Texas Bill Would Make Federal Firearms Laws Unenforceable [View all]
Texans have loved guns longer than the Lone Star State has been in the United States.
One Texas lawmaker is pushing to keep a possible federal ban on the purchase of certain firearms out of the state.
Rep. Steve Toth, R-The Woodlands, is authoring the Firearm Protection Act, which he says would "make any federal law banning semiautomatic firearms or limiting the size of gun magazines unenforceable within the state's boundaries."
The bill would also make it a felony to enforce any such federal law.
