Support NRA-ILA
While passage of HB 1927, NRA-backed constitutional carry legislation, dominated the news yesterday, another important NRA-supported measure received final passage in the Texas Senate with bipartisan support:
House Bill 1500, by Rep. Cole Hefner (R-Mount Pleasant) & Sen. Brandon Creighton (R-Conroe), passed by a vote of 23-7. This critical legislation establishes that firearm and ammunition manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, suppliers and retailers are essential businesses that shall not be prohibited by state or local officials from operating during a declared disaster or emergency.
This bill ensures that law-abiding Texans can exercise their constitutional right to purchase and own firearms during future disasters or emergencies, regardless of any statewide or local officeholder s personal politics.
