Don't mess with Texans or their guns

Don't mess with Texans or their guns. That’s how state Rep. Steve Toth (R-Woodlands) sees it.

Toth wants to make any new federal weapons ban illegal in the state of Texas.

“This is a hardened state. This isn't a good place for a criminal to show up and start shooting,” said Rep. Toth.

So, he’s proposing legislation that would make any federal law banning semiautomatic firearms or limiting the size of gun magazines unenforceable in the Lone Star State.

“We want to make sure this legislation protects the Second Amendment gun rights and the Tenth Amendment which is state sovereignty rights of Texans..

..Toth believes his proposed Firearm Protection Act will easily pass.

Under his plan, anyone trying to enforce a federal gun ban could be charged with a felony in Texas.
