Dozens of bills aimed at keeping Texas the most gun-obsessed state in the nation are making their way through the legislative process. Among more than 75 gun-related bills filed in the House and nearly 30 in the Senate are a few, a very few, designed to safeguard Texans without infringing on their Second Amendment rights.
The most egregious pro-gun bill is House Bill 375 sponsored by state Rep. Jonathan Stickland, R-Bedford. It would allow Texans to carry firearms either concealed or openly without a permit and without any kind of safety training. Called Constitutional Carry, the bill is the Lone Star version of a state-by-state National Rifle Association crusade to strip away any restrictions whatsoever on gun ownership and usage. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
