Summary
Another poll from UT/Texas Tribune found that 57% of Texans strongly support background checks on all gun purchases.Republicans, who call the bill "constitutional carry," argue that the measure puts Texas in line with at least 20 other states where handguns can be carried without a permit and appropriately expands gun rights under the Second Amendment.Rep. Matt Schaefer, a Tyler Republican and author of the bill, praised the compromise reached between members of the House and Senate, which was sent to Abbott last month.
