I see some volunteers of Moms Demand in the Gallery. Open carry and poll watcher bills at polling sites really has me concerned after all the voter intimidation last year across Texas.

Can't afford shoes for kids or permit to carry but, will buy gun and holster #HB1927 Rep Schaefer.

All I can think of during this hearing is victims of gun violence. (Reps wearing red or red ribbons showing support of those victims). I am thinking of Philandro Castille shot by police for having a gun in his car. #EndGunViolence

Amendment 3 fails
Thank you .@VoteAnnJohnson & .@jasminefor100 for trying. Rep Schaefer is stuck on passing #HB1927 with no adm. So frustrating & he is just affirming his confirmation bias 'guns are @ conservative worship level'.
#DemCastTX #OpposeHB1927 ImageImageImage
Amendment 6, Rep King's to #HB1927, I swear conservatives are going to next issue consealed handguns in utero. This Adm allows 18 yo to carry?

.@RafaelAnchia .@ChrisGTurner .@NicoleCollier95 Texans know why Rep Schaefer doesn't want to exclude white supremacist from permitless carry.

TY .@jasminefor100 & @raylopezfortx
for trying with adm 14 to HB1927.

'Permitless Carry' in courthouses is dangerous. There are no metal detectors in our Live Oak County courthouse. #txlege #txpol

What does #ForThePeopleAct HR1 do for American voters?

This will be my hat tip to Rep John Lewis, may you rest in power Sir.

Let's advocate #GoodTrouble and #PassFTPA HR1.

#DemCastTX #CommonDefense
#Indivisible #FreshVoicesRise
Across 10 titles, this historic legislation would make it easier to vote in federal elections, end congressional gerrymandering, overhaul federal campaign finance laws,
brennancenter.org/our-work/polic… Image
increase safeguards against foreign interference, strengthen gov ethics rules, & more. Most reforms would be implemented for the Nov 2022 general election, with the exception of some redistricting & public financing changes that would go into effect later.
