But what if the anti-gunners have an agenda of their own? Has anyone given any thought to what they might try to roll back and how we might counter that? I was speaking to a friend who predicted this will be a rollback session for gun rights.

Rolling back rights would not be based on problems we've had. Insofar as I know, we haven't had any. But opposition to guns is not predominately based on logic. The possibility of a rollback is something to think about.

I was told by a senior senate staff member that the antis (e.g. the Moms) were going to make a real hard push to replace the 06/07 signs with downloadable gunbuster signs. They have the full support of the Texas Association of Businesses, which represents over 4,000 Texas businesses. The requirement to plaster the front of your business with the big, ugly current signage is reportedly a major sore spot in the business community. Just a heads-up.

We've known about this since last session. In fact, I've been letting people know for a good while. The TAB is not in full support and it isn't a major sore spot with the business community. Andrea Bauer wants everyone to believe this, but it's not the case.

That said, it is important that we let our elected representatives know that we will not stand for any changes to TPC §30.06.

The state of Texas is so primotive, it's tragic - we live in a diverse nation and an even more diverse state. We have fine people arriving from all the world who are here legally and with good intentions, yet our legislators have deliberately placed the great people in jeopardy thru willful omission.
English and Spanish are great, but as our great leader in Washington has pointed out - we need diversity, we can not exclude or marginalize anyone - regardless of their status.
30.06/7 need to be in at least French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, farsi, braille, ascii, Hindu, Gaelic, high elvish, binary, Vietnamese, Norwegian, afrikaans, Choctaw, Greek, sumarian, hipster, Polynesian, c++, Sioux, Lebanese, Mandarin, etc.
1 inch contrasting colors except braille which mush be in temperature highlighted text.
