Texas AG Ken Paxton: Gun Owners “Have A Right To Be Suspicious” Of Possible Gun Laws

On Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton discussed the Biden administrations possible plans for stricter gun legislation after the mass shootings in Georgia and Colorado.

“We will fight him tooth and nail on this. Texas is certainly not going to put up with it, and I don’t think the nation should put it. There’s a reason that the Second Amendment exists. It was there because the founders feared government and they wanted to make sure that the people could defend themselves if they ever had to against their own government. That’s the reality and that’s why it was put there. So we’ll defend that in Texas tooth and nail.”

“I don’t think it makes any sense to create laws for law abiding citizens. If you’re going to ban guns in any way, the people that follow those laws are not the people that kill people. People kill people don’t follow any laws. It never made sense to me to pass laws that say you can’t have a gun, like somehow that can prevent somebody that’s crazy or mentally ill from pursuing what they want to pursue. The government has no right to crack down, not within their power to crack down on people that are rightfully holding guns. That’s part of what the founders were worried about. So I think they have a right to be suspicious and we should fight it in every possible way.”
