exactly. there aren't near enough legal and illegal firearms in Texas.
exactly. there aren't near enough legal and illegal firearms in Texas.You would be right to worry, and they still have a long way to go.
Registration of firearms, specifying specific storage requirements, seizing "unlicensed" firearms during declared emergencies, and imposing an age requirement all violate the Second Amendment and need to be repealed before Texas can claim to be fully Second Amendment compliant.
However, I will commend the Texas State House of Representatives for making a step in the right direction to become fully Second Amendment compliant.
Clearly you are unable to comprehend "shall not be infringed," but I can assure you, it is part of the Second Amendment. All permits of any kind are a government infringement. As are age requirements and storage requirements. Any kind of government requirement is by definition an infringement.They will move or not regardless of Constitutionality... but there is nothing unconstitutional about permits, etc.
It isn't about numbers. It is about access. Government cannot restrict access to a constitutionally protected right.exactly. there aren't near enough legal and illegal firearms in Texas.
The feds know better. In the 11 years that the law has been in effect we have held numerous public heavy weapon demonstrations using multiple fully-automatic machine guns, a wide variety of mortars, and even a 105mm Howitzer artillery piece - all with live ammunition - without ever once being molested by any federal law enforcement. Nor is Alaska the only State that is doing this. There are eight other States with a similar Firearm Freedom Act.
This only underscores how ignorant and clueless you are about this subject.
if it isn't about numbers, then each person would need just one firearm, correct?It isn't about numbers. It is about access. Government cannot restrict access to a constitutionally protected right.
Do you have just one tool in your tool box?if it isn't about numbers, then each person would need just one firearm, correct?
hang on.Do you have just one tool in your tool box?
You do not get to decide how someone else will use their tool. That is for the owner of the tool to decide.hang on.
is this conversation about personal safety? if it is then one firearm (and probably a backup for redundancy) would do it (and enough ammo of course).
Again, you do not get to determine the number or the purpose for which the firearm will be used. Why do you leftists always assume that YOU can determine what is or isn't necessary for someone else? And it is only leftists who make this extremely arrogant and erroneous assumption, nobody else.now, if i really wanted to shoot you (which i never would i'm just doing a hypothetical) i'd just wait for you to take the gas nozzle out of your gas tank at the gas station and shoot you in the back. which, again, i'd never do.
so the number of firearms don't help in those situations. like it doesn't matter how many guns a girlfriend have if boyfriends are just gonna shoot them in the shower.
I didn't say I get to determine how many guns you get to own. You could own a million under our laws.You do not get to decide how someone else will use their tool. That is for the owner of the tool to decide.

Why do you get to determine how many firearms it would take for the personal protection of others? Concern yourself with only your needs, and stop concerning yourself with what others need or don't need.I didn't say I get to determine how many guns you get to own. You could own a million under our laws.
I was commenting on how many it would take for personal protection. How many do you carry at any one time (for protection)?
It's illegal for California residents to buy guns outside of California.
Well, it does serve as an excellent rebuttal to the notion that all you have to do is go out of state to avoid the $25 tax. And no FFL in another state will sell a gun to a California resident, at least not legally. So that leaves violating Federal law by doing an illegal out of state private transaction. If you're inclined to do an illegal private transaction, you might as well just stay home and do it in California, where all gun sales have to go through an FFL.ROFL! Good luck trying to enforce that illegal law.
You are literally not reading my posts.Why do you get to determine how many firearms it would take f
Nope. Not at all. You are 100% Wrong.Clearly you are unable to comprehend "shall not be infringed," but I can assure you, it is part of the Second Amendment. All permits of any kind are a government infringement. As are age requirements and storage requirements. Any kind of government requirement is by definition an infringement.
Yeah but if you do how are they going to know?It's illegal for California residents to buy guns outside of California.
See post #36.Yeah but if you do how are they going to know?
If everyone engages in Civil disobedience then the law has no power. This is a good thing because the law in California is stupid, they are made by incompetent morons that don't know what they're doing.See post #36.

Nobody cares if a responsible person has a gun, concealed or otherwise.
We don't want the irresponsible people to have guns.
Making conceal and carry for everyone is going to include a lot more irresponsible people.

Sounds like a living dead episode.On April 15, 2021, the Texas State House of Representatives voted 84-56 to eliminate carry permits.
That is certainly a step in the right direction. Now Texas needs to eliminate its unconstitutional storage, licensing, and age requirements. They are not compliant with the Second Amendment yet, but they are moving in the right direction.

So complicated.I don't think they voted to eliminate it, just require it. MOST states do require a CCW permit - but will respect other state's CCW permits. In Florida - not an open carry state - having a concealed firearm without a CCW permit is a felony. A Texan would want a Texas CCW permit for travel.
