SJR 24

Hall

In addition to reported election integrity concerns, this amendment to the Texas State Constitution would allow Bloomberg/Sorors money to influence the fate of Constitutional Carry in Texas by putting it on a ballot and making it susceptible to mob rule. The legislature should first pass Constitutional Carry legislation before trying to delegate their duties to citizens via ballot initiatives. Ballot initiatives are how states like California "govern" and it is not the way things should be done in Texas.
