Gun Group Plans To 'Hunt Down The Republicans' Who Opposed Texas Open Carry Bill

After Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) announced on Tuesday that there were not enough votes in the state senate to pass a bill allowing residents to open carry handguns, a state gun group responded with threats.

Tarrant County Open Carry said it will not accept the lawmakers' decision to drop the bill for now and plans to identify Republican lawmakers who do not support the legislation.

"Well, it's time to hunt down the Republicans who don't support the Constitution and the Republican Platform," the group wrote on Facebook. "Then, we will expose them and help them find a new job by making sure they won't have a chance to ever get elected in Texas again. Time to start sending these people to California."

The group encouraged supporters to call their state senators and find those "who are not listening to the #WeThePeople."

Hope they are shown the same privilege the Black Panthers received.

No group in the country is currently doing more to move us towards a sane policy on firearms than they are. The more conservative lawmakers who have to install panic buttons on account of nutcase groups like TCOC, the better.
