"AUSTIN, Tx., November 13, 2014 – A Texas state representative has introduced a bill to thwart enforcement of virtually all federal gun control measures within the state.
Introduced by newly re-elected Representative Tim Kleinschmidt (R-Lexington), House Bill 176 (HB176) declares all federal restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms to be “invalid” and “not enforceable” within the state of Texas. It reads, in part:
A federal law, including a statute, an executive, administrative, or court order, or a rule, that infringes on a law-abiding citizen’s right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution or Section 23, Article I, Texas Constitution, is invalid and not enforceable in this state..."

Of course not.
It is DOA and stand zero chance.
Except that it doesn't say it applies only to weapons manufactured and kept in the state, so it has zero chance of surviving the court challenges. Which Kleinschmidt should know.
Didn’t Montana or some other state already try this?
Liberals (and libertarians) have been for the decriminalization of weed for a long tine. However, liberals HATE guns and you can bet Obama will send the JBTs to come down hard on anyone who take the Texas law on its face value.
Texas BUMP!
Splendid! The Right to Keep and Bear Arms is a great cause for defending the sovereignty of the several States.
Thought you’d enjoy this :)
Yes, but the fed stil can regulate, except for guns made in montana that are owed my people in montana
Thus far it will only be effective in Texas until other pro-gun states get on board, which I support.
BUMPIN’ that boss!
This last week has been a shot of adrenalyn
“Except that it doesn’t say it applies only to weapons manufactured and kept in the state, so it has zero chance of surviving the court challenges. Which Kleinschmidt should know.”
Actually, its in the bill. Section 2 (5) reads in part “...Although the states
have granted supremacy to laws and treaties made pursuant to the
powers granted in the constitution, that supremacy does not extend
to various federal statutes, executive orders, administrative
orders, court orders, rules, regulations, and other actions that
restrict or prohibit the manufacture, ownership, and use of
firearms, firearm accessories, or firearm ammunition exclusively
within the borders of Texas...”
Kansas did this a year ago.
If it crosses state lines commerce wise, they can regulate it.
I can just visualize little bammy plotting revenge against Texas.
"no fly zone?"
"Uhh... cut highway funding?"
"BLM?"
"Tare down all border patrol stations?"
"Recall Greg Abbott?"
"No, no, recall TED CRUZ!"
On and on and on.
Meanwhile, back in Texas...
.
“It is DOA and stand zero chance.”

It’s a struggle.
Where did you learn that?
