Keep in mind also that while some of us tend to eat, sleep and breath gun issues, to most legislators, it's just one tiny crumb on a very large table.

Chas.

Are there ANY pro-gun bills that look like they're headed towards passage this session?

It's not just us, though. We're a drop in the bucket. This has also been a hot topic on other Texas gun forums, Facebook, etc.

So we're a "small handful of gun rights fringe groups." Our concerns are "hateful and uneducated vitriol." So condescending.

As I understand it, it's irrelevant that a committee has a 5 out of 9 Republican membership, because the chair has total control over what bills are reviewed in committee. Would Nevarez and Collier stop a bill banning 30 round magazines? Would they approve a bill expanding places where LTC holders can carry? Oh, OK.... Bonnen expects them to support bills that are "reasonable." No comment.

I suppose it's POSSIBLE that Bonnen might be planning some kind of quid pro quo - "let this pro-gun bill through, and I'll allow your district's new airport" - but I'm not holding my breath. At least, Bonnen seems to be aware that he has stepped in it, and he's being closely watched.

Where is TSRA, David Stroud, et. al. in this picture? I went to the TSRA legislative web site and there's not even a mention of this.
