Texas Senator Introduces Gun Sanctuary Bill
From The National Sentinel:
Sen. Bob Hall (R-Edgewood) filed Senate Bill 378 (SB378) on January 17. The bill would prohibit any state government agency, personnel or public funds from enforcing any federal gun control regulation or law “if the federal statute, order, rule, or regulation or international law imposes a prohibition, restriction, or other regulation, such as a capacity, size, or configuration limitation, that does not exist under the laws of this state.â€
Houston PD To Stop No-Knock Raids
This is a positive for everyone. No-knock raids put police in more danger as well as the suspects and bystanders, especially in states where gun ownership is common. More police departments should consider this kind of reform.
From NPR:
Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo says his department will stop serving “no knock” search warrants, weeks after a raid on a house left two married suspects dead and five officers injured. Acevedo also reiterated that the officer who led that raid may face criminal charges.
“The no-knock warrant’s going to go away, kind of like leaded gasoline in our city,” Acevedo said. He added that raids that stem from those warrants would only be used in very limited cases — and that they would not be used to nab people suspected of dealing small amounts of drugs.
NJ Attacks 1st Amendment To Kill 2nd Amendment
From Reason.com:
A federal lawsuit that Defense Distributed and Second Amendment groups filed late Tuesday is challenging New Jersey’s attempt to rid the internet of information about how to make 3D-printable firearms.
The First Amendment lawsuit is a response to New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal’s ongoing campaign to restrict firearm-related manufacturing instructions, which escalated to a threat of criminal prosecution on February 2.
Texas Proposes Dangerous Red Flag Law
From Gun Owners of America:
Governor Abbott announced his “emergency†agenda items Tuesday and included school safety with an emphasis on “mental health.†While no bills have been specified yet, this could easily include items such as “red flag†type legislation that we have been fighting all across the country that allows for gun confiscation simply because a judge decides that you might misuse them in the future.
Texas Man Defends Self From 5 Men With AK
From The Epoch Times:

Three of the men were shot dead, with one of the deceased being left in front of the house.
Austin Fined For Violating Texas Carry Law
From Breitbart:
In the January 17, 2019, ruling, Judge Lora J. Livingston explained that the Plaintiff was able to show that open carry was refused on April 4, 2016, April 6, 2016, April 12, 2016, July 1, 2016, July 29, 2016, and September 7, 2016. Judge Livingston ruled that the Defendants did not prove why City Hall should be treated differently among other public areas in Texas, writing, “Defendants did not meet their burden to establish an exception to Section 411.209(a) on any of the dates†that open carry was refused.
“Red Flag” Law Proposed In Texas
From Gun Dynamics:
Texas lawmakers will consider anti-gun bills including “red flag†laws, mandatory background checks for all private handgun sales at gun shows, and new regulations on 3-D printed firearms in the next year’s legislative session.
Interstate Purchase Ban Challenged
From Guns.com:
The legal challenge came from a Washington, D.C. couple — Andrew and Tracey Hanson — who tried to buy handguns from a federally licensed firearms dealer in Texas but could not due to federal law adopted in the 1960s. Together with FFL holder Frederic Mance, the couple joined with gun rights advocates of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms in taking the government on, arguing that since the advent of federal background check systems the law makes little sense.
Constitutional Carry Moving Forward
From The Truth About Guns:
State Rep. Jonathan Stickland has filed a bill to allow “Constitutional Carry†— to let any Texan who legally owns a handgun carry it openly or concealed without first getting a permit— across the state.
After years of unsuccessful attempts, supporters of legislation that would allow people to carry concealed handguns without a permit in South Dakota anticipate revived prospects for the conservative prize once GOP Gov.-elect Kristi Noem takes office in January.

New DD CEO A Mystery
From ArsTechnica:
Prior to 2015, Paloma Heindorff had never even shot a gun. But last month, on September 25, the nearly three-year employee of Defense Distributed officially stepped into one of the most high profile firearms’ related positions in the US: director of that same 3D-printed guns activist organization.
Texas AG Allows Armed Election Judges
From Bearing Arms:
Two things tell us that we live in a free society: elections and private firearm ownership. Neither of those things really takes place in despotic societies. Some might create the trappings of democracy, but it’s funny how often the party in power wins those elections despite widespread opposition. None, however, are big on guns.
