Tyler, Texas — State Representative Matt Schaefer has a message for the gun-grabbing left in the wake of recent mass shootings.
Rep. Schaefer took to Twitter to lambast all forms of gun control, condemning legislative proposals such as Red Flags, elimination of private sales, magazine bans, and AR-15 bans/buybacks.
The left has wasted no time in viciously attacking Rep. Schaefer, sending tweets at him laced with threats and insults.
Rep. Schaefer recommended a multitude of positive outlets for change, such as prayer, stabilized homes, childhood discipline, and public school support.
Most importantly, Rep. Matt Schaefer recognized the importance of every law abiding citizen’s right to carry a firearm without permission of the State.

I am NOT going to use the evil acts of a handful of people to diminish the God-given rights of my fellow Texans. Period. None of these so-called gun-control solutions will work to stop a person with evil intent. 2/6

I say NO to “red flag” pre-crime laws. NO to universal background checks. NO to bans on AR-15s, or high capacity magazines. NO to mandatory gun buybacks. 3/6

What can we do? YES to praying for victims. YES to praying for protection. YES to praying that God would transform the hearts of people with evil intent. YES to fathers not leaving their wives and children. YES to discipline in the homes. 4/6

YES to supporting our public schools. YES to giving every law-abiding single mom the right to carry a handgun to protect her and her kids without permission from the state, and the same for all other law-abiding Texans of age. 5/6
