I got a text from Rick Perry about this and maybe some of you did too.
He talks about the “Firearms Freedom Act” with Texas and South Carolina joining for a telephone call on May 14th. That's today! And they will be on the Glenn Beck show as well today.
Website:
At TEA Parties across the country, hundreds of thousands of citizens declared that our taxes are too high, our federal government is too big, and our states' rights are being trampled upon. Out of respect for that great movement, we want to be sure to do our part. Join a free telephone call with Governors Mark Sanford of South Carolina and Rick Perry of Texas to collaborate on our plan to fight for freedom and win America back.

H.B. No. 1863 is making it's way through Texas House of Representatives and it say about the same thing Montana just passed.
Sec. 2003.003. NOT SUBJECT TO FEDERAL REGULATION. (a) A firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition that is manufactured in this state and remains in this state is not subject to federal law or federal regulation, including registration, under the authority of the United States Congress to regulate interstate commerce.

Is this our chance to win back some of our rights? I'll be watching today to see if Obama is going to allow the states to rebel.

OK, so what brand of guns are available that are actually made in Texas?

If they pass it, they will come...

You can bet on that. Right now I think the only ones manufactured here are STI handguns.

Correct me if I'm wrong, just clarifying here, but this would make Title 2 Items made in Texas, no longer Title 2 items, so long as they remain in Texas?
Basically throwing the NFA out the window, since it's Federal Regulation?

So no more Tax stamp for purchasing suppressors, automatics, etc?

In a word: Awesome.

Sounds like this might help cut down on crime even further that
what was accomplished by the passing of CHL back in '95, reckon

Seems like the criminal minded would really start thinking
twice knowing that more people than ever are armed

Homemade silencers FTW!

Why would a silencer be needed?
Just curious what applications would call for that

Reduce noise and possible hearing loss, increase gun accuracy, reduce gun recoil, etc.

Hearing loss prvention...that's a good reason, especially if you like
to do alot of target practice and you want to further protect your
hearing over and above what those ear muffs provide
