Texas just voted to lower the poll tax on the Right to carry a gun......democrats, just like they did under jim crow, refused to lower the poll tax....
In Texas state Senate, Only Democrats voted against lowering fees for permitted concealed handguns - Crime Prevention Research Center
By a 26 to 5 margin, the Texas state Senate has voted to lower the fee for getting a concealed handgun permit from $140 to $40. Renewal fees will also fall from $70 to $40.
Texas’ permit fee is the second highest for any right-to-carry state, behind only Illinois. While all 26 Republicans voted to lower the fee, Democrats were divided with 6 voting to lower the fee and 5 voting “no.”
This is consistent with the actions in other state legislatures where Democrats have opposed lower concealed handgun permit fees. The only difference here is that a slight majority of Democrats actually supported a lower fee.
