More Than Two Dozen Gun Control Measures Prefiled for 2023 Session of the Texas Legislature
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2022 More Than Two Dozen Gun Control Measures Prefiled for 2023 Session of the Texas Legislature
SUPPORT NRA-ILA
Although the 2023 Regular Session of the Texas Legislature does not convene until January 10, gun control advocates have wasted no time declaring war on your Second Amendment rights in the Lone Star State and making clear their intention to push for Biden/Beto gun restrictions during the upcoming legislative session. Today is the first day for prefiling 2023 bills, and already more than two dozen measures attacking your rights have been introduced!

Here are some of the lowlights of what’s to come:

House Bill 22, House Bill 106, House Bill 284 & House Bill 324 requiring the REPORTING OF LAWFUL SALES of certain firearms and magazines to state and/or local law enforcement.
House Bill 76 CRIMINALIZING the failure of a victim of gun theft to report having his or her firearms stolen.
House Bill 88 & House Bill 447 further TAXING the sale of firearms and/or ammunition and firearm accessories.
House Bill 110, House Bill 146 & House Bill 308 BANNING private firearm transfers at gun shows.
House Bill 123 & House Bill 136 red flag GUN CONFISCATION legislation requiring surrender of firearms without due process.
House Bill 129 & House Bill 565 RAISING THE MINIMUM AGE for purchase of semi-automatic rifles.
House Bill 155 & House Bill 236 BANNING private firearm transfers between certain family members and friends, requiring FFLs to process these transactions that would include federal paperwork for government approval at an undetermined fee.
House Bill 197 BANNING the sale or transfer and possession of standard capacity magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
House Bill 179, House Bill 216 & House Bill 244 RESTRICTING long gun open carry, with limited exceptions.
House Bill 298 establishes a 3-day WAITING PERIOD for firearm sales.
Senate Bill 32 BANNING the sale or possession of commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms.
NRA-ILA will review these measures and report to you on additional firearm-related bills that are filed in advance of session. You can view a list, and the text, of legislation prefiled each day here. Information on who your state lawmakers are and how to contact them has not yet been updated on the Texas Legislative webpages (Senate and House) to reflect the recent election results. We will let you know when that becomes available.

Let your congressmen know your opinion.

I would hope everyone no matter where they live stay on top of the "fight",
funny how post like "whats your latest purchase"gets over 5000 replys but 2nd amendment post like this one has 3 post in 11 days.
if you like guns and shooting you should join the fight....

I’m actively monitoring this from 1200 mi away. My son lives in Wichita Falls area of Texas……. At the end of the day can’t Gov Abbot simply veto the bill when/if it hits his desk? Or is it possible to override a veto? Is there that kind of support for it?

Good luck to those of you in Texas. It seems the mass immigration from California is taking its toll. I'm sorry that you guys have to deal with tyrants trying to further limit your rights.

I would wager that those bills were sponsored by mostly big city democrats. Fortunately , our governor has said he will veto any bill that includes gun control. California, please keep your liberals home!!!

I've lived in Texas for 70 years and have been calling our capitol (Austin Tx) "Little California" for the last 25 years. It's got must worse over the last 5 to 10 years but until the silent majority Stop being silent it will only get worse. The term "Coming to a town near You" has never been more true.

I truly feel sorry for my grand children because no matter what I try to teach them their teachers will un-teach them.

I agree. It seems these perpetual type Bills get re-introduced with every new session. The Left is relentlessly trying to erase the 2nd Amendment on every front. In turn, we need to be relentless in the fight to oppose such non-sense.
