Yeah, same problems I see with a similar bill in another state. Same with many of the sheriffs wanting to win their next elections. The federal government will threaten to cut off pork (federal funding for many programs to states), and that’ll be all she wrote.

Gov. Greg Abbott positions Texas as a ‘Second Amendment sanctuary state’

[Excerpt:]
“However the problem with the Second Amendment sanctuary is we really don’t have that much control,” Taylor said. ‘The federal government can send their own law enforcement bodies in to enforce gun laws,’ she said. ‘They also can use their purse strings to make us reverse course,’ she added. Taylor said she thinks Abbott’s positioning of the state as a sanctuary state is ‘largely symbolic’ and ‘political.’”
