Good article discussing the Abbott's proposal. We need to get active to stop the worse parts of the proposal like "red flag" laws and additional storage restrictions.

There will be a public hearing in Austin on June 25th.

The committee will hear public testimony on the recently issued interim charges:

Review the applicable portions of the state's penal laws and make legislative recommendations regarding whether existing protective order laws are sufficient or could be amended to include 'red flag' or mental health protective orders or whether 'red flag' or mental health protective orders should be independently created to allow law enforcement, a family member, a school employee, or a district attorney to file a petition seeking removal of firearms from a potentially dangerous person and providing for mental health treatment for the potentially dangerous person, while preserving the fundamental rights of the Second Amendment and ensuring due process.

Examine current statutes designed to protect minors from accessing firearms without proper supervision and make recommendations to ensure responsible and safe firearm storage, including enhancing the penalty to a felony when unauthorized access results in death or bodily injury.

Please get the word out on this to anyone you think is able and willing to attend.
