NRA-ILA is counting down the legislativelumps of coal that anti-Second Amendment lawmakers in Texas are leaving in gun owners' stockings this year.

The 2021 Texas legislative session is less than a month away.Please support NRA-ILA as we work withgun ownersto STANDYOUR GROUND on your Second Amendmentrights at theCapitol in Austinnext year!

Next up:House Bill 238 by Rep. TerryMeza (D-Irving), which repeals thestate firearms preemption law, allowingcities and counties to regulate gunsand ammunition in any manner they see fit.

Municipalities like Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Houston, and San Antonio could be free to enactgun bans, magazine limits, licensing and registration schemes, andprohibitions on carrying firearmson your person or in your car.Only five states -- CT, HI, MA, NJ & NY, allbastions of gun control -- have no preemption protection.Preemption ensures uniformity in state gun laws so that honestcitizens aren't subject toconfusing and conflicting localrestrictions or denied their Second Amendment rights based on where they live, work or travel.

The importance of preemption was highlighted back in March during the early stages of COVID-19, as city and county officials adopted emergency ordersclosing most businesses, including gun stores.Attorney General Ken Paxon ruled inOpinion No. KP-0296that these local orders could notregulate or restrict the sale of firearms, and he relied heavily on Texas'firearms preemption statute in his opinion.

NRA-ILA has worked nearlyevery legislativesession to improve Texas' firearms preemption law and furtherprotect your rights.Wewilloppose any attempt to repeal or weaken it in the 2021 legislative session.
