AUSTIN — Texans for Greg Abbott has released an ad exposing Hinojosa’s hostility toward the Second Amendment — a fundamental freedom enshrined in the United States Constitution.
“As a member of the Texas House, Gina called for new restrictions on law-abiding gun owners, including forcing hunters to get a license just to carry a long gun. Her stance on Texans’ right to bear arms is a direct attack on the liberties that make Texas, Texas.”
— Catherine Frazier, Texans for Greg Abbott Communications Director
- In 2017, Hinojosa authored an article for the Texas Tribune that called for, among other restrictions, a new “license to carry” for hunting rifles. (Gina Hinojosa, Texas Tribune, 11/8/17).
- In 2019, Hinojosa penned an op-ed in the Texas Tribune in which she described her unease for “Texas gun culture,” including how the “sight of someone carrying a gun still seems unnatural to me” and how Texas civilians simply never “carried a handgun for ‘self-protection’” where she was raised. (The false narrative of Texas gun culture, Gina Hinojosa, 8/19/2019).
- In 2019, Hinojosa voted against defending Texans’ right to possess a firearm to protect themselves in their homes. (86R, HB 302)
- In 2019, Hinojosa voted against legislation allowing licensed handgun carry in churches and other places of worship. (86R, SB 535)
- In 2021, Hinojosa voted against constitutional carry, the landmark legislation enshrining Texans’ right to carry handguns without a license. (87R, HB 1927)
- In 2021, Hinojosa voted against allowing travelers to store their firearms in their hotel room. (87R, SB 20)
