June 2021: Republican Governor Abbott declares Texas 'The Sanctuary State for the 2nd Amendment'
Less than a year ago, Texas Republican Gregory Abbott rubber-stamped approval of seven measures in the Lone Star State, vowing that Texas would be the leader in defending the 2nd Amendment.
He declared that Texas would be known as 'The Sanctuary State for the Second Amendment' making it legal for anyone 21 or older to carry a handgun in public without a license, but common sense gun control measures – such as universal background checks; assault weapon bans; and red flag laws, which allow police to temporarily confiscate firearms from people who present a clear danger to themselves or their community – are wholly unconstitutional. Yup, wholly unconstitutional.
Look how great that worked out for the elementary school this week.
