Protecting our 2A Rights - Issue 68
 
We Lie To You News! Gun Control is For Your Protection
 
 
 
 
 

Jeff's Corner

 
 
 

The Texas Senate passed "permitless carry" or Constitutional Carry for the state of Texas. Now we are a little bit closer to getting that signed into law. Governor Abbott has already said that he will sign it if it comes to his desk. There are some administrative things that have to be done because the Senate added some amendments to the House version. The bill has to go back to the House for either them to approve with the additional amendments or modify it.

What is Constitutional Carry? Constitutional Carry or "permitless carry" means a person can legally carry a concealed weapon or holstered open carry weapon without having a permit. Licensed to carry permits will still be available for people who wish to carry in other states that have reciprocity.

The Democrats didn't respond well to the vote. Jose Menendez,(D-San Antonio) said, "I hope to God that what we do today does not result in a mistake that will have horrible consequences. I urge you to oppose this bill, which I believe will do more harm than good."

The Democrats submitted 18 amendments that were all rejected by the Republicans. Some of the amendments were to require background checks on private transactions, create incentives to gun owners to promptly report stolen weapons and language to allow counties to opt out of Constitutional Carry.

Eight Republican amendments were added including enhanced criminal penalties for a felony possession of a firearm from a third degree to a second degree felony with a minimum of five years in prison. Another change stripped out language that would allow business owners to deliver a verbal or written warning telling a gun owner that firearms are not allowed on premise. Instead business owners and private property owners can just post a sign as they do today for concealed carry or open carry.

Either the House will accept all the changes that the Senate made and send it to Governor Abbott for his signature, or what is more likely, they will go into a conference committee of Senators and Representatives where they will hash out their differences. They will then need to have to present the revised bill to both houses again for another vote.

We are running out of time because the legislative session ends May 31, and they won't meet again for another two years.

3 Things to Know About Second Amendment’s Return to Supreme Court

Here are three important things to know about the high court’s latest Second Amendment case.

 
Biden Goes All in On Calls for Extreme Gun Control

President Biden dropped any pretense at “moderation” in his first address to a joint session of Congress since assuming the presidency. However much he tried to pad the early parts of his speech with bland, feel-good rhetoric, his remarks on gun control demonstrate that he is radical, out of touch, ill-informed, and bent on persecuting his political enemies over prioritizing important issues of general public interest.

House Republicans urge Senate to oppose Biden ATF director nominee

Dozens of House Republicans are urging the Senate to oppose President Biden's nomination of David Chipman as director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), calling him an "enemy of the 2nd Amendment" and saying his confirmation would "jeopardize" the constitutional rights of gun owners.
