Instead of Listening to Texans, Gov. Greg Abbott Knocks Out Another Category of Weapons

Following last session’s elimination of the “illegal knives” category, including Bowie knives and daggers, Texas once again jumps the gun on passing up smarter laws regulating guns in favor of expanding the limits of open carry for other weapons.

According to a 2018 poll, 55% of Texas voters support stricter gun laws, and 93% believe background checks should be required to buy a gun, with a majority of gun owners supporting universal background checks at 92%.

Here’s hoping that in this day and age, Texas doesn’t return to the Wild West under Gov. Greg Abbott’s rule.

Rather than attend to constituents, policymakers, and advocate groups’ call to regulate access to guns, Gov. Greg Abbott would rather place loose laws on other classes of ammunition.
