Nehemiah 4:18

First things first, we should note the final tally of comments about the proposal:
For: 1
Against: 22

Highlights:

• The Commission is claiming legislative authority it doesn't possess.

• When does "safety" become fascism?!?

• Nobody drinks alcohol at a gun show.

• The only person who spoke in favor of the rule change was the lobbyist for the person who requested it.

• Texas Carry has gotten 30,000+ responses; all opposed.

• "It's common sense that no one wants to attend a gun show that has no ammo."

• Texas Carry will ask for an injunction against the rule from the Attorney General.
• Author's Note: Hint, hint Ken....

•  Open Carry Texas vehemently opposes rule.
• TABC is already too involved with guns (bars and gas stations)
• TABC modeling itself after Federal A.T.F.

• "Stick to alcohol and let the legislators stick to guns."

• If you can't transfer onsite, it hurts small retailers.

• Alexandra Chase from MDA:
• Called MDA pro-second amendment.
• Half of gun related homicides involve alcohol.

• If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

• We can never prevent violence through law and regulation.
