In the pathos following the recent mass murders, much has been written about making changes to legislation that would have meaningful impact on these tragedies. Ron Faucheux’s opinion of June 6, “Is consensus on guns possible,” covers Second Amendment rights, tradeoffs protecting gun rights vs. limiting gun ownership, federal and state regulatory policies and the
HOUSTON, Texas (KWTX) – Gun control group Change The Ref on Thursday rolled out what it called the “NRA Children’s Museum,” a mile-long convoy of school buses that drove by the offices of Senator Ted Cruz, who the group claimed is “the leading recipient of gun lobbyist funding in the State of Texas with $749,000.”
Being our semi-regular weekly survey of what’s goin’ down in the several states where, as we know, the real work of governmentin’ gets done and where the people are many and their hands are all empty.

Why don’t we have gun control? It is because our Supreme Court, or, more correctly, five Republicans on our Supreme Court, legalized bribery. Not the bribery of store clerks or bank tellers or people who work for airlines. You go to jail for that. Not the bribery of judges or police or people who work
Last month, Congress passed its first federal gun safety measures in almost 30 years, a significant breakthrough on an issue that had long seemed intractable.

I often get asked about what could have been. If I hadn’t met with constituents at a Congress on Your Corner event on Jan. 8, 2011. If I hadn’t been shot in the head, leading to partial paralysis, aphasia, and a decade-long journey to regain the ability to walk and talk. Would I now be a

By Brandon Wolf I’ll never forget the first sounds of relentless, booming gunshots. The bright strobe lights bouncing across the dark room. The smell of blood and smoke that filled the air. On a June night in 2016, a gunman opened fire at Pulse Nightclub, a safe space for my friends and me. And a
WASHINGTON, July 13 (Reuters) – A surveillance video showing a long delay by Texas police and federal agents before they acted to stop the mass shooting at Uvalde’s Robb Elementary School shows that their response was “indefensible,” U.S. Senator Ted Cruz said on Wednesday.

When the U.S. Supreme Court declined to block a Texas law last year that deputized private citizens to enforce a new six-week abortion ban, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) vowed to use the same legislative tactic to prevent gun violence. That idea came to life this week when he signed a bill that establishes a
