For your benefit I will take the time to " Educate" you how bill's are written. Bills must be made to include the entire section of the penal code. " That also helps to prevent confusion". When text is added, the draft for the bill must have the added text underlined. To remove text, you strike thru it. By including ALL of the original text and using strike thru and underlining, it help those who read the bill to clearly understand what's being changed.
Go do your homework ARTX becasue the LSCDL folks are keeping an eye out for this sort of thing. If the missing text in SB766 was just a typo im sure it will get cleared up. If we see an issue, WE WILL MAKE THE PUBLIC AWARE. You wont get an apology either. We have many dedicated Texans who contribute their time to tracking legislation.
The rest of your comments wont hold no more water than your pockets will, so you'll just have to wait for us to present the facts.

THANKS FOR NOTHIN!!

"LoneStarCDL" does not understand how bills are written and has a fear-monger agenda. It appears he wants to drum up hate for NRA/TSRA and get new converts to his organization.

If a bill is written that adds sections to statutes, as SB 766 does, the existing, unchanged language is not placed in the bill again. Rather, you only add what new or modified items that are changing in the bill.

If you want statutes removed by a bill, the bill must strikeout the text to be removed.

SB 766 does nothing of the things claimed by LoneStarCDL. The sections he says are missing are not struck. Look at the bill text yourself: http://www.legis.state.tx.us/tlodocs/82 ... 00766F.htm. You can see other areas of the bill where deletions are made. The sections c and d he refers to are not struck. Thus, they are completely unchanged.

I also do not understand how this new organization can attempt to advance any legislation at all, period, if the leaders do not understand this simple format of bills on the Texas legislature website.

Even if your not a member you can see our Special Legislation page on the members forum. If you not a member, you need to fix that problem.

I realize we have never met and this is an internet forum, and things are hard to communicate sometimes in written word only.

But coming here and saying that it is a 'problem' that forum members aren't a member of your organization is not likely to get folks to join your organization. This sets a negative tone to everyone that has never heard of your organization.

I'm a TSRA and NRA life member. I also enjoy learning about new RKBA organizations. I believe the more organizations we have that want the same goals, the more likely we are to succeed. But I'd never tell someone who is talking about the TSRA or NRA that it is a 'problem' they aren't a member of those organizations. Instead I'd tell them why I think they should be members. Just a thought. I wish you well in your quest to enhance RKBA rights in Texas.
