Democrats filed a barrage of gun control bills for the upcoming legislative session in Texas. Each bill attacks the constitutionally granted rights from various angles. From the "assault weapons" ban to the universal background checks and the red flag laws, each bill intends to undermine the self-defense capabilities of Texans.
However, a very worrying piece of legislation was introduced by Irving State Representative Terry Meza. HB 196 seeks to repeal the Castle Doctrine, preventing a homeowner from using firearms to defend their property.
She believes that homeowners are too eager to pull the trigger when facing armed home invaders.
"I'm not condoning stealing, it is against the law," Meza says, "but it's not an offense that is punishable by death."
~~~SNIP~~~
She clarified that homeowners would still be allowed to defend their lives, but not using firearms. Using a firearm to fight an intruder would lead to legal problems for the victim.
If Meza's bill becomes law, homeowners will be required to retreat from their homes when a criminal invades. They will be required to make sure the criminal is not hurt or face charges for defending themselves.

“I’m not condoning stealing, it is against the law that applies to Republicans Only,” Meza told her party . . .
Absolutely crazy. Makes me want to buy an industrial wood-chipper.
1. None of these bills will go anywhere - but all TX voters should contact their representatives in both houses to register your displeasure.
2. WRT the bill in question, if someone is willing to break into a home that he knows is occupied in the middle of the night, then he knows that those there may resist...and he comes equipped for that, physically and emotionally. IOW, such a person has ALREADY made up their mind to hurt or kill one or more of the occupants of the home that their robbing. That makes such a person incredibly dangerous...so, yes, they DO deserve to get shot (and if they die, THEY are at fault for knowingly violating the law in such a fashion.
Should we be required to put out a tray of cookies and some nice cold milk for the invaders, Representative Meza?
Just wondering if the would be robbers are allowed to use a fire arm in their pursuit of happiness?
Anyone have her Home Address?
Might be time to put it on Craigslist.
Free stuff, come on in and help yourself.
She should shoot her Dentist, her Hairdresser and whoever sells her Makeup.
So, if you live in a high crime area, how about an alligator pit?
How do they get elected? They’re chameleons. They say what is politically expedient at the time, while keeping their true motives hidden.
...and...AND... The doctor that performed the gender reassignment surgery on him
From your post 46, what laws are those?
Talk. This will never go anywhere in TX. If it did, the price that the ComDens would pay,:will be talked
about for 5000 years. After the blood in the street dries.
Perhaps these are the CA transplants.
It’s a man, baby.
she needs to be run out on rails
not kidding
“have a big backyard, most thieves won’t really be missed if they suddenly disappear, “
Chainsaw, wood chipper and a 55gal drum of strong acid. /s. I’d never do that....
i feared for my life
i neutralized the threat
anyone breaking into my home is a life threatening situation
and i dont believe anyone who is a criminal telling me they are only there to rob me
In order for this proposed law to go into effect we will need to add the following amendments.
1. It is essential to make sure that an intruder is a burglar and not someone intent on doing other bodily forms of crime. How do you know they are a thief and not a mass murderer?
2. Therefor each thief must go to the local police station or sheriffs office (if they intend to steal out of the cities) and register with law enforcement. They must also make an appointment for the time and place they intend to rob otherwise the citizens will not know that it’s only a thief. Upon registration and notification to the home owner and law enforcement, the robbers may only show up at the appointed time. Where they will be arrested and the promise will be given that no death penalty will be applied to this specific crime.
3. If a thief does not register and does not make the time and place appointment then homeowners will be free to defend their lives and may assume the thief is in fact a murderer, rapist or any other assault related criminal.
You better have eye bleach after posting a picture of that criminal. Can’t decide if it looks more like Momma Fratelli or Olga from the Dark Crystal.
