[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif]Louisiana and Missouri have led the pack. It can be done and gain momentum stronger than any other single cause.

Ummm, I think I have not a clue.

 

[txinvestigator]

Strict what?

I can google and all, but if you're gonna post something like that you ought to at least explain or link.....

Strict scrutiny is the most stringent standard of review used by U.S. courts when a law burdens constitutionally protected conduct. By requiring strict scrutiny in their constitutional provision, the people of Missouri have ensured that Missouri courts will give gun-control measures the most intensive review available and require the state to meet the highest possible threshold in justifying firearm regulation.

Here's what's going on in LA with it.

Strict scrutiny is a legal term concerning judicial review. It would not allow many laws that exist in other states to ever be passed in TX.

Strict scrutiny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And very possibly strike down a few gun laws.

I think it's what this country should have been using since day 1. But...You'll never get a left winger to vote for it.

 

[Recoil45]

SCOTUS could have fixed that in Heller or McDonald but chose not to. It's up to the states now.

 

[Vaquero]

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Give the populace a vote. I think we could get some couch sitters to vote "yes".

Wrap it up in the right marketing speak with some charismatic celebrity endorsements, and they'll vote for anything. We just need a better marketing team.

 

[Charlie]

Informed concern, yes. Tinfoil hat, not yet.

Yep, just mention women's rights, carbon credits, children, and throw in a few baby pictures of TM and MB...

Not with OCT in front of the cameras.

 

[ScorpionHunter]

I think it's a great idea. Do you know if there's anyone working on any drafts for legislation?

 

[Recoil45]

Maybe phone calls and emails to the Texas State Rifle Association would be the way to get this going.

 

[matefrio]

I'm not a huge fan of the TSRA.

 

[Recoil45]

Us as individuals will have little chance of getting momentum on this. Is there another group that has lobby power here in TX?

 

[matefrio]

I think this starts with a social media blitz and see if the NRA\TSRA want to join in after X amount of members.

As for what happens after strict scrutiny passes.

 

[TAZ]

This needs to be pushed from an avenue SEPARATE from the gun crowd. If you push this from the pov of other more mainstream "rights" like privacy, religion... that sort of thing you can sucker liberals to support it.
