HB 218 (Johnson): would create extreme-risk protective orders, including temporary orders issued without notice. A family or household member or a peace officer could apply if they allege the person has a serious mental illness and poses an immediate danger because of access to firearms. The person would have to turn over their guns within 24 hours; a full order would last up to a year and could be renewed. Possessing a gun in violation would be a Class A misdemeanor.

I have not looked at any other bills being considered but the first one is very troubling gestapo tactics.

Men and women should fear this one. Your spouse can already get an ex parte TRO. This will enable a particularly evil spouse, a mental child, or scumbag attorney to send you to the psych ward and separate you from your children.

This sounds like a Red Flag Law. They have become popular in Blue States and allow almost anyone to report almost anyone as being unstable and should have their guns taken away. Generally no one has to do any investigation or even talk to the accused person. The first you are aware of this is when a SWAT Team shows up to collect all the persons guns.

My neighborhood has a psycho lib that hates almost everyone here because she is just nuts plus most of us are Republicans which she absolutely despises. In this neighborhood she has actually assaulted a couple of folks, chased others with her car, and filed suit against several others claiming they threatened her. Multiple court cases are in progress around this lunatic.

There are a lot of hunters here and almost everyone has a couple of guns. If this bill were to pass it would not be surprised if she reported the entire neighborhood just because she could.

Let's be honest, we're cooked, all of us, because our Congress has zero interest in financial responsibility. NONE.

The social entitlements, NGO fraud, lobbyists, military industrial complex, regulatory capture, are so deeply entrenched that the budget will never get fixed.

And, just wait until they ruin our AI advantage with a duopoly, ruining competition. The left loves them some regulatory capture hidden by words like Safety.

Wow, they put every red flag law they could think of on there...The Rs in Texas are lucky you kept control of the Senate...

This is all the fault of one man and his blind sycophants. He had the chance to crush the Dems for a long, long time. And he blew it with dumb tariffs, a dumb war, corruption and narcissism.

If Trump has been put out to pasture after 2020 and DeSantis, Rubio, Cruz or someone similar had been elected, none of this would be happening.

I can assure you my support of Trump had nothing to do with this.

Once again, you question why you are often ridiculed and paid no mind. Glaring example!

And why make more laws to stop criminals when these urban DAs don't prosecute them?

You do realize that they do this for every session, right?

I am sure GeorgiaAg was a staunch Trump supporter except for when he voted for Biden over Trump in 2020 and Kamala in 2024.

Never. He actually apologized for the Biden years on multiple occasions. Those apologies were more than likely BS but he made an effort.

The point is not to deter the criminals. The point is to have laws to use against the law abiding citizens when necessary.

This should go a long way towards lowering prices.

Once nobody can get through a typical day without a violation of some sort it is just a matter of selective prosecution at that point.

Surprised one of the stupid dems, didn't pose a bill for background checks at gun shows.

---

Why perpetuate the myth that you can buy a gun at a gun show with no background check?

If you buy from a dealer, regardless of state, you have to pass a background check at a gun show.

If you buy from an individual, in some states, you do not need to pass a background check for private sales at a gun show.

None of this will pass

But it might in 2-4 years

Federal level is where it will get real in 2 years if the Dems win the White House

---

Next time dems gain control of POTUS, house and senate, America may very well be cooked beyond repair. No hyperbole. Hope I am wrong, but we know their position on packing SOCUTS and eliminating electoral college.

We saw how tyrannical they got with Covis and vaccine mandates too.

---

How are they going to do that without and amendment?

Same people who, if they didn't kill them, sent them to "reeducation" camps. I swear I have heard that more than a dozen times very recently.

interstate compact effectively end-runs around the electoral college, effectively killing its purpose while leaving its skin around..

They will wait until 2028. If a Dem is elected as President and they still hold the House and the Senate. Congress will then pass a new federal law amending 28 U.S.C. 1, and the new Sociali...Communist President will allow it, and away they will go with packing the courts.

Condolences. Us too.

Weird. I just checked and the serial numbers for all my guns begin with "FU".

HB 660 (Moody): would require certain people already prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm to dispose of firearms they own, possess, or control.

This made me laugh

Lalani & Moody author countless absurd bills with no expectation of any of it passing. They do it just to appease their base. None of them ever have a sponsor and they die in committee. Their bills are symbolic in nature because they know they have no chance. They propose every one of those bills every session and everybody else ignores them.

In a R house with R committee chairs and an R speaker, and with an R Lt Gov. Yes. I expect several of these go go further this session even if they likely won't pass. Their base and that of their fellow majority members will expect them to do more this session. Just filing a bill that fails will be seen as a major failure by a wide swath of the D voters.

Hey look! The first Pakistani elected to the Texas House, wants to disarm the populace to make it easier for his Pakistan terrorist friends.

Don't tease me with a good time.

Solid. Way to go f'n idiots.

A person with common sense would agree with most of these proposals however, we are talking about Democrats which are the most dishonest and dishonorable individuals on this planet.

Because for them, if you give them one inch, they will take a mile and keep going, especially when it comes to gun control.
