We've all given our Legislators enough leeway to act (years, in fact), and they haven't. I sent the original version of the Second Amendment Preservation Act to my District Representative Max Thornberry, and my State Senator John Cornyn, and have received only the standard political appeasement response from Max, and nothing from John.
It is now time for all good Texans to stand up and be counted as coming to the aid of their country. It has to begin somewhere. The following is an adaptation of the 2d Amendment Preservation Act (as presented by the Tenth Amendment Center's Nullification Program).
I have changed the Title to read: The Rights of The People Preservation Act. If we could get this started, would you sign it?
RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE PRESERVATION ACT
