Gun control moving in the Texas House?
May 2, 2019,
Gun control is gaining momentum in the Texas House!
HB 545, authored by notorious anti-gun Democrat Poncho Nevarez, would prohibit the sale or transfer of a firearm to certain persons under the guise of “mental health.”
HB 545 bypasses clinical analysis and relies solely on the interpretation of a judge to strip you of your right to bear arms — even if you’re not a threat to yourself or others.
In short, HB 545 kicks your right to due process to the curb.
Sadly, HB 545 recently sailed through the Criminal Jurisprudence Committee and is waiting to be scheduled for a vote by the full Texas House of Representatives.
So please call these members of the House Calendars Committee and respectfully urge them to OPPOSE HB 545:
Rep. Four Price (512) 463-0470
Rep. John Frullo (512) 463-0676
Rep. Craig Goldman (512) 463-0608
Rep. Will Metcalf (512) 463-0726
Rep. Tom Oliverson (512) 463-0661
Rep. John Wray (512) 463-0516
After that, please sign your No Gun Control Mandate to your elected officials RIGHT AWAY.
With HB 545 moving through the Texas House, it appears gun control is receiving Speaker Bonnen’s blessing.
After Speaker Bonnen recently announced his opposition to Constitutional Carry, his true colors are finally seeping through.
Like “Red Flag” gun confiscation orders, HB 545 would infringe upon law-abiding Texans of their right to bear arms without a crime even being committed.
But HB 545 is so bad that it completely ignores the degree or extent of a person’s illness or disability — and would treat non-violent Texans allegedly suffering from mental illness as if they were a violent criminal.
Not only that, HB 545 infringes upon the rights of veterans who simply need help with their financial affairs but are otherwise able to live without assistance.
Simply put, HB 545 is more extensive than Obama’s veteran gun grab.
Like always, we are going to fight this gun grab tooth and nail.
But I need your help to stop HB 545 before it’s too late!
So please call these members of the House Calendars Committee and respectfully urge them to block HB 545:
Rep. Four Price (512) 463-0470 (Committee Chair)
Rep. John Frullo (512) 463-0676
Rep. Craig Goldman (512) 463-0608
Rep. Will Metcalf (512) 463-0726
Rep. Tom Oliverson (512) 463-0661
Rep. John Wray (512) 463-0516
After that, please sign your No Gun Control Mandate and consider your most generous contribution to TXGR.
Your activism is already helping to keep “Red Flag” gun confiscation bottled up in committee.
And I am confident that with the continued support of pro-gun patriots like you, we can sentence HB 545 to the same fate.
Bonnen and Nevarez appear poised to do everything in their power to force this gun grab on law-abiding Texans in the waning hours of the Texas legislative session.
So please act fast.
For Texas and Liberty,
Chris McNutt
