On Tuesday afternoon the bill was up for a critical second reading vote in the Texas House. State Rep. Jeff Leach , the House sponsor, explained what the Bill is and is not. "I want to make very clear. Members, this bill does not…change any existing federal or state law regarding firearms. This simply adheres to existing federal law, and there are new requirements to report this data to NICS. This bill is not a red flag law. This bill, again, does not modify any current federal or state requirements regarding who can or cannot hold a firearm, but importantly, members.
State Rep. Leach's district includes the town of Allen, the location of the most recent mass shooting in Texas. He mentioned the attack at the outlet mall before the Tuesday vote. "Members, after the shooting in my district in Allen, Texas, last Saturday, conversations, of course, in this building, as they always have, have continued relating to how we protect and fiercely guard our Second Amendment rights, but also keep our community safe," said Leach.
