Bellevue, WA -(AmmoLand.com)- Reacting to reports that Everytown for Gun Safety, the group founded by anti-gun billionaire Michael Bloomberg is planning to spend millions of dollars to flip the Texas Legislature, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms warned, “The Lone Star State is not for sale, Mike.”
“He couldn’t buy his way into the White House,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “so Michael Bloomberg’s surrogates at Everytown are trying to buy the Texas Legislature in Austin. Apparently Bloomberg has forgotten how Texans love their liberty and independence, and how they will fight to protect it.”
Published reports say Everytown’s political arm will spend at least $8 million to turn the Lone Star State blue in November. Gottlieb calls that a warning signal for grassroots Second Amendment activists across the country.
“Last month,” he recalled, “CNN reported that a ‘Bloomberg-aligned’ group was targeting 13 states to register more than 100,000 young voters in an effort to win congressional and legislative seats for anti-gunners. Texas was one of those states, so this big money effort must be taken seriously.”
Other states mentioned in the voter registration scheme were Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
“The Citizens Committee is calling on all grassroots activists, not just in Texas but in every other state, to organize and fight back,” Gottlieb said. “Everytown has the backing of a billionaire, but dollars don’t vote, people do.
“Last year,” he recalled, “Michael Bloomberg spent tens of millions of dollars in a failed run for the presidency, and he never got out of the last place. His gun-control message didn’t resonate, so instead of trying to win support, his lobbying group is now trying to buy it, one state at a time.”
“It’s time to remind Bloomberg’s Everytown group that freedom and the Constitution are not for sale,” Gottlieb said.

Bloomberg, Soros, Gates, and the rest of the “Billionaire Communists” are a PLAGUE on America! They want to turn the United States of America into a communist country with people like them telling every American citizen how to live their life every day! Time to cut the rot out of American society and get rid of these son-of-a-bitches! The way to do this is to NEVER VOTE AGAIN FOR ANYONE WITH A (D) OR AN (I) BEHIND THEIR NAME!!!
With the population that has taken over Mexico, I mean Texas, I’ll bet it is. These people supposedly flee a corrupt government and drug gangs only to come here and bring drug gangs with them and vote for what, more corrupt politicians. Go figure.
Boobburg can keep his ass out of Florida too. Not interested in his foolishness down here.
Texas has been a solid red state for a long time but Austin (Texas’ version of San Francisco) has been blue for decades and is only getting bluer (more blue?). Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and El Paso are at present purple and getting more blue every day. Liberals are moving to Texas from states that are blue and already screwed up, or from red states where they couldn’t change them, with a mission to turn Texas blue. Other red states are seeing the same thing happening but to a lesser extent. I don’t blame the illegals as much for this… Read more »
First off, I deplore the comments of the three morons preceding me. This forum belongs to persons interested in gun issues who are more respectable. As for Texas and some other states being in the crosshairs of well funded anti-gun activism, we see here why immigration is a critical issue in this country. We have seen, during the last forty years, a concerted effort by leftists, who have become the nucleus of the Democratic Party, succeed in flipping such red states as New Jersey, California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Mexico and some others, into blue states. How? Through immigration. I am… Read more »
