'Side note: With universal background checks, I wouldn't be able to let my friends borrow my handgun when they travel alone like this,' Dan Crenshaw tweeted.

Ocasio-Cortez wasn't the only one criticizing Crenshaw's post. Shannon Watts, founder of the gun control group Moms Demand Action, slammed him for not wanting"to require background checks on unlicensed gun sales because it could prevent him from loaning his handgun to traveling friends who can't pass background checks."

Crenshaw has been a staunch opponent of gun control legislation, even in the wake of several mass shootings in his home state of Texas. Crenshaw claimed that the Odessa attack was"the first mass shooting where a universal background check *possibly* would have prevented him from having a gun." But he added that"we don't make sweeping policy on one situation."

I can see if you were a first time hunter and didn’t have a suitable rifle but not in any other situation.

Ya'll leave Congressman Big Boss alone.

He is a republican, they believe they are above the law. It’s that simple.

The height of irresponsibility on that Texas guy's actions. I don't care who your friends. Friends have been friends of mass killers who say 'oh, he was so nice!'. Let's stop the stupid.

Duh, in case they want to shoot their wives

Um yeah, as she should and the rest of us!

It’s a valid question.

Just goes to show you, some people may have one moment of brilliance but you shouldn't elect them to Congress.

I think it’s awful weird I can find child predators in my neighborhood but if I wanted to know if I could lend or sell a gun to a guy I don’t have access to that database? Why not?

DanCrenshawTX cares more about lending guns illegally to his friends than children dying. This sick fuck has no business being anywhere near politics let alone guns. He’s a danger to society.

FakeNews, that was her twisted projection of the analogy by Congressman Crenshaw about red flag laws, not a fact.

I think each and every one of us should have the same concern.

Solutioneer72 Cause they’re “Texas Republicans”.

Good question. We await his reply.

Why are you using her name in this at all? There are many people who are wondering why he would loan a gun.

Because he’s crazy? If I owned a gun I damn sure wouldn’t be loaning it anybody that’s crazy talk!

He didn’t say that she did.
