#TXLEGE: Bonnen's "Select Committee on Mass Violence prevention" is a Rogue's Gallery

"Every one of the builders had his sword girded at his side as he built. And the one who sounded the trumpet was beside me."
Nehemiah 4:18

YIKES:

New: @RepDennisBonnen appoints 13 members to new House Select Committee on Mass Violence Prevention and Community Safety. Notably, @drewdarby4Tx is chair. #txlege pic.twitter.com/qHdc3QIEGL

That list...pretty much speaks for itself.

A couple of these can be justified due to geography.  Specifically, Joe Moody and Cesar Blanco are from El Paso.  So those are understandable.  Likewise, Brooks Landgraf from Odessa.

Still...Poncho?!?  Julie Johnson?!?  Disproportionate Democrat representation?!?

[sarc]We're sure Chairman Drew Darby, Charlie Geren, and Giovanni Capriglione won't sell out our rights. [/sarc]

Bottom Line: That this committee has an equal number of D's and R's despite a solid R majority tells you everything you need to know.
