Legislature to decide gun ownership in Texas says senator
A self proclaimed law and order senator won tentative approval of a bill to state that the Legislature not cities should determine gun ownership in Texas. Sen J E Brown said cities passing gun bans would trigger state action. Amendments sought to protect city power in emergencies and regulate possession and use of firearms. The measure faces further votes.
