Safe Mode: On
(Texas) State Rep Steve Toth to File 'Firearms Protection Act'

(Joining the states of Montana, Arizona and Wyoming in rallying to protectr American gun rights - now Texas has entered the debate ~FJF)
AUSTIN – State Rep. Steve Toth (R-The Woodlands) has begun the process to file legislation assisting the protection of the Second Amendment of the United State Constitution.

The “Firearms Protection Act” bill would make any federal law banning semi-automatic firearms or limiting the size of gun magazines unenforceable within the state’s boundaries. Anyone trying to enforce a federal gun ban could face felony charges under the proposal.

“We can no longer depend on the Federal Government and this Administration to uphold a Constitution that they no longer believe in. The liberties of the People of Texas and the sovereignty of our State are too important to just let the Federal Government take them away. The overreach of the federal administrations executive orders that are do not align with the Constitution, are not very popular here in Texas,” said Toth.

Along with Wyoming, Texas will lead the country in continuing to stand for the sovereignty to run Texas as Texans see fit while exercising the Bill of Rights Amendments 2& 10 to “prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers … [to] extending the ground of public confidence in the Government.”

Along with Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, who has already filed more than 23 suits against the Federal Government, Toth will continue to stand with other Texans to encouraging the promotion of personal responsibility and liberties while actively guarding against outside parties attempting to erode the freedoms enjoyed by Texans so that the people of Texas may have more confidence in their government.

For more information contact, Amy Lane, Chief of Staff at 512-463-0797. Steve Toth is the newly elected State Representative for District 15, which includes The Woodlands, Shenandoah, Imperial Oaks, Oak Ridge North and Benders Landing along with some of the surrounding areas. He lives and works in District 15 and is establishing a House District 15 Office in Alden Bridge near the corner of Research Forest and Kuykendahl that he hopes to open by February of this coming year.

  • Texas sucks man! Filled with liberals, over their heads in-debt and nearly bankrupt. No jobs to be found anywhere. Weak-willed and pantie-waisted....

    Oh, wait, I'm thinking of California. Never mind.

  • Now maybe I'm just a prejudiced, bigoted ol' westerner. But Texans who travel into Canada represent their culture well. The people in the media portray them as boorish and aggressive. My impression of Texans is almost the polar opposite. More than once, I've been impressed with how well mannered Texans are.

    It's the kind of politeness that comes out of self-confidence. I get the definite impression that they act out of genuine interest in civility and decency. They don't need to be abras More..

    • @mendelbot We appreciate the complements, but did you just spell Texas with a small "t"?

      With all due respect kind sir, I am compelled to insist upon a correction.

    • @hdadd I attempted to correct that error, but the LL (understandably) doesn't let people correct errors after replies have been posted. My apologies.

  • I enjoyed being a L.E.O. in CA (75% of the time) Now that I'm became a L.E.O. in Texas I love it. This state lives by what our founding fathers wanted for all Americans. God bless Texas and hopefully still the United States.

  • If enough states do this it'll be obvious that nobody wants 2A infringed. I don't think many people buy into the hype about guns being evil. We CAN have a responsible society that addresses the needs of all people while also NOT depriving liberties to all, because of a few.

    • @darthmullet1 Trust me, there are a lot of people who have very little experience with guns who do want 2A infringed. They think that in the past, people were short-sighted, but in modern era, we are advanced enough to ignore history for the rest of time. Utterly predictable impulses, which, as anticipated, feel that circumstances which tempt them to disarm the public are unprecedented.

      It's futurism, friend. Same old story: When our brains go soft, we can't comprehend why our flesh and blo More..
