This bill has just been introduced, but it certainly would be nice to see it enacted. It appears that Texas is considering following the lead of Montana here.

I'll move my Type 07/C2 SOT to TX and start cranking out DIAS for AR-15s for when all the John Galt's go "Henry Bowman".

OTOH....Texas may have to build a wall ON THEIR NORTHERN BORDER!

Admirable, but the Constitutional view expressed in the bill has not been accepted by the Supereme Court since Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 (1942).

This bill was introduced on 2/26/09 and assigned to the Public Safety committeed on 3/4/09 with public hearings held on 4/27/09 and reported out of committee on 5/01/09. Hopefully it will get taken up by the full House and then on to the Senate. The bill has eight authors/co-authors . The Legislature ends on June 1, 09. The Legislators have been busy this session filing some 7,154 bills about 1000 more than last session. Usually somewhere around 25% make it through the process.

Sure like to see some ammo and gun dealers move their manufacturing facilities out here. they will be met with open arms and not the subject of constant harassment and lawsuits like other states deal ‘em.

(4) a firearm that discharges two or more projectiles with one activation of the trigger or other firing device.

Needs to be fixed. Shotguns would not be covered.

Again, full auto is specifically excluded from such legislation.
The bill is great and I hope it passes; I just keep wondering what’s not being told about the third-rail attitude toward MGs.

Texans, Montanans, and supporters of the Second Amendment... Please take a look at this company's business model - K&D Ordnance in Dillon, Montana.

They make blank receivers that are 60% completed which allows you to finish the work yourself and avoid all paperwork, so long as only you own the firearm that you made yourself.

I see bills like this at the state level functioning as sort of a "shot across the bow" of the FedGov, as that leviathan seeks ever more to encroach on the rights of states and individuals alike. A good thing.

BTW, pings will be intermittent over the rest of the week; I'm heading to L.A. on business.

Good for Texas; I wonder how Alaska’s efforts to emulate Montana in this area are going?
