9. Bipartisan Safer Communities Act 2022 Is John Cornyn's

So often around here people do things and say things not with the intention of actually passing legislation but with the intention of making a political statement or messaging. That's not what we're doing here.

Law-abiding gun owners are not the problem. That was a red line for me. Unless a person is adjudicated mentally ill or is a violent criminal, no one's Second Amendment rights will be impacted by this legislation. Period.

This bill does, however, include important targeted reforms, complete with robust due process protections that I believe, in the end, will keep our children and our communities safe while respecting Second Amendment rights.
— Senator Cornyn

Oh my! The little weasel has taken on the next Senate Majority leader (not) and former Texas Attorney General? Whoa

Also THIS from the story link above

The judge, though, found Louisiana, Mississippi, and Utah failed to establish they had standing to challenge the rule and he declined to block its enforcement in their jurisdictions. His order remains in effect until June 2 pending further litigation.


The injunction ONLY applies to Texas?

Son of a biscuit eater.
