    He’s being very anti-gun in a state where there is a strong gun culture. He could’ve said something like “We need to stop criminals from getting guns”, instead, he said something along the lines of “We’re coming for all your guns!”

          I have no idea and don’t see why that would be relevant to gun control being a viable issue in Texas.

            When someone comes and murders your children in their school, WITH GUNS, and the governor barely responds with anything but thoughts and prayers, and you and the rest of your murdered children town vote thoughts and prayers guy back in, it’s a pretty good reflection of how the town as a whole feels about guns. You like them. Since the children weren’t still in the womb it’s okay if they’re getting murdered. At school. With guns.

              A town’s feeling on the subject has little to do with the state as a whole. It was red before the shooting and still red after, that doesn’t mean there wasn’t movement or that the rest of Texas, that trusted “gun-grabbing” Beto at 43% on guns, isn’t more conflicted on the issue.
