Sent a similar message myself this morning.The email I sent over...Had to keep it PG..
"Mr Hunter,
Please explain to me why HB2756 did not make it to the floor for a vote. As a registered voter, and tax payer, I expected this bill to hit the floor for a vote. I am tired of having my constitutional rights violated, and by not allowing this bill to go to the floor for a vote you have allowed that violation to continue. The voters of this state will remember this when it comes time to cast our vote for those that should be representing us and our rights! "
There is a chance it will be added as an amendment on another bill.Texas Legislature Online - 82(R) History for HB 2756 hasnt been updated yet. Is there a chance that it didnt die?
I had a feeling the lateness of this bill was going to kill it. Lavender should have known this as well, even if he is a first timer. He just got a lesson in how to make it appear that he supports something and how to kill it at the same time. Maybe he was sincere in this endeavor, maybe he was led astray by some one, maybe it was his intention all along. No way to tell. I lean toward the first. All I know is that I'm tired of fighting these boneheads.
This bill is DEAD, no other way to put it. Maybe I'm looking at the glass as half empty, but I call it like I see it. Open carry in Texas is as it was when I was a young man trying to get something done on this issue, too controversial to be handled by the likes of what we have in Austin. This will be a matter for the courts to decide. Give it up guys, this is not going to be handled by the legislature. Not now, not in 2 years. Not until the all mighty and all knowing nra and tsra get on board. We have cowards in Austin, and always will.
I'm moving to Arizona. At least the folks over there have a respect for the rights of the citizens, well, mostly anyway, and a durned sight more than the hacks in Austin. I never thought I would see the day that I would gladly leave my beloved Texas, I was born here and hoped to die here, but alas I will not.
This is exactly why I love (for the moment) this federation so much. If I don't like it somewhere, I can depart for greener pastures of another state. Well, at least I can for now. There will come a day when the feds will rule all, and it will not matter what state you are in, all the laws will be the same.
My words will no longer grace the pages of OCDO, LSCDL, TGT, or any other gun rights group. I'm retiring the 28th and want to relax and not worry about such things. I hope some day that the members of the nra and tsra (not capitalized intentionally) will see the light and they become a mere memory. Remember this, the nra helped write the GCA '68, and it is almost verbatum, Hitlers little gun control act. A little more light for some who didn't know this fact. Enjoy your nra and tsra membership guys and gals.
With a tear in my eye I say,
Adios, my Texas,
I put you behind me
