The City of San Antonio wants to take the Second Amendment away?
The City of San Antonio is looking into disarming citizen Texans.
The Public Safety Committee voted Tuesday to explore five possible avenues for regulation despite facing what could be an uphill battle in passing such governance. Councilmen on the Committee who voted for gun control were Clayton Perry (District 10), John Courage (District 9), Ana Sandoval (District 7), William Cruz Shaw (District 2). The lone NO vote for the Constitutional Second Amendment was Greg Brockhouse (District 6).
City Attorney Edward Guzman informed the Committee members that while state law preempts most local ordinances, there are ways to get gun regulations passed, including through the city zoning laws, conditions for releasing defendants from jail on bond, conditions of procurement of city business, conditions for city incentives, and the pursuit of state legislative action.
How are law abiding citizens supposed to protect themselves from criminals? Will citizens be forced to break the law to do so?
Sutherland Springs, Texas is just minutes from San Antonio, don’t they know that it was an armed neighbor who shot the perpetrator and not law enforcement?
This is to disarm citizens to control them has been attempted by progressives for decades. Consider rising up and writing the Mayor and Council to say no. Only the Councilman from District 6 is currently standing against this government overreach.
Remember, if you need the police this second to protect your family, they are always just 10 to 15 minutes away!
This is a very bad idea, progressives what to disarm citizens so that they control its citizens for decades.
Interesting that Rivard Report uses a picture of automatic weapons, not a picture of our shotguns, or hunting rifles.
