AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas handgun owners would no longer need a license or training to carry their weapon in public under a bill that cleared a major vote Thursday over Democrats who railed against loosening gun laws after the 2019 mass shooting at an El Paso Walmart.

Texas has more than 1.6 million licensed handgun owners. But scrapping that required permit has been a long-sought goal of conservative activists in gun-friendly Texas, where the National Rifle Association is currently trying to reincorporate to avoid a lawsuit from New York state, which is aiming to put it out of business over alleged financial abuses.

I love how everyone is fleeing to Texas from blue states like they were Venezuela.

Texas better take some steps to prevent themselves from BECOMING the next CA/NY.

I think it's a great idea, what could go wrong?

Constitutional carry, it's catching on!

Welcome to defunded police, bright boy. All the more reason to carry.

Are you kidding? Plenty! Texans will start shooting each other even more often than they already d-

...you know what, never mind. I love this bill.

B-b-but if people openly carrying guns with no need of a permit is all it takes to make America great again, then why are we wasting so much money on police?

we've already been shown several empirical examples this week on how sloppy they do their job. Why, if this were a corporation, they would've been shitcanned long ago and replaced with something better. As is the American Way.

Police aren't there to protect us, there there to protect the criminals' right to due process. The people have always dealt with criminals, and will again if the cops are defunded.

The sooner Texas quits bluffing about seceding and does it, the better.

If the people are gonna deal with criminals the way they always have, then why fund police more than they need to for not doing their job?

"defunded" =/= "no money whatsoever"

they'll still have fat bank accounts no matter what

police don't need a Mandalorian jet backpack and Beskar armor to patrol a dayum street.

Ridiculous. By your logic, if the police budget drops to $1 annually, they're still "funded."

Defunding combined with the Ferguson effect is behind the soaring crime, not to mention Soros DAs in these cities.

 

[Rotadom]

Welcome to defunded police, bright boy. All the more reason to carry.

How can they be defunded when veterans of the force are killing innocents? And then have to lawyer up. Maybe if they didn't spend so much on lawyers they would have some left for actual police work, bright boy.

That's quite literally not what he said, buddy.

 

[ShyBiGuy954]

Go ahead, defund the police.

 

[Rotadom]

Go ahead, defund the police.

Walt gets killed by gunfire in that movie.

If you treat people like shit as in rip off and abuse for no reason you just might.

 

[CornusKousa]

Fuck defunding....

ABOLISH the police....ACAB

 

[CornusKousa]

Why??

Cops won't do shit....time and time again we have seen for YEARS now, that the cops wont protect you.

When the Klantifa/BLM mob comes to burn your shit down FGB, the won't help you, if you try to defend yourself or your home, they will come for YOU.

"defund the police" is terrible messaging.
A better message would be "demilitarize the police".
Police do not need rocket launchers and armored personnel carriers to accomplish their mission.

Indeed, demilitarize would be better, something more people could approve.

Rocket launchers, no, I wouldn't think so. APCs? Gang-controlled area, high conflict situation, I wouldn't mind having one as backup.

 

[jomar]

Fuck yeah! Jack D and July 4 and we’re planning on lighting it up!!!

 

[Champakian]

I guess some of y'all just need to stay out of Texas.

 

[Biggs_Darklighter]

If it passes I think a lot of people are gonna be disappointed by the lack of shooting.

I think you are correct.
It's not a law that stops people from shooting each other.
