Permitless carry is opposed by a majority of Texans - Beto for Texas



The only thing that Abbott has done in response to repeated mass shootings is make it easier to carry a loaded gun in public without any background check, training, or permit.

We will defeat him, pass commonsense solutions to reduce gun violence, and keep our kids safe.

He’s taking it easy n as we have said..we worry about him w/ all the people in small towns n little spaces w/o masks. Now, he’s got something I hope it’s a 24 hour bug or the like..he’s got momentum going but he’s gotta get n keep healthy. I almost feel like his mother..eat right..lots of fluids..wash your hands😱

Soon. He has certainly been pushing himself like no other candidate, he needs to take some time to get well.

I don’t wanna have any detours or walls up to slow this blue wave down.

From what we've seen, he hasn't even been doing his job, working to help the people.

Great candidate and campaigner with solid ideas and proposals, unlike Abbot who is merely spinning his wheels and whose policies do not have a leg to stand on.

He is the best chance to turn things around for the people of Texas - and will definitely have an impact for the rest of the country! Abbott's got nothing and his policies have done nothing but harm for the people, all anyone has to do is look at his record.

Went through the pictures of our graduating class while pointing to particular ones and asking "Do you think this person should be carrying a gun?"

Amazing how many people he agreed should never be near a firearm in any circumstance.

I took it as a win for my argument.
