Gun Owners of America, a conservative firearm rights group, spoke out against Texas Sen. John Cornyn's bid to replace Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell as Senate Republican leader.

"The Senate deserves a conservative pro-gun leader, and John Cornyn is not that person," Gun Owners of America Federal Affairs Director Aidan Johnston said last week in a statement posted by the group on X, formerly Twitter. "Every time a gun issue comes up, he’s right there with a compromise. And that’s not leadership. That’s just capitulation to gun control."

Johnston reiterated his group's opposition in comments to Fox News Digital on Saturday.

"In the eyes of gun owners and all those who treasure our liberties, the traitor from Texas' record makes him wholly unfit to lead Republicans in the Senate," he said.

Cornyn announced his bid to replace McConnell on Thursday.

"Sen. Cornyn is responsible for helping pass the so-called Bipartisan Safer Communities Act that, among other things, bribes states to enact 'red-flag' gun confiscation laws, creates a national de facto wait period for young adults to buy a gun, and creates a backdoor ATF rule to eliminate the private sale of firearms," Johnston also said, calling the law's provisions "gross infringements on the Second Amendment."

The Safer Communities Act urges states to pass "red flag" laws that allow the public and law enforcement to petition courts to issue an order temporarily suspending a person's access to firearms over concerns that person may pose a danger to themselves or others.

Johnston added: "The best thing Senator Cornyn could do for gun rights is join Mitch McConnell in retirement."

McConnell is not retiring from his position as senator, only as GOP leader.

Cornyn, however, has not faced public opposition from other major firearms groups. When he ran for reelection in 2020, before the passage of the Safer Communities Act, the National Rifle Association's political action committee gave Cornyn an A+ rating for his defense of firearm rights.

Good.

But what State is Gun Owners of America Federal Affairs Director Aidan Johnston voting in? He should think about cleaning up his own State Cesspool before he dares to make negative comments about a Texan.

I'm a Texan and no way!


John "Wayne" McCornyn is not one of us!

and just fer schitz n' giggles, I not the only Texan.......................


Texas Scorecard | December 21, 2022

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn will not be up for re-election until 2026. We asked if that GOP primary were to be held today, though, where would readers stand on his re-election.


Here is a sample of the responses we received from our readers.

“John Cornyn is a great argument for repealing the 17th amendment. Or putting in place term limits.” – Tom Bartel

“Nearly 6,000 GOP Delegates booed Cornyn at the last state convention. Cornyn’s reply in the newspaper to this was, ‘I don’t bow to the mob.’ He called his own delegation a ‘mob.’ He clearly doesn’t care what Texans want. He needs to be censored by the GOP immediately. Cornyn definitely has to go.” – Kristen McCarty

“Cornyn can have serious discussions with fence sitters because he doesn’t start by insulting them. I think our Texas senators are doing a great job.” – David Holden

“I haven’t been a fan of John Phony Crony, since he stabbed Ted Cruz in the back, in 2013, over Obamacare. I stopped voting for him after that, and have been warning people against him ever since! He sold his soul to the D.C. swamp.” – Sonya Allison

“Who does he purport to represent any way? It sure isn’t Texans!” – Jay Westfall

“I don’t know how he got re-elected last time! He votes with the Democrats at least 80% of the time!” – Doreen Cardenas

“In the past, Senator Cornyn has served the state of Texas honorably and well. However, the immigration situation is completely out of hand, and is indeed an invasion to our great state! As such, if that is truly what he believes, then a more forceful voice needs to be elected.” – Phyllis N. Peek

“Cornyn may don the garb of a conservative citizen, but by word and deed, he is a liberal socialist to the bone and has been for many years.” – Jan LeBlanc

“I have said this many times John Cornyn only comes around when he’s up for re election. He is no friend of Texas or its constituents. We need to encourage someone like Ronny Jackson, Chip Roy or even Louie Gohmert to primary him.” – Landon Capozzi

“Sadly, like all too many politicians with an R by their name, Cornyn has essentially turned his back on his constituents.” – Ellen Leyrer

