The Gun Grabbing Judge of Tarrant County Texas
As we enter this new legislative session fighting for our second amendment rights, let us not forget that often local judges are the biggest threat to our gun rights.
Tarrant County Texas is home to just such a Judge. Tarrant County's Judge James Munford has earned a reputation, statewide, as the "Gun-Grabbing Judge" of Texas.
In fact Open Carry Texas has called Judge James Munford an "anti-gun activist judge"(1) saying that Munford has "engaged in judicial activism."(2)
The Texas Gun Rights Political Action Committee has called Judge Munford "The Gun-Grabbing Judge!" saying "Judge Munford believes he can legislate from the bench to strip away law abiding citizens' gun rights." (3)
And Texas Gun Rights Executive Director Chris McNutt said that "Gun-grabbing Judge Munford’s actions only makes liberal anti-gunners salivate....To add insult to injury, Judge Munford has the gall to campaign at gun events as if he was some champion of gun rights."(4)
Judge Munford will be up for reelection in in the 2022 elections. We need to be getting prepared now to make sure that the Gun Grabbing Judge of Tarrant County, and judges like him, are "primaried" and voted out of office in 2022.
