Watch out! I'm sure we can look forward to calls for more "common sense" gun laws.
Quote: Mom's Demand Action for Gun Sense
and
Texas Gun Sense
Mom's Demand is a spin-off of the Million Moms of a decade ago. Mom's Demand Action a politically motivated, national association funded by multi-millionaire Michael Bloomberg.
After losing every pro-gun bill they worked against during session, they've now turned to other ways to get attention such as a demonstration at the Houston Zoo.
The zoo removed it's improperly posted PC 30.06 sign in response to SB 273 bi-partisan legislation to fine cities, counties, and other governmental entities for threatening licensees with criminal trespass for entering public property. open to the general public, that is not prohibited in statute.
Another such group, Texas Gun Sense , is also lobbying the Legislature right now, during the interim to require DPS to provide businesses with easy access to PC 30.06 and PC 30.07 signs. DPS has no statutory authority over the size, shape, or availability of such signs. Signs aren't the sole agenda for Texas Gun Sense as they insist Texans want universal background checks. Yes, this means on all private sales. Read twitter
Mom's Demand and Gun Sense are hard at work to marginalize and minimize your rights as a licensed, law-abiding Texan who has chosen a handgun as part of your personal protection strategy.
These groups are pressuring businesses to keep out all licensees, open carry or concealed. This is all under the guise of safety although licensees have a track record of being 15 times more law-abiding than the average Texan.
Please keep an eye on the anti-gun groups above and understand you have a hard-working, dedicated, clever enemy.
