Someone failed to tell Texas this:

Section XIII of the State of Texas Constitution:

Every person shall have the right to keep and bear arms, in the lawful defense of himself or the State, under such regulations as the Legislature may prescribe.

Thanks for attempting to sound like you know what you are talking about.

When Texas, a former Republic in itself, ratified the US Constitution upon entry into the Union... it made itself subject to its provisions. Including the BoR.

Just changing the wording in their State Constitution would be able to over-ride a protection for an Individual Right. Else some Southern States would still have slavery laws on the books.

Thanks for continuing to prove you haven't read the decision and prefer gun control to Individual Rights.
