Most TTAG readers seemingly know U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, as a vehemently anti-gun lawmaker who is known for her nonsensical feedback and enormously inflated sense of self-importance. That extraordinarily excessive degree of conceit has led Crockett to run for the state Senate within the Lone Star State, the place the vast majority of voters have little persistence for idiots or gun-grabbers.
Now, simply months earlier than the Senate election, the Nationwide Taking pictures Sports activities Basis is declaring Rep. Crockett’s hypocrisy on firearms, together with the extraordinarily exorbitant sum of money she spends on her private armed safety.
In keeping with a information report by David Keane of the Nationwide Taking pictures Sports activities Basis (NSSF), Rep. Crockett has some severe explaining to do to the Texans she’s hoping to offer her a promotion about a problem that’s all the time entrance and heart in Texas—the Second Modification. As NSSF identified, Fox Information not too long ago revealed Rep. Crockett has joined a (un)distinguished and disingenuous group of anti-gun lawmakers who assist proposals that restrict the constitutional rights of law-abiding Individuals to guard themselves whereas on the similar time paying exorbitant sums to make use of non-public armed safety safety, typically sponsored by others.
An FEC report cited within the Fox Information report revealed that Rep. Crockett spent a whopping sum of cash seemingly to guard herself, whereas concurrently advocating for insurance policies that limit Texans from having the ability to do the identical.
“By far the biggest expense was non-public safety, regardless of Crockett repeatedly calling to defund the police,” the Fox Information report said. “Crockett paid near $80,000 for safety in 2025. A good portion, $30,079.34, of these safety prices got here within the remaining quarter of 2025.”
That hypocrisy didn’t sit nicely with Keane and the NSSF.
“In different phrases, Rep. Crockett—whereas perennially campaigning to remove Texans’ Second Modification rights and defund regulation enforcement—spent 30 % extra than the median yearly wage in Texas ($61,400) on non-public armed safety for herself…paid for by different folks. What a deal,” Keane wrote. “Whereas that’s not almost as a lot as failed and former gun management congressional colleague U.S. Rep. Cori Bush, D-Missouri, spent on her non-public safety ($770,000), Rep. Crockett’s safety funds ought to make Texans furious.”
As Keane additional identified, one solely has to take a look at how self-proclaimed enemies of the Second Modification really feel about Rep. Crockett to see how far off she is on Second Modification points.
“She’s proudly fought to move measures to increase background checks to all gun gross sales, ban assault weapons and bump shares, shut loopholes that permit harmful folks to entry firearms, strengthen secure storage measures, and deal with gun trafficking—all whereas additionally respecting the rights of accountable gun homeowners,” the gun-ban group Giffords bragged on its web site. “Now greater than ever, Texans deserve a champion who will all the time stand as much as the corruption of the gun foyer and put their security first.”
In the end, Keane believes Texans will see Rep. Crockett for what she actually is in the case of gun rights and armed self-defense.
“It’s a story as outdated as time for gun management activists. ‘A champion’ for Texans who ‘places their security first,’” Keane concluded. “What they actually imply is somebody who will take away Texans’ rights, all whereas spending considerably greater than the everyday Texan makes in a single 12 months to pay for sponsored non-public armed safety for themselves.
“Texans are smarter than Rep. Crockett makes them out to be. They’ll vote that means in November this 12 months.”
