NRA-ILA – 11/10/20: Although the 2021 session of the Texas Legislature convenes on January 12, gun control advocates financed by New York billionaire Michael Bloomberg and Beto “Hell Yeah, I’ll Take Your Guns” O’Rourke wasted no time in announcing their declaration of war on your Second Amendment rights in the Lone Star State. Monday was the first day for the pre-filing of bills, and more than three dozen measures attacking your rights have already been introduced!
Here are some of the highlights of what’s to come:
- House Bill 52 & House Bill 245 BANNING private firearms sales at gun shows.
- House Bill 118 BANNING private firearms transfers between certain family members and friends, requiring FFLs to process these transactions that would include federal paperwork for government approval at an undetermined fee.
- House Bill 127 BANNING long gun open carry with limited exceptions.
- House Bill 164 & House Bill 395 red flag GUN CONFISCATION legislation requiring firearms surrender without due process.
- House Bill 172 & House Bill 241 BANNING the sale or transfer and possession of commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms.
- House Bill 178 & House Bill 234 BANNING the sale or transfer and possession of standard capacity magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
- House Bill 185 MANDATING firearms to be stored in locked gun cases, safes or cabinets.
- House Bill 196 REPEALING key elements of Texas’ Castle Doctrine law, including stand your ground and no-duty-to-retreat.
- House Bill 201 REPEALING Texas’ Campus Carry law.
- House Bill 231 RAISING THE MINIMUM AGE for purchase of semi-automatic rifles and shotguns.
- House Bill 236 GUTTING the “30.06 and 30.07” signage requirements for businesses and making it easier for establishments to ban License To Carry holders from their premises.
- House Bill 238 REPEALING the state firearms preemption law and allowing local governments to restrict guns as they please.
That’s after ONE day of pre-filing. Gun owners need to send a resounding message to their state lawmakers in opposition to these gun control bills RIGHT AWAY. Please contact your State Representative and urge them to OPPOSE any and all gun control measures and feel free to list these specifically.
Leave our guns alone. Do not vote for any of these gun control rights
My first thought was this is a plot to draw attention away from the runoff elections in Georgia but may not be the case. I hope Texas stands strong and defeats all these bill’s. Let Bloomberg keep blowing millions on failed attempts.
everyone was clapping about all the assholes bailing out of california,where do you think most of them went to ,the great state of Texas! the same thing started in my home state of Pennsylvania in the 80’s,all the idiots from new jersey and new york moved in with their communist ways and before you knew what hit you,the state started going blue. good luck Texas,your going to need it! and don’t look for any help from guys like joe rogan,he moved from california for one reason,to save his money from all the crazy shit people like him voted for.
They don’t have the votes to pass that feces. I guess they were hoping for the blue wave that thank God never happened.
Biden lies that’s an understatement . If his mouth is open that’s what is coming out.
Let them waste paper and ink … The Second Amendment & Constitution STANDS!!!…. tear up their BS paper in their faces like that bitch pelosi did to our Prez Trump !!!!
“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops.”
– Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, October 10, 1787
The only new gun law that should be passed is not being discussed. If the taxpayer is going to be restricted then the government agencys should be too. If I can’t carry a gun for personal defense as a law abiding citizen then everybody from the county constable up to the secret service should be disarmed too.
Jared – “should be disarmed FIRST” – there FIFY.
What BS ! They ARE looking for a fight !
The liberals have declared war on our second amendment rights and America. There is no doubt in my mind that the liberals will use any and all unjust means to take our rights away. They call for peace yet have declared war. Don’t be deceived by the Biden lies.
Dark – our right to defend ourselves, our families/friends/communities/Republic pre-exist the Constitution and the Second Amendment, those merely codified that right in plain, simple to understand language. Unless you are a liberal of course.
Thats what they get for allowing so many liberals from the west coast and the northeast to migrate there. They want to escape what liberalism has wrought but they bring it with them.
This is what happens when Californians are allowed to infect other states.
Not all Californians
Agreed. I’ve been to Cali, it’s a wonderful State, it’s the Lefties that make parts of it a place where no sane person wants to be.
Stop blaming the ‘State’, it’s the Lefties that are to blame. And they ARE moving elsewhere (I’m in Colorado, we’ve been ‘californicated’ too.)
