Easing gun laws and rejecting gun control has been the norm in Texas politics since before Republicans took control, as a recent roundup of gun legislationin The Texas Tribune amply illustrates. Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick have regularly positioned themselves with an eye on each other and another on primary voters, donors, and the state’s interest group universe, each trying to occupy the more conservative position. But in their responses to the recurring mass shootings in Texas, that has changed: The two have edged into conversations about red flag laws and increased background checks — positions that have been off limits for Second Amendment advocates housed mostly, if not exclusively, in the Republican Party.

Gun owners can't fall asleep at the switch.
We must keep constant pressure on to bring laws into constitutional context, i.e. the RIGHT to keep and bear arms.
The RIGHT to do so. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Today the taxing power, rather than chattel slavery, is the instrument by which the parasitical element of the population subsists. And that element, which includes politicians, panics at the slightest reduction in the state's power to plunder. Once you start liberating taxpayers, even a little tiny bit, nobody knows where it may end. —Joseph Sobran |
