Texas House Democrats turn up the heat on Gov. Abbott to call special session on gun reform

 Governor Greg Abbott’s office says instead of calling an emergency special session on gun violence, he hopes to find “consensus” around solutions before trying to push them through the Texas legislature.

This comes as a swath of Texas Democrats increased the pressure on the state’s top leaders to act, after two deadly mass shootings in the last month and four in less than two years.

Democrats in the Texas House hosted five press conferences Wednesday morning in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, and El Paso. They signed a letter to Gov. Greg Abbott, R-Texas, asking him to call an emergency special session “on protecting Texans from gun violence.”

Sixty-one members of the House Democratic Caucus signed a letter delivered to Abbott Wednesday morning, urging him to address the gun violence epidemic.

I would counter that illegals kill more than rifles, so any gun reform has to be coupled with immigration reform.

This was all over the local news last night.  Some very emotional and compelling soundbites.  They're pulling out all stops.

Judging from the story about his eight executive directives, I'd say Abbot is looking for a way to cave to the Rats on this.   9999hair out0000

At the moment, I'd say you are wrong about that but we won't know until we see what actually comes out.

I trust your judgement, Abbot's been damned good so far!
