Pot is legal in Colorado but against federal law, but the federal law is hardly enforced.
If this law passed, buying/selling class III items would not be against state law, but still against federal law with no tax stamp, but Texas officials could not prosecute or help the Fed.
You better bet that the Fed would come to get you for your unregistered Texas NFA items way before they go after the pot smokers in Colorado!

This could easily be reversed during a Republican adminiatration.

What could be reversed? NFA laws?

No, I was referring to a Republican administration enforcing federal drug laws in CO and not enforcing NFA laws in Tx

I just got through reading HB176. Someone correct me if I'm wrong: If this passes it would appear that the transfer or sale of Class 3 items within the State of Texas would be legal.

If my interpretation is correct, let's say someone within the state had a Glock 18 (or a suppressor, or other class 3 item including fully automatic firearms), they would be able to legally sell it to someone else in the state who can legally own firearms. Am I missing something?

If this is true, then let OCT and MDA keep the spotlight on OC bills while this one quietly passes through!
