I wanna know what happened to the headline on Drudge that was taken down, that said Texas would arrest any federali coming into Texas to mess with gun rights. Perry sure didn’t mention it, and I didn’t read the story because I was unsurprised by the headline, and the headline said it all, and because, finally, Texas spoke up.

Now I don’t know quite what to think about that missing story, as I have been questioned about it’s existence.

Help, anybody?

It was a proposal from a state rep, not a decision from the state government.

More direct info from the source:

TATE REPRESENTATIVE STEVE TOTH TO FILE ‘FIREARM PROTECTION ACT’
http://www.house.state.tx.us/news/member/press-releases/?id=4157&session=83&district=15&bill_code=2825

State Representative Steve Toth (The Woodlands) has begun the process to file legislation assisting the protection of the Second Amendment of the United State Constitution. The “Firearms Protection Act” bill would make any federal law banning semi-automatic firearms or limiting the size of gun magazines unenforceable within the state’s boundaries. Anyone trying to enforce a federal gun ban could face felony charges under the proposal.

“We can no longer depend on the Federal Government and this Administration to uphold a Constitution that they no longer believe in. The liberties of the People of Texas and the sovereignty of our State are too important to just let the Federal Government take them away. The overreach of the federal administrations executive orders that are do not align with the Constitution, are not very popular here in Texas,” said Representative Toth.

Along with Wyoming, Texas will lead the country in continuing to stand for the sovereignty to run Texas as Texans see fit while exercising the Bill of Rights Amendments 2 & 10 to “prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers… [to] extending the ground of public confidence in the Government.” Along with Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, who has already filed over twenty-three suits against the Federal Government, Representative Toth will continue to stand with other Texans to encouraging the promotion of personal responsibility and liberties while actively guarding against outside parties attempting to erode the freedoms enjoyed by Texans so that the people of Texas may have more confidence in their government.
For more information contact, Amy Lane, Chief of Staff at 512.463.0797.

Steve Toth is the newly elected State Representative for District 15, which includes The Woodlands, Shenandoah, Imperial Oaks, Oak Ridge North and Benders Landing along with some of the surrounding areas. He lives and works in District 15 and is establishing a House District 15 Office in Alden Bridge near the corner of Research Forest and Kuykendahl that he hopes to open by February of this coming year.
