Updated Thursday at 11:15 a.m. after House approves red flag bill.
“It’s too easy for dangerous people to get dangerous weapons in this country,” said Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio. “Somebody who’s 18 can’t buy beer or cigarettes. But they can go into a gun store and buy two AR-15s and go kill 20 people.”All Texas Republicans voted against the bill and seven major provisions subject to their own votes. All Texas Democrats supported the bill, including Rep.
But the measures face dim prospects in the 50-50 Senate, where at least 10 Republicans would have to agree. As for the red flag law, he added, “Someone who doesn’t like you can file a complaint” and within 24 hours, guns can be taken away without sufficient due process. “Maybe if we heard more prayers from leaders of this country instead of taking God’s name in vain, we wouldn’t have the mass killings,” he said.Later in the debate, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Houston, brandished a poster with photos of the 21 Uvalde victims.

dallasnews Such bullshit infringing on Americans God given rights
dallasnews The very least the senate can do to pass this gun law.
dallasnews A semi-auto means every gun except; black powder, single-shot rifle, and bolt-action rifle and most shot guns and revolver pistols.
dallasnews Why isn’t Congress going after arms dealers that sell to criminals, gangs. Oh they don’t wanna do that because they arm the militias for proxy wars
dallasnews Who needs one!?
dallasnews Better not pass Senate

dallasnews That’s not all that’s in it!!!
dallasnews I'd like to see what the list of changes are. I'm good with raising the age on certain purchases but what defines large capacity? I don't agree with the states that over 10 is too much.
dallasnews DONOTBLAMEGUNS
dallasnews What else are they not telling Us?
dallasnews So when can we expect the police to go into the bad areas of Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, New Orleans and Baltimore many other democratic cities and confiscate guns from the kids under 21 take their AR style rifles and pistols.. I will tell you when, never
dallasnews The senate sucks if it doesn’t pass a gun control package! It’s obvious that they only care about themselves & damn assault weapons! And Texas is the worst!
dallasnews Yaaay! I get punished more for someone else's crime. So easy to to take away freedom rather than create a plan or measure that will actually protect you from criminals that find a way through or around restrictions and laws. STOP THE CRIMINALS, NOT THE INNOCENT! LAZY JERKS AGENDA
dallasnews Ask cities like Chicago and NYC about their gun laws and crime rates. America can learn a thing or two about it.
dallasnews TIME POLITICIANS LEARN WHAT “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” ACTUALLY MEANS!
dallasnews So you can’t buy a hunting rifle until you’re 21, but the government can give you an actual military grade weapon at 18? Can’t protect yourself or family, but can protect politicians and other countries/borders? Clear proof US citizens are seen as the enemy of the US government.
dallasnews Did you ask JohnCornyn why? Why is he more interested in protecting Maryland citizens with security details than elementary students in his own state? Why aren't Republican politicians asked tough questions by the press? Access concerns?
dallasnews Shame on the GOP. Shame on the Proud Boys. Shame on all of us because of the Kan 6 insurrection. Shame on the lies. shame.
dallasnews Good deal. Senate actually following the constitution.
