As many call for tighter gun laws, Texas''' set to loosen up
Beginning Sept. 1, it will be easier to carry and store guns in Texas, home to five of the 20 deadliest shootings in the United States since 1900.
Ten new pro-gun laws will take effect in Texas in four weeks, less than a month after 22 people died in a mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso.
Gov. Greg Abbott signed the measures after they were passed in a 2019 legislative session that the National Rifle Association, or NRA, called "highly successful" at the time, celebrating that the measures "will further loosen Texas' permissive gun laws" and would send the "gun control crowd home empty-handed."
=================================================
I've had a problem with Texas' gun control policies since at least 1970 when I had a confrontation about guns with a TX citizen at a trade show. It may be in their wild-west culture, but these people have some deeep probleems.
