The rally is being organized by Alex
Jones, Director of Texans for Freedom, and is sponsored
by Texas
State Rep. Suzanna Hupp, R-Killeen. Confirmed speakers include:
Senator Jerry Patterson, Bastrop County Commissioner
Don Loucks, Peaceable
Texans for Firearm Rights President Paul Velte, Students for
the Second Amendment Executive Director Damaso Torres and more to
be announced.
It is imperative that you and your family take time out to defend
the State as well as Federal Constitution from gun-grabbing attack
dogs of the establishment. Examples of such attacks are:
- the March 25th, 2001 Austin American Statesman
article, "Disarming Argument" called four separate times
for a complete ban on handguns and for confiscation.
- Texas State Senator Jerry Patterson, in testimony given on March
20, 2001 before the House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence,
said that, in every case from Australia to the UK to Canada to
the US, when you have registration you always have
confiscation.
- Gun manufacturers and their incredibly well-made self-defense
products have had hundreds of nuisance lawsuits brought against
them, designed to, in the words of Andrew Cuomo, former Secretary
of HUD, "give the gun manufacturers a death by a thousand
cuts."
And this is only the beginning of the organized racketeering against
the Second Amendment. In Texas, bills like HB
193, HB
209 and HB
1332 would restrict people from as old as 18-21 from being able
to even touch a handgun, rifle or shotgun. The goal of the gun grabbers:
destroy the Second Amendment by outlawing parents from taking their
children hunting or shooting.
Bills like HB
446 would require all homeowners to lock their guns inside of
a gun safe or to have a trigger lock on them in the home, car and
business, rendering the firearm useless for self-defense, not to
mention the fact that SWAT teams will now have an excuse to raid
law-abiding citizens’ homes to "search for unlocked guns,"
(as they have been doing in CA since they instituted their "safe
storage" law).
And don’t forget, to complete the registration of your guns they
need to shut down the gun shows so that there cannot be private
sales that aren’t tracked by the FBI. They need to know where to
pick them up. Those bills are HB
367, HB
404 and HB
635 to shut down private sales at gun shows. By the way, they
passed these laws a few years ago in California, and now they have
a bill to ban anyone selling or giving away their private firearms
anywhere (even to family members).
