Texas Republican Party delegates on June 16 unanimously approved a resolution rebuking the state’s senior U.S. senator and other Republican lawmakers for working with Democrats on their gun control proposals that they say disregard the Second Amendment.

The resolution criticized U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), who led the group of GOP lawmakers to help put together a bipartisan legislative package in response to the Uvalde, Texas, mass shooting at Robb Elementary School. The other Republicans were Sens. Thom Tills (N.C.), Roy Blunt (Mo.), Bill Cassidy (La.), Susan Collins (Maine), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Rob Portman (Ohio), Mitt Romney (Utah), and Pat Toomey (Pa.).
