Rep. Wesley Hunt is dropping bombshells in the Texas Senate primary race, unleashing a no-holds-barred ad that eviscerates Sen. John Cornyn’s gun control baggage like a .45 ACP through soft tissue. The spot doesn’t mince words, spotlighting Cornyn’s votes for the bipartisan gun control package after Uvalde, the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 he once cozied up to, and his push for red flag laws that could strip law-abiding Texans of their Second Amendment rights without due process. Hunt, a combat veteran and rising GOP star, positions himself as the unapologetic 2A warrior, declaring, John Cornyn sold out on guns—I’m not. It’s raw, it’s direct, and in a state where firearms are as Texan as brisket, this could light a fuse under the primary.

Context is king here: Cornyn, the Senate’s No. 2 Republican, has long played the establishment game, brokering deals with Schumer on bump stock bans and universal background checks that expanded federal overreach post-Parkland and Buffalo. Hunt’s ad flips the script, tapping into the seething frustration among 2A absolutists who see Cornyn as a squish who’s more DC cocktail party than Alamo defender. With Texas trending redder and primaries rewarding purity tests—recall Ted Cruz’s narrow escape in 2024—this isn’t just mudslinging; it’s a masterclass in weaponizing RINO-phobia. Hunt’s military cred (West Point grad, Iraq vet) amplifies the authenticity, making Cornyn’s compromises look like surrender.

For the 2A community, the implications are electric: a Hunt win would inject fresh blood into the Senate, potentially derailing future Cornyn-led capitulations and bolstering filibusters against ATF rule grabs or HR 8-style nonsense. It signals a GOP reckoning, where primary challengers can kneecap gun-grabbers with viral ads and donor cash from outfits like Gun Owners of America. If Hunt pulls it off, expect copycats nationwide—primaries as the new battleground for reclaiming the Republic from within. Texas patriots, this is your wake-up call: vote like your AR-15 depends on it.