“John Cornyn is just as bad as Mitch McConnell Why we still allow them to call themselves Republicans is beyond me! We have got to get those two OUT of the Republican Party and out of office.” – Dara Richardson

“Your survey question is meaningless. Who might be running against him? As bad as it is, to label the present situation as an invasion is simply a play on words even though it is descriptive of what is happening. It is also a humanitarian crisis of the highest magnitude and it needs to stop. But for me, or anyone else to say that Cornyn must go simply based upon his verbalized assessment is a bit foolish.” – Norman Turner

“I’ve been voting against Cornyn since 2014!” – Ann Pavalock

“John Cornyn is not a fighter for Texas at all, but rather a politician who has lost the reason he went to DC.” – Betsy Lehnert

“I answered, ‘Cornyn has to go.’ I tell you, I have friends who think Cornyn is great. Those friends are full-blown Democrats so… What does that tell you about Cornyn?” – Ray Holloway

“I will not vote for Cornyn if his is the only name on the ballot.” – Kathryn Martin

“He is Texas’ RINO, one step behind McConnell and gets more like him on most critical issues.’ – John Booth

“John Cornyn pays no heed whatsoever to his constituents and their wishes. He doesn’t even pretend to do so. He is a perfect example of a swamp creature overlord who expects compliance and even gratitude. I am disgusted with him. Should he run again, I will campaign for anyone who primaries him.” – Vikie Schwartz

“Anyone who doesn’t recognize Cornyn as a huge part of the problem is also part of the problem.” – Norman Planer

“Cornyn has become another two faced politician! TERM LIMITS, PEOPLE!” – Lynn Tannehill

“I’ve been an ‘anyone but Cornyn’ voter since the end of his first term in Washington. He has RINO written on his forehead!” – O. Machelle Morris

“I have written someone in every time to avoid voting for Cornyn.” – Kevin Bowden

“I did not vote for Cornyn in the last election. To fix this problem the Republican Party of Texas needs to choose a true Republican and not McConnell’s Siamese twin!” – John R. Makow

“I haven’t voted for Cornyn in the last two senate election cycles. He’s a RINO and needs to be primaried.” – Camille Adams

“Cornyn is worse than a RINO. He is a traitor, IMO. He does NOT support the values of the people of Texas. And, it would appear that he does not support the values of the American Constitution or the American people either.” – Mary E. Duval

Cornyn is a P.O.S. and I have called his office several times to tell him that. He never met a DEM plan he didn't like and support.

Another prime example of voting for The Lesser of Two Evils.

I was a big supporter of voting TLoTE for most of my adult life. Thank you Donald J Trump for exposing the Truth about the Republican Party and what they actually stand for.

Cornyn also supported the woke military base name change campaign. I sent him an email about his position on it before the vote and he responded with a BS political double-speak response that made no logical sense, talking about how his father was a WW II veteran and therefore he knew what was best for the issue. My father was also a WW II veteran and that has absolutely nothing to do with the issue. I refuse to support him in anything other than if he was the only alternative to voting for a DemocRat. P_ss on the POS! He p_ssed on my ancestors and I ain't forgot it!!

This is proof that sticking together works. I realize that the NRA has been beat up for the last few years due to poor leadership. I'm glad to see another organization picking up the slack and taking the lead. Together we stand and divided we fall.

The problem we've had with John Cornyn is in the past nobody has been able to run against him. McCain/Feingold is truly the "incumbent protection act". He has a huge war chest mostly from liberals and the past GOP supported him. The tide in changing. If he ran tomorrow I think 75% of Texans would vote for ken Paxton to replace him. Writing to him does no good. You get a form letter exclaiming how marvelous he is. I'll support a lot of people to replace McConnell but not Cornyn.

So we have about two years now to replace Cornyn in the primaries. As soon as this cycle is complete our local organizations will get to work, and I will by God be a part of it. Local participation is the key (even if certain morons here don't understand it or believe it), and I can promise that there's going to be an all out effort to purge this sonuvabitch. The one single thing he could do as Majority Leader to save himself from our wrath would be to suddenly grow a conservative spine, but that is the last thing I expect to see. Besides, I want Rand Paul as leader. F uck Cornyn.
