Short-barrel gun bill, school security, bill on social media & kids and more | Midland’s terrible D.A. – Pratt on Texas, 4/26/2023

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: Gun bills, protecting children on-line, armed guards in public schools, and more including a Speaker, who has not moved the House to get much done, is talking about vacation and going surfing!

Speaker Dade Phelan

A Listener Club member from Burkburnett asks me to explain HB 2705 on short-barrel firearms. I spoke with the author, Rep. Richard Hayes, and explain why this bill exists and why its good.

I also comment on HB13 which pays school folk a stipend to be armed and HB3, the big school security bill.

And in the media malpractice file we have a big Austin American-Statesman piece whining about how Uvalde gun-control backers had to wait so long, just like everyone else, to testify before a committee. Funny how the entire story tries, and fails, to lay it on Republicans including the committee chairman but carries the truth within: The wait was completely a function of the Democrats chubbing a bill on the House floor last week.

Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.

Midland’s terrible District Attorney strikes again and fails again. Voters need to sweep this woman out of office soon.

Cuban commies run out of fuel, have to cancel May Day parade!
