Prop 6

Sounds like a solution looking for a problem.

With the court upholding weapons bans in NY and CONN., I think it's a pre-emptive measure should the wrong people get in charge in TX and try to change things.

I'm not fully versed in the complete legalities of any of it but it definitely can't hurt. I think the argument is that you can't ban guns because we need them to hunt or something like that. That's my simplistic understanding.

If anyone else has a better explanation of the legal intricacies and ramification please chime in.

There is more than just guns. There are quite a few people that would ban hunting and fishing if they could. The Bambi syndrome. Then you have the ones that think they can dam waterways to preserve the fresh water for the people, i.e. California. These people don't care that fish need to migrate. California has a bunch of lakes they have to stock each year because the fish have no war to migrate through all the dams. Texas does not need to become like that.

Not at all. There are already many examples where states mismanaged animal populations by not allowing hunting. Wolves in the west. Bears in NJ. Too many places to mention for deer. Once the populations become to large, there are also many examples of suggested solutions that are not as effective as a hunting season based on sound wildlife data.

This prop would keep that from spreading in Texas.
