The Good, Bad and Ugly of Proposed Gun Legislation

 

Protecting our 2A Rights - Issue 56

What's Happening

Don’t tread on Texans’ gun rights, Abbott says in plan to ‘protect’ Second Amendment Gov. Greg Abbott, for one, is focused on making Texas a “Second Amendment sanctuary state.” “Politicians from the federal level to the local level have shouted: ‘Heck yes, the government is coming to get your guns,’” Abbott said, referencing Beto O’Rourke’s remarks during his 2020 Democratic bid for president when he said: “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.” Ammo shortage not expected to end any time soon 2020 proved to be a record year for firearm purchases, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation with millions of people buying guns for the first time. Now many of those gun owners are running into an ammunition shortage. MISSOURI COUNTY PASSES ORDINANCE CALLING FOR ARREST OF FEDS WHO ENFORCE UNCONSTITUTIONAL GUN LAWS — THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT The Newton County Commission passed an ordinance Feb. 3 that both blocks the implementation of unconstitutional federal gun control laws but also makes it a crime to try to enforce them. Attacks on Second Amendment Trigger Tyranny The election swept in a legion of Second Amendment foes. Americans can expect them to take James Madison’s statement that disarming the people is “the best and most effective way to enslave them” as less of a warning and more of a directive.
