Jasmine Crockett, the firebrand Democratic Congresswoman from Texas, is catching heat for what her latest FEC disclosures reveal: a hefty stack of campaign cash from gun control outfits like Everytown for Gun Safety, all while she rails against the very tools that keep her constituents safe. It’s the kind of Texas-sized hypocrisy that would make even a longhorn blush. On one hand, Crockett’s pushing legislation to hamstring law enforcement—think her support for defunding the police and restricting qualified immunity, which ties officers’ hands in high-stakes confrontations. On the other, she’s all in on curtailing Second Amendment rights for everyday Texans, advocating for assault weapons bans and red flag laws that disarm law-abiders before due process. But those FEC filings? They show Everytown and its affiliates funneling thousands into her war chest, bankrolling her anti-gun crusade. Crockett wants it both ways: kneecapping trained pros who protect us, then leaving the rest of us defenseless.
Dig deeper, and this isn’t just political theater—it’s a masterclass in elite disconnect. Crockett’s district in Dallas-Fort Worth isn’t some ivory tower; it’s ground zero for urban crime waves where armed self-defense saves lives daily. FBI stats show Texas concealed carry holders are among the most law-abiding demographics, with defensive gun uses outpacing criminal misuse by orders of magnitude (hello, 500,000+ DGUs annually per CDC estimates). Yet her donors at Everytown peddle the myth of gun violence epidemics to justify disarming everyone but the state. The irony peaks when you consider her own security detail—likely packing heat—while she votes to strip that option from single moms in her district facing carjackings. This FEC revelation peels back the curtain: anti-gun pols like Crockett aren’t protecting communities; they’re protecting their funding streams, all while real Texans foot the bill in blood.
For the 2A community, this is red meat with a side of urgency. Crockett’s hypocrisy spotlights the 2024 battleground: expose these donor-driven contradictions, and we flip the script from gun lobby boogeymen to elite grifters. Rally around transparency tools like OpenSecrets.org to track every dime, then hit the midterms hard in purple districts like hers. If law enforcement can’t be trusted with tools to fight back, and neither can you, who’s left holding the bag? The implications are clear—double down on pro-2A candidates who walk the walk, or watch more Crockett clones rewrite shall not be infringed as shall not be funded. Time to saddle up, patriots.
