I get your point but I hope it doesn't resort to that.<br /><br />I heard a good discussion on guns this weekend and their solution was to take the politcs out of it. The more Congress or the media pushes for legislation ,the more it makes the opponents trek to the right like Texas and other GOP controlled states are doing right now. <br /><br />Think about it...If Gov. Perry would have brought back a locksmith busines and six employees from California,it would only make a mention in the Shiner Monthly but it was more of in-your-face move than anything elese. <br /><br />The Brandy bill came about because Reagan was shot but even then it took seven years. <br /><br />The only way to to counter is through the ballot box at the local,state,and Federal level.

No defense. Maybe they would think twice about firing their guns. <br />Edith Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06623443279337364086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-19411715596411104942013-05-06T13:48:50.025-05:002013-05-06T13:48:50.025-05:00You makes proud to be a Texan...Vying at the botto...You makes proud to be a Texan...Vying at the bottom on health care and education but number one in GUNS:<br /><br />Texas lawmakers introduced about twice as many gun bills this session as last year, generally in response to the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. The state’s already forgiving gun laws will become even more permissive if even a handful of these bills become law. See a sample below:<br /><br />No federal gun laws apply to the state. In a blatantly unconstitutional move, the House approved Rep. Steve Toth’s (R) proposal to exempt the state from any future federal laws to ban or restrict assault weapons or magazines. Federal law enforcement officers would be punished with up to 5 years in prison and a $50,000 fine if they tried to enforce these bans.<br /><br />Guns in classrooms. Even after recent shootings at Lone Star College and near Texas A&M University, one of the newly passed bills now opens college classrooms to concealed weapons. Schools will be allowed to opt out if they choose. Separately, the Texas Senate approved a measure allowing college students to keep their guns in their cars on campus.<br /><br />Armed marshals in schools. Public elementary, middle and high schools would select employees with concealed weapons permits to receive firearms training. These marshals would be granted access to guns in emergency situations.<br /><br />Relaxed requirements to obtain concealed carry permits. The House reduced the number of training hours to get a concealed weapon permit by half, and allow individuals to renew permits online. Another bill passed would lower the handgun license fee for police, veterans, national and state Guard, and some Criminal Justice Department employees. The lost fees will cost the state up to $2 million.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-57116139764360433192013-05-06T13:45:14.973-05:002013-05-06T13:45:14.973-05:00The National Rifle Association has asked a vendor ...The National Rifle Association has asked a vendor at its convention to remove a target that resembles Obama from its booth, a worker told BuzzFeed.<br /><br />The company, Zombie Industries, sells a range of three-dimensional "life sized" targets that "bleed when you shoot them."
