Texas lawmakers will take a closer look at firearm-related proposals this upcoming legislative session.
Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan formed a new, 13-member Select Committee on Community Safety. The committee will have jurisdiction over all proposals for community safety relating to the possession, use, sale and transfer of firearms and ammunition, and associated criminal offenses and penalties.
“The Texas House intends to do everything in our power to keep children and classrooms in our state safe,” said Phelan. “While there are many factors related to this wide-ranging issue that our chamber will discuss during the legislative session, such as mental health, social media and school safety, a necessary component to this conversation will be related to firearm safety.”, where 19 students and two adults were killed by an 18-year-old gunman.
"I think it is important that we have a sincere, respectful, serious, conversation about these issues that have happened over the last 5 years,” said State Rep. Justin Holland, R-Heath.
