The shooting took place on the eve of the vote in the Senate in Texas precisely for the liberalization of weapons. In fact, the law that, if approved in the Senate, will allow every Texan over 21 to have a weapon without a license, controls and training has been approved by the House of Representatives of the State. Currently in Texas you need to obtain a license to be allowed to have a weapon, and an additional authorization to be able to circulate armed.
But the law, which its supporters called ” Constitutional Carry ” with a reference to the second amendment, wants to remove these restrictions, which 13 other states have already done.
Along with a majority of 84 Republican state deputies, seven Democrats also voted in favor of the bill, while only one Republican voted against.
