If gun owning friends in other states ask me about Perry in the future, my answer will be a lot less complimentary than it was in 2012. :mad5
Problem is, like the last few POTUS primary seasons, the nomination will be locked up before we here in TX get a chance to vote. A lot of votes in blue and purple states pile up before TX has a say in who the next nominee is. The GOP higher ups want Jeb Bush, and they'll order the primaries to ensure he gets the nod. It will be a done deal before we have a say.

And like hillfighter, I'm also a bit disappointed in that we didn't get any major wins in this session. Enough to where the polly-tic-ians can say "we did something", but nothing of major substance. That we can't gain when we have an overwhelmingly GOP elected body is disappointing. I did hear Dan Patrick say that no major 2A bills made progress because members of the Senate & House weren't pushing for it, which they read as there being little support for the bills.
