Re: Texas Constitution and the Right to keep and bear arms.

The use of commas and other punctuation in English prose has been very irregular over the centuries. You can't read much into it, though courts have done so. In the past, writers used commas where we would not these days.

Examination of the text of the Declaration of Independence illustrates this concept:

The important thing to note about the Texas Constitution's RKBA is that it recognizes our right to self-defense. The 2nd amendment to the U.S. Constitution doesn't so that.
