“Too many lives taken with gun violence in America.” — Dean
“Decrease the shootings and homicides statewide.” — Ramiro G.
“Everyone is guaranteed the right to own guns, it as a right does not divorce someone from responsibility. Too often those who scream for gun rights take no ownership of the consequences when rights are abused. I truly believe there would be more cooperation from those wanting more gun control if those fighting against it did more to prevent those abuses.” — Susan B.
“At minimum, all gun owners should be licensed and insured. To be licensed, they have to pass a safety and education course/exam including a background check. We do the same thing for cars and if there’s something that Texans love more than guns, it’s cars. This seems like common sense to me.
Bring back the assault rifle ban and ban on bump stocks and other aftermarket mods. Bring back laws restricting access to gun ownership if convicted of a violent crime including domestic violence.
I’m torn on conceal vs. open carry. But regardless, there are some places that should be weapon-free like schools, churches, large events, etc.
Definitely open to additional safety laws! But these would be a good start and compromise for all sides so we can both have the Second Amendment and our right to life (liberty and pursuit of happiness)! ” — J. Kirby
“I believe people should be allowed to have guns for self-defense and for sporting purposes like hunting and competitive shooting. No one needs rapid continuous fire automatic weapons that have the only purpose of killing lots of people in a short amount of time.” — Marian M.
“Copy Puerto Rico’s gun measures and control laws that are way better than Texas.” — Joanne R.
