Re: Abolish DST in Texas
One step at a time. The Universal Time Act allows states to opt out of DST (Arizona, parts of Indiana, to name a few), but does not allow permanent adoption of DST, only standard time. Let's get Texas off DST, onto permanent Central Standard Time, get everyone adjusted and then see if we want to lobby for permanent CDT.

Abolish DST in Texas
Not gun related, but something I think we should get behind.

Sen. Judith Zaffirini (D-Laredo) filed Senate Joint Resolution (SJR) 13, which would exempt Texas from daylight savings so that the standard time is in place year-long. I personally believe the reasons for DST are obsolete and now does nothing but upset everybody twice a year. Time to do away with it.
As a side note, we could not establish a permanent DST, we have to just go to standard time and opt out of DST to conform to the Universal Time Act.
