Texas Rep. Steve Toth plans to propose a bill that calls for felony criminal charges to be filed against any federal official who tries to enforce in the state any federal laws restricting semi-automatic firearms or the size of gun magazines.
"If a federal official comes into the state of Texas to enforce the federal executive order, that person is subject to criminal prosecution," Toth told WOAI News.
The measure would make any federal firearms legislation passed by Congress or approved by Presidential order unenforceable in Texas.
Texas Attorney General, Greg Abbott, has already vowed to fight any federal measures that call for restrictions on weapons.
