How many decibels can convey the pain of a grieving father? How many can cut through the silent indifference at the Texas Capitol? How many does it take to stir Texans who haven’t yet lost a child to gun violence to join in calls for change?[San Marcos, TX] [Hays County news] Opinions San Marcos News, San Marcos Record [Texas State]

The shootings have called into question Republican support for allowing more people access to weapons to stem violence and demonstrate support for constitutional rights.

A bipartisan bill was introduced in Texas to raise the minimum age to buy assault weapons. It shouldn’t have taken nearly this long.

Republicans in the Texas House of Representatives have successfully stalled a bill that would raise the purchasing age for AR-style firearms if signed into law.

Rare momentum in the Texas Capitol for a tougher gun law has flickered out, days after a mass shooting near Dallas left eight people dead.

A Texas bill that would raise the age to legally purchase semi-automatic rifles lost its momentum, and was left off the Texas House’s agenda ahead of a key deadline.

The measure would ban Texans from selling, renting, leasing or giving assault-style rifles above .22 caliber to anyone under age 21.

Time is ticking for a bill raising the minimum age to purchase certain semi-automatic rifles in Texas to be heard on the House floor for a debate and vote.
