Ummm No

It seems as though some of the Terminally-Deluded think that Beto O’Rourke won the Texas governor’s election, given their list of gun control legislation to be proposed in the 2023 Texas legislative session:

  • House Bill 22, House Bill 106, House Bill 284 & House Bill 324 requiring the REPORTING OF LAWFUL SALES of certain firearms and magazines to state and/or local law enforcement — not gonna happen
  • House Bill 76 CRIMINALIZING the failure of a victim of gun theft to report having his or her firearms stolen — are you kidding me?
  • House Bill 88 & House Bill 447 further TAXING the sale of firearms and/or ammunition and firearm accessories — higher taxes?  in Texas?
  • House Bill 110, House Bill 146 & House Bill 308 BANNING private firearm transfers at gun shows — LOL no
  • House Bill 123 & House Bill 136 red flag GUN CONFISCATION legislation requiring surrender of firearms without due process — nope
  • House Bill 129 & House Bill 565 RAISING THE MINIMUM AGE for purchase of semi-automatic rifles — not a chance
  • House Bill 155 & House Bill 236 BANNING private firearm transfers between certain family members and friends, requiring FFLs to process these transactions that would include federal paperwork for government approval at an undetermined fee — stomach’s starting to hurt, here
  • House Bill 197 BANNING the sale or transfer and possession of standard capacity magazines that hold more than 10 rounds — was that a unicorn I just saw?
  • House Bill 179, House Bill 216 & House Bill 244 RESTRICTING long gun open carry, with limited exceptions — maybe in hospitals… nah, not even
  • House Bill 298 establishes a 3-day WAITING PERIOD for firearm sales — like in California?
  • Senate Bill 32 BANNING the sale or possession of commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms — we do not live on the Planet Manhattan.

Maybe in New York / Illinois / California / Connecticut / Massachusetts or hellholes of similar foulness would these silly dreams get more than an airy laugh or disbelieving looks from the elected politicians.

Not in Texas.  They’ll be taken out and shot in the back of the neck.  I wish we could do the same to the fuckheads who have created this list, but apparently there’s some stupid law against it.  I’ll call my TX House Rep and Senator, and see if they can get that changed.

That amendment would have a greater likelihood of passing than the above list.

  1. Every one of those proposals are in direct violation of the constitution and are thus, illegal. Therefore the perpetrators that initiated those proposals are criminals and need to be arrested immediately. Why isn’t the governor doing just that right now? By failing to arrest criminals, as the highest law enforcement officer in the state, he too is criminal.

  2. I count 22 different proposals, and I’d be willing to bet that none were sent up by Republicans. I may be wrong, but that sure looks like a Liberal Karen circus (I was going to say circle jerk) to me.

    1. Standard Democrat Beginning-of-Session Laundry List of Ideas That Will Not Work.

      So the Legislature has to waste time, year after year, going through the motions and defeating these instead of passing meaningful legislation. (True Constitutional Carry, enhanced penalties for the use of a firearm during a crime and hanging liberal sonsabitches that propose stupid gun control laws.)

  3. I count 22 different proposals, and I’d be willing to bet that none were sent up by Republicans. I may be wrong, but that sure looks like a Liberal Karen circus (I was going to say circle jerk, but that would be crude,) to me.

  4. You really should find a used copy of H. Beam Piper’s “Lone Star Planet”. I think you’d really like their political system of making legislators truly responsible for thier proposed laws…with their life.

    It’s written as a satire, with lots of humor, sort of like Laumer’s original “Retief” series, but with some serious points to be made as well.

  5. I sure hope those are all non starters. We have some of those laws on the books here behind enemy lines. The no private sales without overlord permission is onerous since the state takes down the “instant” background check system randomly for “maintenance.”

    Red flag laws go against the rights of the accused. Too bad Trump actually endorsed the idea.

    But I’m preaching to the choir and I am probably not saying anything that hasn’t already been said and is known.

    Tar, feathers, various politicians and bureaucrats assembly required.
