Dustin Burrows co-authored Texas' so-called "Second Amendment Sanctuary" law in 2021, giving Texas the authority to push back against ANY unconstitutional gun control passed by the Biden administration.1
As expected Joe Biden worked with Republicans like John Cornyn last summer to pass the "Bipartisan Safer Communities Act," which Biden referred to as "the most significant gun [control] legislation to pass Congress in 30 years."2
Sadly, when Burrows went back to Austin this session, He voted to pass SB 728 to bring state law into line with part of Biden's gun control law by dumping millions of Texans' records into the flawed NICS Gun Ban Registry - instead of allowing Texas to exercise its new authority under the Second Amendment Sanctuary law.3
Burrows only plays lip service to the Second Amendment when it makes him look good -- but will NOT actually fight back against the Federal Government when given the opportunity.
In 2021, Dustin Burrows voted AGAINST Constitutional Carry on college campuses, which would have been a de facto end to dangerous "gun free" zones that are usually targeted by violent criminals.4
Burrows also voted AGAINST expanding Constitutional Carry to all legal adults, including single mothers and military aged individuals between the ages of 18 and 20.5
He also voted AGAINST Constitutional Carry on lands managed by the Lower Colorado River Authority, including dozens of campgrounds across the state.6
Dustin Burrows' anti-gun votes against pro-gun amendments helped create a confusing patchwork of gun laws that could accidentally trip up otherwise law-abiding gun owners.
Voted to impeach America's most pro-gun Attorney General, Ken Paxton!
The Texas House "ran out of time" to pass many pro-gun reforms like the Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA) and a ban on "Red Flag" Gun Confiscation, but it found the time to conduct a sham impeachment of Attorney General Ken Paxton during the final days of the 2023 legislative session... conveniently after Paxton publicly called out Speaker Phelan for being drunk on the House floor!
The Texas Gag Act
In 2023, Dustin Burrows teamed up with anti-gun Democrats to silence the grassroots by voting to hide his liberal anti-gun record from YOU.7
This First Amendment shredding legislation, better known as the Texas Gag Act, would've forced groups like Texas Gun Rights to release their entire list of membership records and donors if they dared to talk about the voting record of a politician!
Most hard-working Texans, just like you, simply don't have the time to go knocking on doors, make phone calls, or engage in issue advocacy during the work week. That's why you support a group like TXGR -- to be your voice!
But forcing groups like TXGR to disclose donors, just for talking about a politician's voting record, is like painting a bullseye on YOUR back in this "cancel culture" era.
Imagine every office busybody and every local antifa activist knowing you donated to a gun rights organization, or other conservative causes?
NOT good!
This would have a chilling effect on free speech for you... and remove ALL accountability for your elected officials.
Thankfully the Texas Gag Act was killed in the Senate after Burrows joined Democrats to pass it out of the Texas House.
Shared via email by WarOnGuns Correspondent CDT : Dear President Trump: This past Thursday, there was a spree shooting at Fort Stewart, exacerbated by the fact that none of the servicemen in a position to control the shooter were armed. I won't waste any language further describing the attack, I'm confident you're aware of it. There have been seven other spree shootings with this same profile since 2009, all made possible by President Clinton's ban on soldiers carrying arms inside military bases (DOD Directive 5210.56). There is no place in the USA for victim disarmament policies, but *especially* not on military bases. Back in 2015, you volunteered this pledge to Fredy Riehl of AmmoLand.com: "As Commander-in-Chief, I would mandate that soldiers remain armed and on alert at our military bases. President Clinton never should have passed a ban on soldiers being able to protect themselves on bases. America’s Armed Forces will be armed. They will be able to defend the...
David Codrea Originally published on GunTruths.com (1999) American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California Executive Director Ramona Ripston claims the 2nd Amendment does not guarantee an individual right to keep and bear arms, but rather, was only intended to provide for the right of states to maintain a militia. I challenged her to prove this. Since her position was based on the concept of original intent, my challenge centered on that issue, i.e., I asked her to provide evidence based on writings from America's Revolutionary era to substantiate her claim. The following is her response: Dear Mr. Codrea: As you requested, I am enclosing copies of information the ACLU of Southern California has published on the Second Amendment. Sincerely, Ramona Ripston Executive Director encl. Enclosure #1 is a fold-out brochure claiming "When the founders of the United States of America (inset portraits of Jefferson and Madison) wrote the Second Amendment...(photo of semiautom...
