Dozens of bills aimed at keeping Texas the most gun-obsessed state in the nation are making their way through the legislative process. Among more than 75 gun-related bills filed in the House and nearly 30 in the Senate are a few, a very few, designed to safeguard Texans without infringing on their Second Amendment rights.
The most egregious pro-gun bill is House Bill 375 sponsored by state Rep. Jonathan Stickland, R-Bedford. It would allow Texans to carry firearms either concealed or openly without a permit and without any kind of safety training. Called Constitutional Carry, the bill is the Lone Star version of a state-by-state National Rifle Association crusade to strip away any restrictions whatsoever on gun ownership and usage. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
