Maybe it should but it wasn't clear at all. As I have said before, the Texas constitution says "arms" not firearms. Humans have used knives as weapons for thousands of years before firearms were invented, so knives are clearly arms. Please explain how the current San Antonio prohibition against one type of arm (locking folder) is fundamentally different than a hypothetical Dallas prohibition against another type of arm (long guns) other than type of "arms" prohibited (and the fact one is hypothetical.
)
LGC §229.001. wrote: FIREARMS; EXPLOSIVES. (a) A municipality may not adopt regulations relating to the transfer, private ownership, keeping, transportation, licensing, or registration of firearms, ammunition, or firearm supplies.
Then there are a few exceptions listed. Notice the pre-emption is for
firearms, not
knives. Municipalities can regulate knives all they want, but not firearms. San Antonio can make you apply for a license to purchase a steak knife or a butter knife, but not a pistol. Is that clear enough for every one?
