The complications of the gun control debate for Democrats in Texas is hard to miss at the party’s statewide convention this week.
In an exhibit hall at the Fort Worth Convention Center, Moms Demand Action, a group that is calling for changes to gun laws in the Lone Star State, is next to a booth sponsored by the Texas State Rifle Association, which is handing out literature touting its success at opposing many of the measures Moms Demand Action want.
“I’m not here to change hearts and minds,” said Odie Hitt, who was staffing the Texas State Rifle Association’s booth on Friday morning. “I’m just here to give information.” |

Since the left is so anxious to either repeal or amend the Second Amendment to suit their collectivist impulses, I propose an alteration to the First Amendment to suit my Lockean impulses.
The following clause shall be added to Amendment I of the Constitution of the United States: "...except that no religious or political philosophy antithetical to the First Principles upon which this republic stands shall be vested in the offices of government, nor in the laws proceeding therefrom."
Waddaya think? HAH? |

TO REMEMBER |
| Some of the worst abuses of government force in recent years were precipitated by technical and victimless gun-law violations. For example, the BATF claimed that the Branch Davidians possessed machine guns without paying the required federal tax and filling in the proper registration forms. So a tax case worth less than $10,000 led to a 76-man helicopter, machine gun, and grenade assault on a home in which 2/3 of the occupants were women and children. — Dave Kopel and Dr. Michael S.
