There's some movement in the Texas Legislature

[CatWoman]

BREAKING: In a SHOCKING move, two Texas Republicans just joined the Democrats to PASS the “Raise The Age” gun control bill out of committee in the Texas Legislature!

That's right – TEXAS!

3. Abbott veto coming?

Raising the age to 21 is the very least common sense measure.

13. I'm wondering about an Abbott veto, too.

He has never shown any signs of being willing to listen to reason on this issue, so I am not sure what to expect. Fingers crossed!

14. Reverse the numbers and he will happily sign it!!

17. If you have to be 21 to buy a beer

I think waiting until 21 to purchase an AR-15 sounds reasonable.

4. TY & Cooper.. I hope it makes it all

the way.. for Humanity's sake!

At Least!

5. Great news!

Hope more progress will be forthcoming....

6. Passed out of committee

Not a whole lot of movement, but movement it is. The Women are Second Class Citizens Brigade didn't get abortion criminalized overnight, but they kept at it until they succeeded. Let's be at least as dauntless as those assholes, and for a far better cause.

8. The MOMS are scary?

Not the thought of your child’s face blown off. That doesn’t scare him enough to do SOMETHING besides prayers?

[Conjuay]

11. Yeah,the mom's are scary

The fact that you guys have done JACK SHIT is certainly a hell of a lot scarier

9. In the bathroom stalls perhaps. I expect nothing from TX GOP. I hope the NRA is freaking; doubt it.

10. GOP better see this:

Democrats have abortion, Trump, and gun control in their favor going into '24. All the GOP has is "woke"..whatever that is. Mess around and see the Dems control all three branches of government next year. THAT is what's freaking out the GOP.

12. I hope

they also included they have to get permit, and training and pass a test.

15. TREAT IT LIKE DRIVING

THEY MUST HAVE INSURANCE TOO

[Rebl2]

16. I agree
