Democrats' Wendy Davis Wants To Restrict Texans' Gun Rights
And...there go her chances
Despite the risks, Davis, known for waging sometimes lonely political battles, has not been afraid to pick a fight over guns — in particular over gun shows.
As a member of the Fort Worth City Council, Davis tried to impose restrictions on guns shows held at municipal facilities. She wanted to ensure that people were buying from licensed dealers or otherwise faced background checks….
"I haven't pursued it as a senator because I know it's like spitting in the wind," she said. "But I still believe it's the right thing. And if I were governor and a bill came to my desk that provided for background checks at gun shows, I would sign that."
