The parking lot bill and campus carry are TSRA's top two legislative priorities, so I'm sure a bill will be filed. There are still two months to go until the legislature convenes.

Find out who represents you in the Texas House here.

I'll be addressing mine next week!

I'll be contacting mine, as I always do. Not likely to do much good though, as they've both earned their "F" rating from the TSRA.

82(R) HB 145 - Introduced version - Bill Text

Author: Laubenberg

Caption: Relating to exempting the intrastate manufacture of a firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition from federal regulation.

Excerpt: (b) A basic material from which a firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition is manufactured in this state, including unmachined steel and unshaped wood, is not a firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition and is not subject to federal regulation under the authority of the United States Congress to regulate interstate commerce as if it actually were a firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition.

While I salute the spirit of the "Firearms Freedom" acts and the long history of nullification of unjust laws, I don't think anyone is going to volunteer to be a test case.

Commerce Clause cases have gutted federalism to such a degree that, short of Zombie Rehnquist rising from the grave and eating the brains of several justices and a president appointing justices that actually understand the Constitution, it is going to take a constitutional amendment to get rid of many of the abominations Congress has inflicted on us over the years (including the GCA '68).
