Here we are with the most conservative chambers in Texas' modern history and we are struggling to pass ONE high profile gun rights bill. With the makeup of this congress, passing HB910, SB11, and HB308 should be doable.
Strauss and Patrick need to put on their big boy panties and do the job they were sent to Austin to do and quit worrying about who gets to claim to be the author of a certain bill! Strauss needs to represent the people of Texas and not just the UT Chancellor! [/rant]

There should not be any need for ANY pro-gun bill to be "kicked to the curb", this session!
All the same old talk about 'wasted political capital', so and so did this or that...and killed it, baby steps, blah, blah.
If we actually had 'political capital' we would be getting bills passed.
