Safeguard the 2nd Amendment—Geren’s 25 Years of RINO Softness
The Second Amendment is a cornerstone of freedom, yet for 25 years, Charlie Geren has sat idly by as threats to our gun rights creep closer—his moderate silence in the Texas House leaves District 99 vulnerable to government overreach and anti-gun agendas. I’m Jack Reynolds, and my “More Freedoms, Less Government” platform demands an unyielding defense of our constitutional right to keep and bear arms. From Fort Worth to Azle, Tarrant County voters know Geren’s weak leadership has failed to protect this liberty—my plan strengthens it with bold, practical steps. While Geren coasts, I’ll fight to ensure every Texan’s Second Amendment rights stand tall.Campus Carry
I fully support Campus Carry—law-abiding adults over 21 with concealed handgun licenses should carry on Texas college campuses, no exceptions. Signed into law in 2015 (SB 11), it’s proven safe—zero incidents tied to license holders at UT Austin or Tarrant County College since implementation (Texas DPS, 2023). Geren’s 25 years offered no push to expand this right—he’s been a bystander while students and faculty remain defenseless against rare but real threats. I’ll champion Campus Carry’s success, extend it to more public spaces, and ensure Texans can protect themselves where Geren’s inaction leaves gaps.
Constitutional Carry
Constitutional Carry is freedom at its core—Texans shouldn’t need government permission to exercise their Second Amendment rights. Passed in 2021 (HB 1927), it lets law-abiding adults 21+ carry without a permit, and crime stats hold steady—violent crime dropped 2.5% statewide in 2022 (Texas DPS, “Crime in Texas 2022”). Geren’s decades in office never fought for this—his moderate RINO streak ducked the issue until others led. I’ll defend and expand Constitutional Carry, stripping away bureaucratic hurdles Geren let linger, because freedom doesn’t need a license.
"Gun-Free" Zones
“Gun-free” zones are danger zones—disarming law-abiding citizens invites criminals who don’t obey signs. Studies show 89% of mass shootings from 2000-2013 hit gun-free areas (Crime Prevention Research Center, 2014)—Texas saw it at Santa Fe High (2018), a gun-free school. Geren’s 25 years did nothing to roll back these traps—his silence green-lights soft targets in District 99, from malls to campuses. I’ll push to dismantle “gun-free” zones statewide, empowering Texans to defend themselves where Geren’s cowardice leaves them exposed.
"Red Flag" Laws
“Red flag” laws shred due process—seizing guns based on accusations, not convictions, violates our rights. Texas dodged this in 2019 when SB 157 failed, but Geren’s weak leadership never built a firewall against future pushes—his 25 years leave us at risk of leftist overreach. These laws let bureaucrats strip firearms without a hearing, mocking the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. I’ll fight any “red flag” nonsense, ensuring no Texan loses their Second Amendment rights without a fair trial—Geren’s spinelessness won’t cut it.
Preserving the Second Amendment means no compromise—Texas must lead with ironclad protections against federal or state erosion. Geren’s 25 years offered no bold stand—his moderate tenure let anti-gun voices grow louder while he coasted. I’ll push a “Second Amendment Sanctuary State” law—banning Texas from enforcing federal gun grabs—and shield local sheriffs from compliance. With 1.6 million concealed carry holders (Texas DPS, 2023), District 99 demands a fighter, not Geren’s quiet retreat—I’ll keep our rights untouchable.
Assault weapon bans are a farce—vague terms like “military-style” target law-abiding Texans, not crime. Rifles (including AR-15s) account for just 3% of firearm homicides (FBI, “Crime in the U.S.,” 2022)—handguns dominate, yet bans obsess over optics. Geren’s 25 years never stopped this anti-gun noise—his RINO leanings leave District 99 open to future grabs. I’ll block any ban, defending your right to own what you choose—AR-15s protect homes in Azle and Fort Worth, and Geren’s silence won’t change that.
Charlie Geren’s 25-year reign has been a betrayal of our Second Amendment rights—his moderate apathy left District 99 exposed to “gun-free” traps, “red flag” threats, and ban-happy ideologues while he twiddled his thumbs. I’m Jack Reynolds, and my plan delivers: Campus Carry expanded, Constitutional Carry defended, “gun-free” zones dismantled, “red flag” laws crushed, and assault bans stopped—all to preserve our God-given freedoms with less government meddling. Geren’s weak legacy ends here—join me at Jack4TX.org to bury his 25 years of failure and secure Texas for every law-abiding gun owner. Freedom fights back with Jack.
