Until the session is over, we have nothing to articulate other than we don't like the chairman positions of these committees. I'm still waiting to see what legislation comes from this session before I voice my opinion to my elected officials. If we see increased 2nd amendment liberty, I will be happy. If we see a reduction in 2nd amendment liberty, I will express my disapproval to my state rep and encourage change next session. But to say that the choices are a betrayal might perhaps be premature. Like you, I hope that this has been an overreaction on our part and we see further restoration of our rights when the Texas House adjourns sine die. Only time will tell. In the mean time, I would still encourage everyone to contact their state reps/senators and encourage them to sign on to one of the bills that Charles has shown support for, as well as encourage them to oppose the bad bills.

While I was disappointed, as many were, to learn of the chair appointment to the Homeland Security and Public Safety committee, there have been no bills heard by any committees. Many good bills were killed quietly under Straus, but there WERE some advances as well. I am willing to be patient and see how this session goes.
I've told others that if 2nd Amendment liberty is expanded, then I will be happy.
If 2nd Amendment liberty is reduced, I will be contacting my state rep to voice my displeasure and encourage them to select a different speaker next session.
