Wendy Davis on Gun Rights

Davis Takes Friendly Fire on Gun Issue

This article is from The Texas Tribune and it involves Wendy Davis' new stance on gun laws. She has previously been against the American citizen's rights to own/carry firearms, but just a few days ago she stated that she supports open-carry of handguns. Open-carry would mean that someone could have a handgun on a holster where it can be seen. Currently the only way citizens can carry a handgun legally is by having a Concealed Handgun License and carrying it where it cannot be seen. This article shows that she is taking the side of her opposition, likely to earn votes from conservatives. While she may be trying to get more votes from conservatives, she is taking heat from other Democrats who strongly oppose open-carry legislation. This is an interesting article because we are in an election year and we are already seeing candidates working on swing voters. I find it funny that someone as liberal as Wendy Davis "supports" expanding our right to bear arms, especially after voting for legislation that would limit our second amendment rights. Sounds like a politician being a politician (lying to get votes) to me. This article should be read so you can see that when Wendy Davis picks a side, she sticks with it until the end.
