A well respected friend of mine and political figure in Austin, Jerry Patterson, states from one of my writings, that we’ve always had Red Flag laws here in Texas. He is correct, but it hasn’t been until recently, that we’ve seen in other states, just how these Red Flag Laws can be abused. While Jerry Patterson, states that no one has paid attention to these laws and no one has complained of these laws in the past, we need to start paying attention and insure, especially here in Texas, that these laws don’t become abused by the system.
Why you may ask? And why now?
Things have been heating up again and our Federal Government has renewed their efforts on gun control. Many of these spineless elected officials are going after anything that looks scary and have changed the terminology from Automatic, which has been outlawed since the 1930’s, To Semi- Auto…Now pay attention, Semi-auto is just about anything you own that’s not a bolt or lever action weapon. That’s our .22 caliber rifle sitting in the closet, that’s any pistol you may own that’s magazine fed, that’s any rifle that feeds the next round automatically. Folks, if we don’t start paying attention to what’s going on in other states now, it’s just a matter of time before it happens here in Texas.
Look at the past elections, Beto almost beat Cruz, All of our Republicans here in Houston were replaced by Liberal Democrats. Cities and towns can and will try and ban certain weapons within the city limits as we have seen in other states. All that has to happen to make this a reality, is we end up with the wrong elected people in our city councils, the wrong judges, and even the wrong county officials. The wrong Sheriff can really put us all in jeopardy. The wrong people in Austin can really deliver a blow to us at the State Level. After all, when it comes right down to it, it is a States Rights issue.
It’s well past time to pay attention to what’s really going on around us. These people are trying to change the meaning of the Second Amendment. Think it can’t happen? Look around you and see what’s taking place in other states.
I’m just a Dumb ole Biker from Alvin, Texas… Be Safe and God Bless!
