HB 2744 Surprise out of Committee raises age to 21 for semi-auto rifles

I thought fed judge already killed 21 year old restriction for Texas.

I would not be overconfident on that. We are talking about politicians, after all.

My understanding of bills in the state legislature, if it passes the first committee, it gets a floor vote by 3/5 to move to another committee, and then another floor vote, etc. Then to the other branch (senate or house), rinse & repeat.

I hear the legislature has anti-gun bills introduced into committee all of the time, and they get past the first few steps. So far as the party make-up of both senate and house, I think there is little chance of this one getting past.

Why the bleep don't the Republicans force schools to teach firearms safety and self defense as a negotiating tactic in a situation like this?

I came here to post this exact thing. I could have sworn that this had been struck down.

Edit: I dug a little deeper. It was the right to carry until 21 was struck down.

I did a little research and edited my post above. It was the right to carry raised to 21 that was struck down.

If this law passed and I was 18 and had the money, I'd be looking for an AR in .17 centerfire...

Well you have a great point there.

A AR in .204 Ruger can do some pretty cool things.

Somebody gets it!

Banning gun sales to young American adults under 21 is unconstitutional, judge rules

Is it still illegal for 18-20 year olds to purchase handgun ammo?

I had a buddy's 18 yo get a Henry in .44 mag but could not get ammo a few years ago.(dad had to buy it for him)

He should tell them it's for a rifle.

It's been a long time since anyone thought I was under 21, but I recall Walmart asking about it. Probably just store policy as I know I bought handgun ammo elsewhere without showing ID.

I got ID’d for a bottle of 4 Roses a couple of weeks ago in Michigan.

I may have snarkily said “most under 21s aren’t buying $70 bottles of bourbon”
