Art Acevedo Is At His Gun Control Ways Yet Again

His comments are in reference to legislation which would allow Texans to carry a handgun open or concealed without a permit for one week after a natural disaster is declared in the state. The Dallas Morning News reports that the legislation was passed by state lawmakers and is now sitting on Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) desk.
Texas already allows the carry of long guns without a permit. This means a Texas resident not barred from gun possession can legally carry an a lever action rifle, an AR-15, a pump shotgun, etc., without any permit in places where firearms are no prohibited. But handgun owners are required to have a permit for open or concealed carry. State Rep. Dade Phelan (R-Beaumont) is pushing for the week-long, post-natural disaster carry period for handguns so Texans under duress can carry a gun for protection, regardless of whether they have a permit.
Acevedo said, “We experienced one of the worst disasters in Texas history during Harvey. The World watched as we all came together. This bill wasn’t needed then & isn’t needed now. This will embolden 20,000+ gang members & will not help LE. Let’s hope it isn’t signed.”
“The sky is falling, the sky is falling, the sky is falling. There’ll be blood running in the streets. Oh the humanity.”
He Art, why don’t you go shut down those 20,000+ gang members rather than spending your time on failed SWAT raids on innocent people?

What a window licking idiot. The gang bangers aren’t going to pay one bit of attention to the stupid law. This stinking jackwagon probably thinks that law is somehow a binding physical force that by its very issuance constrains and controls people’s actions. The gene pool needs some chlorine.

Still amazed that Texans – so proud of where they’re born and raised – would tolerate this shit. Perhaps Texas is becoming a lefty paradise.

Weirdly, Texas has had some of the most restrictive state laws against firearms.
What he meant by this statement is; this law could impede the free range prison guards in his employ.
Wouldn’t you rather that criminals would open carry so as to know who is armed? But, criminals don’t open carry, they are criminals and as such hiding their intent is paramount. Any cop knows this.
Do you know what would help LE the most? If everybody else were incarcerated or electronically tagged or dead. So let’s do that!

Art Acevedo: “Hell if people are allowed to exercise their rights without begging my permission first, they might get used to that! Texans will go around acting like…. Free Men, or something. Then where would we be? I won’t feel like I have control anymore!”

I’m afraid the demographic waves have Texas, Georgia, and Florida on the knife’s edge of becoming just that….whether it happens by election year 2020 is anybody’s guess.

I had a thought while reading Matt’s comment:
Isn’t it funny that gang members usually carry concealed? But the law abiding need a permit to do that and to carry openly (which gang members never do).
And, to Fred’s point: I don’t consider Texas to be a haven of good gun laws. I see it as marginally permissive, but not particularly gun-friendly.
