At Houston debate Democrats tell us they want to take away people's guns, but are quite on their plan to take away millions of Texas jobs in fossil fuel businesses

Washington Examiner:
Gun control featured prominently in the third Democratic debate in Houston, with most of the 10 candidates trying to one-up each other on the issue while also jabbing repeatedly at President Trump.

The Democratic White House hopefuls gathered on stage at Texas Southern University, a historically black college about 700 miles from El Paso, where 22 people died in an August shooting massacre, and 500 miles from Midland-Odessa, where eight people died weeks later in another rampage. Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who represented El Paso in Congress, won praise from many of his rivals for his leadership after tragedy shook his hometown.

O’Rourke offered some of the most memorable rhetoric over gun control, including calls to confront the National Rifle Association. O’Rourke, 46, also used the nationally televised platform to reiterate his unabashed plan for a mandatory firearm buyback program.

"Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47,” the former lawmaker said.

New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, who describes himself as the only senator “who goes home to a low-income inner-city community,” in an impassioned monologue vowed to “bring a fight to the NRA and corporate gun lobby like they have never seen before." After a tussle between former Vice President Joe Biden and California Sen. Kamala Harris on the constitutionality of firearm control executive orders, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren called for the abolition of the Senate filibuster, arguing action will continue to be stymied unless the procedural rule is rolled back.

The chances that there are NRA members in the neighborhood Booker is talking about is remote.  Their scheme is to disarm the innocent and ignore the criminally insane responsible for these mass murder attacks.

The candidates were all silent on the plans they exposed on the CNN climate change Town Hall which would kill the jobs of millions of Texans in the oil and gas business and in the ranching business.  It was a declaration of war on the Texas economy should make it harder for them to turn the state blue so they ignored the subject.  ABC also ignored the timely subject and did not press them on their war against the Texas economy.
