Andrew White hits Texas Gov. Greg Abbott as being too timid to defy NRA, pass gun measures

AUSTIN — Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Andrew White on Monday lambasted Gov. Greg Abbott for being afraid of the National Rifle Association.

White said Abbott, the Republican incumbent, needs to call a special session to promote "common sense gun-safety legislation."

Clearly eager to tap into anger generated by this month's massacre at a high school in Parkland, Fla., White also endorsed universal background checks and raising the age to purchase a rifle to 21, from 18.

White said he enjoys hunting, owns rifles and shotguns and supports the Second Amendment. But he cast Abbott and the GOP-controlled Legislature as too scared of the NRA to take steps he said would promote public safety without unduly curtailing Texans' gun rights.
