    | 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.

                      | "Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration...that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771 |  |  |
