Bills limiting access to guns and ammunition are not expected to move forward. Things like requiring safe storage of firearms, background checks and tougher criminal penalties for gun crimes, have traction.
Most of those who came to the House Select Committee on Community Safety on April 18 were there to support more than a dozen gun control bills on the agenda."I think most people do agree that universal background checks would help. I think that most people do agree that extreme risk protection orders would help. And I think there's a lot of people who agree that civilians don't need to be carrying a weapon that is designed to massacre people," said Pruner.
"I could lose my license if I do something reckless, others should be held accountable in other areas such as gun safety," said Biel.This comes as the Texas Department of Public Safety is reminding people that safe gun storage saves lives. FOX 7's Kelly Saberi has more."What worries me about the Bill is that there is no definition about what is reckless," said Mike Belsick."It solves nothing. It gives you a false sense. Oh, I’ve done something. No, you haven't.
"We're not trying to up end the apple cart. We're just trying to fix things. It's a damn shame that the Republicans in the Senate don't want to fix things. I'm encouraged, at least by what's happening in the House," said State Sen. Roland Gutierrez San Antonio.Round Rock students stage walk-out to protest gun violence
"The irony here is that everyone testifying for and against these various bills, we all want the same thing. We want these shootings to stop. However, there's a fundamental difference in how we can achieve that, and we just fundamentally disagree that more legislation, more regulation is the answer," said C.J Grisham with Open Carry Texas.
