Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker, a Republican, is speaking out in support of House Bill 2744 which would raise the minimum age allowed to buy certain semi-automatic weapons in Texas.
It has been a week of emotions and questions about how to move forward. Rep. Jeff Leach, who represents Allen, was emotional on the House floor.
“Increasingly, I am finding freedom in saying what I think, and so I am going to say something this morning. There is a lot we don’t know, but one thing I do know, is that this happening way too much, and it doesn’t have to be this way,” said Leach. But the way forward is unknown in Texas. While the House committee has voted to move the bill forward, it has not been scheduled for a full vote
“I think when a family member or a mother from Uvalde is begging you, has been in our state capitol day after day, after losing their son or their daughter, asking for this small change, we should give it to those families,” Parker added.for a debate and vote. The bill must also meet at 10 p.m. Tuesday deadline under the House Calendars Committee, which could determine when or if the bill advances to the full chamber.
The Calendars Committee is chaired by Rep. Dustin Burrows who voted against its advancement as a member of the select committee.
