I said this 6 months ago, but was shouted down because I didn't live in Texas, lol. You have to know the neocon species and study it. Hope he's wrong.
Dan Patrick:
"
As is typical of the media looking to build wedges among conservatives, many stories took words out of context. I did not say the bill was dead but suggested instead that, because the votes were not there (at this time), it had not risen to a level of priority....at this point. That is far different than saying an issue is not a priority,
it just means work still needs to be done."
"
There are many in the Open Carry movement who are being productive and positive in helping to move the bill forward. The way to pass a bill is to build relationships and explain why your issue is good for Texas."
"As is typical of the media looking to build wedges among conservatives, many stories took words out of context.

Stop spreading pessimism. We in Texas still have work to do and we don't need people slowing us down or getting us down.
