You'd think growing your own wheat for your family and livestock wouldn't be either, huh? The supremes said it is because then you're not buying it from someone else and that affects interstate commerce.
True, they need to get onto those CallyFornian's "growing their own" and affecting "International Trade with Mexico"
They need to send the FDA, INS, CIA, FBI, and BATFE over there and dispose of all that. Maybe the ACLU too.

Re: HB145 - Firearms Freedom Act

Texas should provide incentives to all Firearms Manufacturers to move here.
Calico started in California and had to relocate their factory, change States 3 times due to States changing laws. They should have come here first, those 50 and 100 round pistols and carbines are just plain fun at the range. They were about to make them in .40 S&W, but Brady may run them outta bidness if they limit capacity because they only come in 2 sizes, 50 or 100 round in both 9mm or .22 cal

The incentive is : Bring your factory to Texas, we don't try to run companies out of business, we'd rather have employed people, sales and a healthy economy. We want you to profit, so we have common goals.

How will this benefit Gun Owners and Pro-2A folks?

Another question... are there any Firearm Manufacturer's in Texas?
LaRue and STI pop into my head first...I'm sure there are others.
Shilen Rifles Inc in Ennis, TX is a private company categorized under Firearms Manufacturers
Ten Ring Precision Inc in San Antonio, TX is a private company categorized under Firearms Manufacturers
Bond arms, American Derringer, and several others.

It only exempts firearms and ammo for a specific time, not permanently. Same as the limited tax exemption for clothing and footware.

Sec.A151.344.AAHANDGUNS, RIFLES, SHOTGUNS, AND AMMUNITION.
The sale of a handgun, a rifle, a shotgun, or ammunition for a
handgun, rifle, or shotgun is exempted from the taxes imposed by
this chapter if the sale takes place during the period described by
Section 151.326(a)(2).


Section 151.326(a)(2)
(2) the sale takes place during a period beginning at 12:01 a.m. on the third Friday in August and ending at 12 midnight on the following Sunday
"clothing and footware" I think they added school backpacks and other school supplies, that's why the guns and ammo were added I hope :mrgreen:
