Already with this bs.

Good luck making it through the Senate, assholes.

They cannot help but prove their stereotypes correct …

Texas Democrats are filing a FLOOD of proposed bills that would TAKE AWAY gun rights for Americans.

Here's what's been filed so far:

HB 218 (Johnson): would create extreme-risk protective orders, including temporary orders issued without notice. A family or household member or a peace officer could apply if they allege the person has a serious mental illness and poses an immediate danger because of access to firearms. The person would have to turn over their guns within 24 hours; a full order would last up to a year and could be renewed. Possessing a gun in violation would be a Class A misdemeanor.

HB 173 (Moody): would make it a state jail felony to transfer a semiautomatic rifle that takes a detachable magazine and is larger than .22 caliber to anyone under 21, with exceptions for peace officers, current or honorably discharged military, and some temporary loans at a range or hunt.

HB 576 (Lalani): would bar registered sex offenders from buying a firearm, but only for registration based on an offense committed on or after Sept. 1, 2027.

HB 103 (Martinez): would expand the state crime of reckless discharge of a firearm so it also covers counties of 500,000 or more people, not just cities of 100,000 or more.

SB 80 (Zaffirini): would prohibit certain transfers, purchases, and possession of assault weapons and would create criminal offenses.

HB 606 (Lalani): would prohibit transferring firearms to, or the purchase or possession of firearms by, people under 21, and would create a criminal offense.

HB 610 (Lalani): would prohibit transferring firearms to certain recipients under 21.

HB 857 (Anchía): would prohibit transferring certain semiautomatic rifles to certain recipients under 21, and would create a criminal offense and increase a penalty.

HB 771 (Sethi): would prohibit transferring certain semiautomatic rifles to certain recipients, and would create a criminal offense and increase a penalty.

HB 806 (Reynolds): would prohibit transferring semiautomatic rifles to certain recipients and would increase a criminal penalty.

HB 613 (Lalani): would require a national instant criminal background check on private firearm transfers and would create a criminal offense.

HB 612 (Lalani): would prohibit a sex offender from possessing a firearm. (prob the only reasonable one)

HB 609 (Lalani): would increase the criminal penalty for making a firearm accessible to a child.

HB 658 (Moody): would change the prosecution and punishment of making a firearm accessible to a child and would increase a criminal penalty.

HB 618 (Moody): would restrict transferring firearm magazines to people who are prohibited from possessing the type of firearm the magazine is made for, and would create a criminal offense.

HB 659 (Moody): would require licensed firearms dealers to report certain sales or transfers of multiple firearms or magazines to law enforcement, and would create a criminal offense.

HB 660 (Moody): would require certain people already prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm to dispose of firearms they own, possess, or control.

HB 712 (Gámez): would address a city or county's authority to regulate or prohibit carrying a firearm in certain libraries.

HB 776 (Sethi): would address expulsion-related offenses involving possessing, carrying, exhibiting, or using a firearm on or within 1,000 feet of school property.

HB 859 (Anchía): would increase the criminal penalty for discharging a firearm in certain municipalities.

Oh great. Well the dems are responsible for all the leading gun sales in the past due to panic buying.

I am at the point in my life where I need to liquidate my gun collection. With the rep in office there have been no mass panic gun sales in recent years. Along with flat gun prices.
I am ready to cash out. Thanks dems.

I just saw a news article today, the incoming TX Gov plans to freeze electricity rates within the 1st hour of being sworn in. The idea is purportedly affordability.

We’ll see where that goes. So simple, why didn’t anyone think of doing so before? Just like with most energy, they make everything more expensive, then wonder why prices go up.

I fear the same thing as coming here in Pennsylvania. With both houses and the governor, I think we are headed for some gun legislation as well.

They will try but any red district dem will pay for it in the next election cycle…

Just watched this video and bam, already in the Forum. We got permit to purchase in Colorado and the Democratic super majority is just getting started. We thought 24-25 was bad. Cookie-cutter legislation being passed out to the states by the likes of Everytown this next year is gonna be interesting after Scotus rules on ARs and AKs.

wtf did Texans think was going to happen when they voted for the leftest nut jobs or sat on their hands?

That's NOT soon enough!

Does this mean there is one fewer “free” state available for the “If you don’t like where you’re living, just move,” crowd to be able to point to as where to go?

And where are all the freedom-loving Texans going to go? Despite the results of the election, there must still be quite a few of them.

We have the 2nd Amendment for a reason.

Yep, all that firearm legislation is gonna certainly lower fuel prices… And guess what Texas, you’re gonna go through years of this nonsense. Welcome to California!

Um no, Texas ain’t California. Not even close.

One day, the GDC's, who keep tossing lit matches at the pile of tinder, will ignite a conflagration they believed would illuminate their path to their utopia, but it will consume them, the water they poured out, and all the ground upon which they stand along with them all...

Bring it.

Yeah, what gets shoved under the rug by many gloating over the Texas election is that Republicans still has a good majority in the state senate (also the majority of U.S. House seats are R, we still have Ted Cruz). If the Republicans in the senate hold the line, and there is a very good chance this will happen because the spotlight/microscope WILL be on them- no new legislation from the house will pass, and not make it to the governor's desk. Same with bills to change current laws and also to repeal/eliminate laws. Dems not only want to go after TX pro-gun laws, but repeal the abortion laws, various election laws, etc. The new governor stated she wants to go after all of the laws from Abbott's 12 years.

The first test is if a stalemate can happen for the next two years. If we pass that test, then 2028 will be the next big test- retain the majority in the senate, take back the state house, and have TX go to the Republican candidate for POTUS. We still have chance at getting back on course.

And Q is right, having lived in both, Texas ain't California by a long shot.

Not yet, but is heading there. Yeah, have had majority in houses. But enough repubs vote with the dems. Been a problem in tx for some time.
Have seen this talked about on national news broadcasts for years.

Honestly I think guys like Abbot, Cruz, Roy, etc. Are the problem. These guys need flushed.

Forming an opinion based on national news broadcast is hazardous. To paraphrase the famous quote, "Those who don't read the news are uninformed, and those who do read the news are misinformed."

I'm a Texas resident and follow politics pretty closely which is easy to do as it's one 140-day legislative session every 2 years which can be extended or special sessions called. The ONLY example I can think of where Republicans sided with Demonrats is on the impeachment of Ken Paxton. I'm open to hearing other examples that I may have forgotten. As far as Paxton, as we saw last week he's a one-off case and not liked by a large swath of Republicans as he shed 500k-700k votes in comparison to Gov, Lt. Gov, AG, etc. plus there were over 120k people who voted for those offices but couldn't hold their nose and even cast a vote for US Senator (I'm not one of them).

We've been toying with the idea of having a 2nd home in Texas, but have now scratched the idea. We have a lot of friends and family there, and someday in the future our health might require living below 7000 ft and a warmer climate.

Whether or not Texas goes full lefty retard, we don't want to live where there's a constant battle with half the population that abhors freedom. We're honestly already tired of being a minority in our county here, the most leftist Dem county in Utah, and that has the wife regularly shopping for somewhere to relocate.
