Grieder: As Biden urges gun safety, Texas Republicans may approve permitless carry By Erica Grieder
Another week, another mass shooting in America. On Thursday, the news came from Bryan, Texas; a gunman killed one person and wounded five others at a cabinet manufacturing plant, then wounded a state trooper while fleeing the scene.
It would be naive to expect such a tragedy to lead to some kind of sea change. But it should give Texas voters a moment’s pause, at least, especially with state lawmakers on track to expand gun rights this session.
This might well be the year that permitless carry comes to Texas, for one thing. Another measure, which has the support of Gov. Greg Abbott, would make Texas a “Second Amendment Sanctuary State,” meaning that state agencies would effectively be directed to ignore any new federal rules and legislation that may come down the pike.
