NRA spends more money lobbying Texas legislators than in any other state​

The gun rights group spent more than $2 million lobbying the Texas Legislature in the last five years, according to Open Secrets.​

AUSTIN — The National Rifle Association has spent millions of dollars lobbying Texas state lawmakers as they chipped away at gun restrictions.

In the last five years, the NRA has shelled out more than $2 million to lobby the Texas Legislature — more than double what it spent in any other state, according to Open Secrets, a nonprofit that tracks money in politics.


Over that time, the GOP-led Legislature expanded rights for gun owners and sellers.

The biggest change came last year when lawmakers eliminated the need for a license and training to carry a handgun in public. At a signing ceremony, NRA leader Wayne LaPierre sat alongside Gov. Greg Abbott as the only nonelected official at the table.


“In this increasingly dangerous world, people want to be able to protect themselves, and thank God Texas is leading the way for the country,” LaPierre said.

The cozy relationship between the NRA and Texas Republican leaders is..........

Any organization that lobbies for relaxing gun laws is fine with me.

I am going to venture a guess that (guess who) ? What party and their racial demographics runs the cities are overwhelmed by gun violence. Are are also pushing this anti gun agenda. The same dem/lib controlled (black) city (NAME also: fill in the blank) has a huge homicide rate tied to gun deaths. Because that's how fucking ineffective, incompetent and useless the Democrats are. So keep voting for them, that will fix things!

The NRA is an advocate of legal and responsible gun ownership. They do not support the criminal and irresponsible use of firearms and if anyone would be against armed ghetto thugs in Democrat-controlled cities, it would be the NRA and its members.

The Pro-abortion lobbyists have killed far more people than gun lobbyists like the NRA. If you figure an average of 45,222 firearms deaths in the US every year times the 49 years since Roe vs. Wade, that would only be 2,215,878 firearms homicides or suicides in the last 49 years.

There have been roughly 50 million abortions during the last 49 years.

You can drive in any state with your driver's license; imagine if you had to get a driver's license for every state you ever drove through?!

The Constitution is your broad gun permit-- when your state issues you a CCW carry license, you ought to be able to carry your arms with you anywhere in the contiguous USA.

True that is. We should have a national concealed carry law. I hardly ever go the Minnesota or Illinois because those shitheads don't recognize my license.

Democrats run Chicago, enact anti gun laws. Explain the huge black on black homicide numbers there. Those homicides weren't committed by voodoo or shoehorns. It boggles the mind.
