Campus Carry Dies in Senate

[San Antone RR]

It would seem that Campus Carry didn't have the votes to go for full consideration in the Senate and was tacked on as an amendment to another bill.
The sponsor of the original bill pulled the entire bill.
Damn. Hope it gets revived somehow.

I don't think it's dead yet.

Hope not.

 

[MR Redneck]

We still have a house bill.
dout it'll be considered by them either.
The Senate needs some people voted OUT!

 

[Clockwork]

Those cockbites.

 

[MR Redneck]

As much as people deserve the right to carry on campus, im sorry to say this type of bill approach will never get it for them as long as people like Lucio and Ellis are in office.
The Senate democrats are really making Democrats of themselves with this one.

AMEN ! I would be 100% behind a vote to push the ENTIRE gov't ( state and Fed ) out of office and send the lobbyist back home with'em. Then put REAL people who give a damn about the Future of this country into office.

Jeff Wentworth has been working his ass off to get several pro-gun bills passed and I don't think this blanket statement is very fair to him.

I agree with that comment mostly because I have visited with a LOT of Texas elected officials. We have some good people representing us, we just have to get rid of the bad one's.
If Insurance is what conserns the Democrats, how about lawsuits against schools that fail to keep violance off campus! What about the crime people suffer?
If a school wont allow campus carry, They Should Be Responsible For Everyone On The Campus!

Sad to say but MR Redneck is right. It is going to take a few very costly lawsuits or court cases to get the point across. As long as idiots like Ellis keep getting elected by the fools in his district, we just have to find ways to outwit him. They all want a handout and he keeps promising them our money in exchange for his spot at the trough.

Many firearms laws can be voided without the need of Legislature.

 

[Texan2]

sure they can....just have a court find them to be unconstitutional.

 

[MR Redneck]

sure they can....just have a court find them to be unconstitutional.

And you dont believe me?
Do I need to refer to what makes campus carry" or the lack of it" unconstitutional?

 

[Texan2]

did I say I didnt believe you? If a court finds it unconstitutional the law can be invalidated.

If YOU find it unconstitutional.....it remains law.

 

[matefrio]

Senate Bill 5 the one they are using as a tag along is one almost everyone wants passed. We may still see something out of it.

Maybe I haven't been following this closely enough as I've been busy, but I saw this on my local Yahoo! news feed.

Ha ha, Redneck for Supreme Court !!!!!

 

[Renegade]

I think it did not get much support because there are very few people who would benefit from it.

I think it was a mistake to prioritize this bill higher than Parking lot or OC.
