GOP Senator Springer Files 11 Bills On Gun Rights

[#TexasPolitics365]


State Senator Drew Springer has filed 11 bills in this legislative session protecting and expanding Texans' gun rights.

The 11 bills, the most bills filed by state senator in modern Senate history, said Springer, were filed because "Standing up for the 2nd Amendment has always been one of my top priorities," he wrote in a Facebook post. 

"Time and time again, we’ve seen how harmful government regulations have limited firearm producers and owners," the Weatherford Republican explained.

The bills would establish Constitutional carry, allow Texans to manufacture, sell and use firearms inside Texas, and give Texas sanctuary state status. 

Springer says many of the bills he filed were written to "stand up to the federal government’s overreach and fight for the 10th Amendment."

Rachel Malone, founder of Texas Firearms Freedom, praised Springer and bill co-sponsor Sen. Dawn Buckingham for the legislation.

"Glad to see a Constitutional Carry bill filed in the Senate (SB 540, joint authored by Sen. Dawn Buckingham) ....along with these other bills that we are prioritizing:

- 2A Sanctuary State - companion to HB 635
- Texas Firearm Freedom bill - companion to HB 915
- Suppressor Freedom bill - companion to HB 957
- Domestic Violence Victim Protection - companion to HB 1094"
