Dan Crenshaw – The War on Guns

Simon-Pure

The fourth-term congressman, who lost decisively to state Rep. Steve Toth, said baseless attacks about his alleged insider trading and gun stances fueled the upset… Rep. Dan Crenshaw blamed unfounded attacks and a culture of misinformation … saying in an interview that the “power of clickbait” proved too much to overcome. [More]

Right. Couldn’t have been what preceded those “attacks”…

Presupposing There are ‘Just’ Red Flag Laws…?

H.R.223 – Preventing Unjust Red Flag Laws Act of 2025 [More]

Change of heart, Dan?

Maybe not:

Prognosis 1% chance of being enacted

That and define “unjust.” Until there’s a guilty verdict, we’re all supposed to be presumed innocent.

It’s almost like he’s hoping this will make gun owners think he’s our champion.

I continue to be unimpressed by this man.

No More Loyalty Cards?

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, is pushing to halt federal funding to colleges and universities that force students to sign or make statements on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). [More]

So, basically, they require them to be oath keepers…?

I don’t see it on GovTrack yet.

When they post it, expect the “Prognosis” to show “Not a snowball’s chance in hell, but he’s getting political mileage anyway.”

I’d love to be wrong.

Of Course, You Realize This Means War

Congressman Dan Crenshaw advocates military strike, calling cartels ‘clear and present’ threat [More]

Is he also ready to take out their embedded assets and enablers in government?

Before we start beating war drums (again!), let’s assess what “winning” means.

We’re the Only Ones Truthful Enough

A bill Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw introduced Friday could streamline Border Patrol’s hiring process by eliminating the polygraph requirement for some candidates with law enforcement or military credentials. [More]

Because nothing says “more trustworthy than you” like being an “Only One.”

This Crenshaw character certainly has proved to be a continual disappointment.

This is CNN

“Is it easy to get into your headquarters at CNN?” Crenshaw asked. “Absolutely not. There’s armed guards there. There’s single points of entry. [More]

Nice to see him on the right side of things for a change…

In the Spirit of Bipartisanship

Crenshaw Introduces Bipartisan ATF Accountability Act Following Pistol Brace Ban [More]

And the odds of this doing anything besides polishing up some tarnished 2A creds…?

That and make it look like Democrat Henry Cuellar is anything other than an enemy.

Keep Digging

Crenshaw walks back ‘terrorist’ comment [More]

Figures he needs to go to CNN to weasel-word his way around it.

What a disappointment this guy has pretty consistently been to constituents who wanted to believe in him.

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
