My point is that other states can pass "sweeping" new gun laws but Texas cannot, you can read into it all you want but my point was simple to understand. You're comparing high visibility issues with sweeping which is very different. Because 1 state tweeks a law that makes it OK to carry o...

If this is so important to him, why didn't he push this in 2011 or 2009? Why did he leave the state during the last SS instead of personally drumming up support for the bill? Perry is good at giving lip service and signing his name, but he lacks the leadership needed to rally support. Texas needs b...

I find it odd that there are still people that seem to be on deck to launch a recall campaign over gun rights bills. The Governor is the Governor of the entire state of Texas, not just the fraction of 1% of Texans that have CHL's that these bills would effect. Sure, to us they're critical and in th...

Should be a great time to get some of "our" bills done quietly while the screaming banshees are still causing a media spectacle.

Ok, so 15 years in Texas is a default Historian without actually learning history or history of law. :smilelol5: Someone that's been here for 6 months could have taken the time to learn Texas history and understand rather than digging through YouTube for videos of people who've never been here and n...

Historically Texas was a Democratic state. It was a Democratic state in my lifetime and will be so again. Historically the Second Amendment was not the purview of a specific party. None of the Bill of Rights were. To reduce it to a party specific concept makes it vulnerable. Texas Democrats of past...

I'm from Iowa too and the small part about Texas in the video is true and he does know what he's talking about... we do not have open carry in Texas That's true, but a very simplified comment. He, and it seems others, don't understand why. If you don't know how you got somewhere, it's going to take...

IMHO, Perry needs to put up or shut up. I don't want him giving speeches about how pro 2A he is, if he can't even support what he says he believes in. No one is proposing that he unilaterally declares abolishes 46.03 and 46.035 an allow CHL'ers to carry everywhere, even if he could. All we want is ...

A fair weather friend. That sums it up nicely. No, it really doesn't. All these comments seem to be coming from frustration about a few of the bigger/more controversial bills and ignoring all the bills that have passed. The Governor has a machine to work within. If he could simply add and pass them...

For the people who are posting, this guys not from Texas etc etc. Of course, that was the point of me posting this. I'm from Iowa, like my other post stated. I think it is CRAZY, that Texas doesn't have open carry and Iowa does. I actually believe though, had it really been put to a vote, it would ...

For anyone like me that's been ignoring this thread, the decides "why not?" and started to watch the video.....don't bother. It's 7 minutes of life you'll never get back. 5+ on a rambling video So what you're saying is it's a youtube video? I might be missing your point, or I'm tired, if ...

I received this email from the TSRA today so they are reporting the same thing as the NRA. Time to make some more calls, emails, etc. It really tics me that the special session can get this passed where the regular session keeps it stymied and yet the Governor isn't putting it on: Campus Carry Will...

That being said, if there is a suitably conservative challenger who will move some of these gun bills, he or she would have my support. No politician should feel too comfortable in office. Just think Edward Kennedy. There are enough 2A advocates and activists in this state that we could turn an ele...

For anyone like me that's been ignoring this thread, the decides "why not?" and started to watch the video.....don't bother. It's 7 minutes of life you'll never get back. 5+ on a rambling video by a guy thta's never been to Texas, let alone knows what he's talking about in regards to Texas...
