Dan Patrick has never been a friend of the Second Amendment. After the first "mass shooting" he came out for gun control because "the gun was not legal because it was put together by the individual and couldn't be traced" or something equally as lame. He is from Pennsylvania and has never been comfortable with people owning firearms. He sings a good tune but he is a skunk of the first water. Abbott is in the same boat with him as he governs by whichever way he thinks the political wind blows.
