Measure would make any federal firearms legislation passed by Congress or approved by Presidential executive order unenforceable in Texas.
A Texas lawmaker says he plans to file the Firearms Protection Act, which would make any federal laws that may be passed by Congress or imposed by Presidential order which would ban or restrict ownership of semi-automatic firearms or limit the size of gun magazines illegal in the state, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Republican Rep. Steve Toth says his measure also calls for felony criminal charges to be filed against any federal official who tries to enforce the rule in the state.
“If a federal official comes into the state of Texas to enforce the federal executive order, that person is subject to criminal prosecution,” Toth told 1200 WOAI’s Joe Pags Tuesday. He says his bill would make attempting to enforce a federal gun ban in Texas punishable by a $50,000 fine and up to five years in prison.
Toth says he will file his measure after speaking with the state’s Republican Attorney General, Greg Abbott, who has already vowed to fight any federal measures which call for restrictions on weapons possession.
Toth concedes that he would welcome a legal fight over his proposals.

that’s a great article
The sociopathic fed bosses don’t care as they refuse to put orders in writing. They are throwing down the junior personnel in the workforce. Or throwing them under the bus. The law breaking feds need to be charged with an offense that precludes them ever touching a gun again, and they need to be charged with crimes that permanently kill their security clearances.
