If this bill were to become law, it could overturn the National Firearms Act, the Gun Control Act, and the 922(o) Machine Gun Ban for weapons made and kept within the state.

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...”
