今年早些时候立法者放宽限制后,德克萨斯州的枪支拥有者现在可以合法地将枪支带入教堂、犹太教堂和学校。
尽管在该国最近一系列大规模枪击事件发生后,全国呼吁增加枪支控制措施,但德克萨斯州共和党人却转向了另一个方向,扩大了枪支许可的范围。从9月1日星期日开始,德克萨斯州枪支拥有者现在可以将武器带到整个孤星州的礼拜场所和校园。就在枪支法生效前几个小时,五个人被杀了还有21人在西德克萨斯州米德兰和敖德萨附近的一次大规模枪击中受伤。8月初,埃尔帕索又发生了一起大规模枪击事件。
美国国家步枪协会称赞德州枪支法的新放松是“非常成功的”,而枪支控制积极分子团体,如德州枪支意识组织,抨击这一举措使“学校和社区更加不安全”
德克萨斯州共和党人在上一次立法会议上通过了许多关于枪支的法律:
根据参议院第535号法案,得克萨斯人可以携带枪支进入教堂、犹太教堂或任何其他礼拜场所,除非财产所有者明确禁止带有张贴标志的枪支。根据《房屋法案》第302条,房东不能再根据租赁协议阻止房客或房客的客人携带火器。根据参议院第741号法案,房产所有者协会不能再禁止在出租房产上存放枪支。
众议院第1387号法案放宽了对公立和私立学校可以携带枪支的学校法警人数的限制。以前的法律规定,教育机构中每200名学生只能有一名武装元帅。与此同时,众议院第1143号法案放宽了对手枪执照持有人在停车场或学区拥有的其他财产中储存枪支弹药的限制。
从9月1日开始,枪支限制的进一步放宽允许寄养家庭储存枪支和弹药,并允许德州人在从灾区疏散时无证携带手枪。这项立法,众议院第1177号法案,是在哈维飓风后触发的,旨在允许枪支拥有者在自然灾害后无法无天的时期保护自己。
众议院法案121现在为持有执照的手枪拥有者进入一个禁止枪支的机构提供了辩护,只要枪支拥有者在主人要求时离开该机构。
德克萨斯州枪支法的放松仅在五人被谋杀在西得克萨斯州一个繁忙的娱乐中心外结束的枪击案中。“已经证实,这名活跃的枪手是在敖德萨的Cinergy被枪杀的。目前没有活跃的枪手。所有机构都在调查可能嫌疑人的报告,”米德兰警察局周六在一份公开声明中说。
Gun owners in the state of Texas can now legally bring firearms into churches, synagogues and schools after a loosening of restrictions passed by legislators earlier this year.
Despite national calls for added gun control measures in the wake of the country's most recent slew of mass shootings, Texas Republicans went the other direction and expanded locations where guns are permitted. Effective as of Sunday, September 1, Texas gun owners can now bring weapons into places of worship and onto school campuses across the Lone Star state. Just hours before the gun laws were set to take effect, five people were killed and 21 others were injured in a mass shooting in West Texas near Midland and Odessa. The murders followed another mass shooting, in El Paso, earlier in August.
The National Rifle Association lauded the new easing of Texas gun laws as "highly successful," while gun control activist groups such as Texas Gun Sense have blasted the move for making "schools and communities less safe."
Texas Republicans passed numerous laws during the state's last legislative session in regards to firearms:
Under Senate Bill 535, Texans can carry guns into churches, synagogues or any other places of worship unless the property owners explicitly prohibit firearms with posted signage. Under House Bill 302, landlords can no longer prevent tenants or guests of tenants from carrying firearms under the lease agreements. And under Senate Bill 741, property owner associations can no longer ban the storage of guns on rental properties.
House Bill 1387 has eased restrictions on the number of school marshals who can carry firearms for both public and private schools. Previous laws stated there could only be one armed marshal for every 200 students in an educational facility. Meanwhile, House Bill 1143 has eased restrictions on handgun license holders storing guns and ammunition in parking lots or other property owned by school districts.
Additional easing of firearm restrictions beginning September 1 allows foster homes to store guns and ammunition and lets Texans carry handguns without a license during evacuations from disaster areas. That legislation, House Bill 1177, was triggered in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and is intended to allow gun owners to protect themselves during lawless periods of time following natural disasters.
House Bill 121 now provides a defense for licensed handgun owners to enter an establishment that has banned firearms as long as the gun owner leaves the property when asked by the owner.
The Texas gun law easing goes into effect just hours after the murder of five people in a West Texas shooting that ended outside a busy entertainment center. "It has been confirmed that the active shooter was shot and killed at the Cinergy in Odessa. There is no active shooter at this time. All agencies are investigating reports of possible suspects," the Midland Police Department said in a public statement Saturday.
