Backdoor Gun Confiscation Bill is Moving in Texas

[Swordsmyth]

While grassroots gun activists have had their hands full with establishment House Speaker Dennis Bonnen and his successful campaign to kill pro-gun legislation, gun control is surprisingly on the move in Texas.
Last week, HB 545 was voted out of the Criminal Jurisprudence Committee 7-2 with three Republicans voting alongside four Democrats. This bill was authored by anti-gun Homeland Security and Public Safety Chairman Poncho Nevarez, who played a significant role in killing Texas’s Constitutional Carry bill HB 357.
In an email, Lone Star Gun Rights called for its members to oppose this bill.
According to LSGR’s Senior Editor Derek Wills, HB 545 “would make it a crime for any Texan to lend, sell, or gift their firearm to anyone who has ever received “mental health” treatment by court order, even if they are ignorant of that fact.” The gun rights activists adds that courts in Texas “can order mental health treatment without any official diagnosis or even the commission of a crime.”

In its current form, it's basically unenforceable. It makes it a crime to sell weapons to someone you know is a crazy person. But unless you're their doctor or some $#@!, how the hell would you know? I guess if the person buying weapons was AF or Oyarde you would have a "reasonable cause to believe" they're crazy, but otherwise most people come across as fairly normal.

LSGR’s Senior Editor Derek Wills should probably read the bill.

Texas sucks ass...New Jersey South.

Seems like this backdoor deal making template is latest liberal tactic by keeping things out of sight of conservative handlers. Dems/RINOs are working this new strategy effectively.

No cameras, no conservative handlers: Trump wheels and deals with Democrats

You can thank the Bush family syndicate for that mostly.

Replacement Voters / Future Demoncrats are on their way to Texas right now to make sure this bill, or one of the next iterations of it goes thru.

Looks like "knowingly" is used a lot in the bill
