Excerpt from NRA-ILA email this morning...
First, no enacted legislation this session really substantively changes any gun rights in Texas. IMO, this session has been a complete failure for advancing gun rights. Why are we celebrating again?
Secondly, Pickett and Strauss did everything they could to derail the gun bills. By patting them on the back people aren't going to understand how these complete ass-hats tried to undermine the pro gun bills, and they're going to get re-elected again.
WTF NRA-ILA? Seriously?
Texas House Gives Final Approval to Impressive Number of Pro-Second Amendment Bills[FONT][/FONT]Gun owners’ patience and persistence was rewarded on Saturday and yesterday, as the Texas House of Representatives led by Speaker Joe Straus (R-San Antonio) gave approval to a wide range of pro-gun legislation while the NRA Annual Meeting was underway in Houston. Most of these bills passed overwhelmingly, in spite of repeated attempts by anti-gun members of the minority party to kill some of these measures by raising parliamentary “points of order” against them for alleged violations of House rules. Many violations are procedural in nature, involving the committee process and committee reports. Thanks to the meticulous work of House Homeland Security and Public Safety Committee Chairman Joe Pickett (D-El Paso) and his staff, none of the points were sustained, and debate and votes on the bills were allowed to proceed on the House floor.
Thank you to the hard-working sponsors of these measures and their dedicated staff for getting them passed in the state House of Representatives
