it’s capitulation!,” Johnston said.
The GOA said that Sen. Cornyn’s record on gun rights makes him “wholly unfit” to become the Senate minority leader.
“In the eyes of gun owners and all those who treasure our liberties, the traitor from Texas’ record makes him wholly unfit to lead Republicans in the Senate,” Johnston said.
The conservative gun rights group said Cornyn has helped pass a series of bills that are “gross infringements” on the Second Amendment.
The GOA pointed to Cornyn over the Safer Communities Act, which he cosponsored with Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy in 2022.
The bill incentivizes states to pass extreme risk protection laws, also called “red flag” laws, that allow members of the public and law enforcement to petition the courts for a civil order to temporarily suspend a person’s access to firearms for fear that person might do violence.
Well, yes, of course he’s wholly unfit to do anything attached to any sort of responsibility, much less lead the senate. He’s a communist.
I’m glad GOA has spoken out against Cornyn. Someone has to. Where is the NRA in this? Oh, did they give Cornyn a “report card?” What does it say? No, don’t tell me. I’m not interested.
John Cornyn is a traitor. Tell everyone you know.

I’m rather embarrassed of Cornyn, being a Texas Resident. Cornyn was a friend in the past, but no longer held high. Feet of clay as it were. Maybe he feels now is the time to convert to ‘Uni-Party’ ?
The word ‘compromise’ is BOTH sides giving up something they value to get legislation done. Want to ban bump stocks ? Then legalize U.S. isseued conceal weapon carry permits nationwide. We recognize each states drivers licenses across the board, right ? Then why shouldn’t conceal carry receive same treatment ?
That is just an example – not what I want. NO MORE FREE GIMMES TO THE LEFT. NO MORE “WE’LL GET THEM NEXT TIME’ legislation. Maybe more consideration on what they want vs. what they give up will give them more pause.

Perfect example of what I keep saying. It’s not only the D.C. sewer that needs removing. Keep your eyes on local and state political scum. Texas nearly did not get CCW but for the efforts of Dr. Hupp, who survived the Luby Cafeteria shooting. The scum political class had held it up for years. Her parents were killed. She shown a light on them and the roaches were trapped. Cornyn is not even as bad as a commie as he does not have any moral (or other) compass. He is just like a virus. Unthinking just consuming whatever is in his path.

I’m sorry I kept him out of jail.

Texans have been trying to primary Cornyn for years without success. He is as bad as any demoncrat. Has too much money behind him. I am at the point in life to have no trust for any politician. Regardless of what they say. Like Dan Bongino says. They all hate you.

Spot on @ Houston, stole my thunder. It is all about the money, & these uni-party elites are flush full. He absolutely needs to go, it is possible we booted Clara McCaskill a incumbent demonkrat senator, but it is hard and takes a lot of ground work to wake up the right.

Same old Overton Windw play. Suggest a very bad person first, so an average bad person can be installed. The government is nothing if not predictable.
