When someone in the government has an idea to do something, they might check laws to see if they can do it, and how they should. If there isn't a law saying they can or they can't, they'll do it anyway, in a rotten fashion. Look at HOW the arms confications happened. (ignoring the fact that they happened at ALL.)

It seems that the officials in New Orleans just grabbed guns and threw them in a room. They didn't do anything to keep any records of who they took from who, etc.

Texas might be gun friendly now. What if that changes? What if, in 5 years, the head of DPS is a gun grabber? Or, worse, what if the Governor is one?

If we pass a law to protect our rights, now, we're far better off.
We have a law now, its called the 4th ammendment to the US Constitution. If our leaders can't obey such a common precept as that, why think they will obey some state law. (I realize that the 2nd is NOT really a law, but you get the point)

Other than getting more clarification on definitions, I am not much of a supporter of more legislation; however, I am with you on this issue.

That said (the article was posted here but I can't find it) a high DPS official commented that Texans had a right to and were expected to protect themselves during emergencies.

He added that firearms would only be taken from people using them illegally.
