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.

They make them sound like common sense, but the problem is that for the dems they are actually just "first steps". And they will keep pitching every next step as common sense as well until they are confiscating weapons like NSW in Australia and banning long kitchen knives while letting the muslims keep swords and machetes in Britain. The criminals and the leftists (but I repeat myself) will always be allowed ro keep their weapons. Only the law abiding folks will be disarmed.

But they aren't, the history of liberalism in the west is one of consistently trying to change society so fast that there is a always a backlash from the right to slow it down. The march is slowly left over time but only in an awkward, slow and intermittent fashion.

If they were actually masters of incrementalism they would have progressed slowly over a few generations and would have been much more successful much more quickly.

Remember, gun control isn't about guns.
It's always about control.

No cop or government official is giving up their guns.
Neither are the black democrat gang bangers who are overwhelmingly responsible for the gun violence in this country.

HB 576 / HB 612 are probably the only ones which will even get a hearing in the Senate.

HB 660 is just stupid. No one who illegally possesses a firearm is going to turn it in.

Democrats are going to waste an awful lot of time accomplishing nothing.

The best thing is dems accomplish nothing. It's when they accomplish something that things go bad quickly.

Eh. Filing a bill means jack squat. Have to wait to see what makes it to the floor before we know what they mean business on.

And even then, none of it will get past the senate.


On top of that the new members of the Texas comment aren't even in charge yet. So like these bills mean nothing.

I doubt they even make it out of committee

They file all this stuff every session, but this time they have control of the house (for real, not the fake control Rs had under a Dustin Burrows speakership beholden to Ds), they have the Lt Gov picking the chairs and setting the vote calendar in the Senate, and they have the governor. So all of the firewalls we used to have against this nonsense are gone and all that is standing in the way is a thin margin of votes in the senate where all it will take is for Ds to find something a few of those Rs want bad enough to peal them away and get them to vote for it. Not comforting at all.

Watch as the Dems pick ZERO Republicans for chairs, after the GOP has been gifting them a few every year for "statesmanship". Now that the Dems have power, don't need none of that *****..it's only when they DON'T have power that they demand "fairness",

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.


No, it's the fault of the morons who vote for the tyrannical policies of the Dems and pushed them further left.

And had enough fools not bought the BS over Biden being a sane return to decency, Trump would already be gone by now.

Yes, blame the folks who are reacting to the bills YOUR party wants to make into law

And the Biden adminstration tried to make millions of gun owners felons, by passing the brace rule. It only didn't work because the Supreme Court struck them down.

We don't have guns to fight government. We have guns to fight people like you who will blame the victim, and be more than happy when the government comes after legal gun owner, just because they don't vote for the same party

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


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




I didn't like Trump in 2016 because I thought he was a fraud and a narcissist. I could not vote for Killary, voted Independent. I voted Biden to get rid of him. Didn't work. Like herpes, he came back. Couldn't vote for Kamala, so I voted independent (whoever that was, don't remember).

Finally, when he won again, I learned to ignore what he says and focus on what he does. Also, he's pretty damn funny if you just treat what he says as bluster, which it usually is. So, my TDS went into remission. I was onboard with Venezuela, immigration, energy, but the Iran war was dumb and the tariffs were dumb. I don't understand attacking our allies, Canada, Europe, etc. and cozying up to Putin. Ukraine war was a gift to get rid of Putin and he's f'ed that up, for now.

My TDS is not as bad as it was, but I still don't want him as President. I voted straight ticket R this midterm.

Also, there are a bunch on here with TDS, but the other way around. Believing his stupid "it was rigged!" everytime he loses. Defending him on everything he does.

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.

That's not a bug. That's a feature, comrade.

But they aren't, the history of liberalism in the west is one of consistently trying to change society so fast that there is a always a backlash from the right to slow it down. The march is slowly left over time but only in an awkward, slow and intermittent fashion.

If they were actually masters of incrementalism they would have progressed slowly over a few generations and would have been much more successful much more quickly.

This is how they implement it through incrementalism.

Go really fast, get 10 things done, but after the backlash, only 1 or 2 are left.

But they got those 1 or 2. A few years later, rinse and repeat, and now 3 or 4 are accomplished.

That doesn't seem unreasonable to me. As a point of reference, there were 0 Democratic chairs on House Committees in the 2025 legislative session and 6 Democratic chairs on subcommittees. Are you counting subcommittees in your 6?

Don't forget that we had dem "co-chairs" with most of the same powers as the R chair on every house committee in the 2025 session. I doubt we see that make an appearance this session.

Texas Democrats are filing a FLOOD of proposed bills that would TAKE AWAY gun rights for Americans.

Here's what's been filed so far:

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.

HB 173 (Moody): would make it a state jail felony to transfer a semiautomatic rifle that takes a detachable magazine and is larger than .22 caliber to anyone under 21, with exceptions for peace officers, current or honorably discharged military, and some temporary loans at a range or hunt.

HB 576 (Lalani): would bar registered sex offenders from buying a firearm, but only for registration based on an offense committed on or after Sept. 1, 2027.

HB 103 (Martinez): would expand the state crime of reckless discharge of a firearm so it also covers counties of 500,000 or more people, not just cities of 100,000 or more.

SB 80 (Zaffirini): would prohibit certain transfers, purchases, and possession of assault weapons and would create criminal offenses.

HB 606 (Lalani): would prohibit transferring firearms to, or the purchase or possession of firearms by, people under 21, and would create a criminal offense.

HB 610 (Lalani): would prohibit transferring firearms to certain recipients under 21.

HB 857 (Ancha): would prohibit transferring certain semiautomatic rifles to certain recipients under 21, and would create a criminal offense and increase a penalty.

HB 771 (Sethi): would prohibit transferring certain semiautomatic rifles to certain recipients, and would create a criminal offense and increase a penalty.

HB 806 (Reynolds): would prohibit transferring semiautomatic rifles to certain recipients and would increase a criminal penalty.

HB 613 (Lalani): would require a national instant criminal background check on private firearm transfers and would create a criminal offense.

HB 612 (Lalani): would prohibit a sex offender from possessing a firearm. (prob the only reasonable one)

HB 609 (Lalani): would increase the criminal penalty for making a firearm accessible to a child.

HB 658 (Moody): would change the prosecution and punishment of making a firearm accessible to a child and would increase a criminal penalty.

HB 618 (Moody): would restrict transferring firearm magazines to people who are prohibited from possessing the type of firearm the magazine is made for, and would create a criminal offense.

HB 659 (Moody): would require licensed firearms dealers to report certain sales or transfers of multiple firearms or magazines to law enforcement, and would create a criminal offense.

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

HB 712 (Gmez): would address a city or county's authority to regulate or prohibit carrying a firearm in certain libraries.

HB 776 (Sethi): would address expulsion-related offenses involving possessing, carrying, exhibiting, or using a firearm on or within 1,000 feet of school property.

HB 859 (Ancha): would increase the criminal penalty for discharging a firearm in certain municipalities.

None of this is what conservatives, or even moderates, voted for when they pulled the lever for Dems last week.

NONE OF IT.

Yes it is. Everybody told them that is what they were voting for if they chose to vote D, but they all insisted "I am just doing it as a protest vote against Trump". Well guess what, that is what your "protest vote" gets you. The D's never stopped being who they are, they just lied enough about who they are and a bunch of suckers believed them.
