TX Rep. Terry Meza Files Bill Making it Illegal to Defend Your Home with a Firearm
lsgr.live ^ | Nov. 17, 2020 | Lone Star Gun Rights

Democrats filed a barrage of gun control bills for the upcoming legislative session in Texas. Each bill attacks the constitutionally granted rights from various angles. From the "assault weapons" ban to the universal background checks and the red flag laws, each bill intends to undermine the self-defense capabilities of Texans.

However, a very worrying piece of legislation was introduced by Irving State Representative Terry Meza. HB 196 seeks to repeal the Castle Doctrine, preventing a homeowner from using firearms to defend their property.

She believes that homeowners are too eager to pull the trigger when facing armed home invaders.

"I'm not condoning stealing, it is against the law," Meza says, "but it's not an offense that is punishable by death."

~~~SNIP~~~

She clarified that homeowners would still be allowed to defend their lives, but not using firearms. Using a firearm to fight an intruder would lead to legal problems for the victim.

If Meza's bill becomes law, homeowners will be required to retreat from their homes when a criminal invades. They will be required to make sure the criminal is not hurt or face charges for defending themselves.

“I’m not condoning stealing, it is against the law,” Meza says, “but it’s not an offense that is punishable by death.”

All crime is theft in some form. Home invaders will be shot regardless of the determination of left wing snowflakes.

This is exactly the case in Mexico. He is facing demands by Mexicans living here (who are stealing) to pass this law so they don’t get killed.

Make it a crime to use a firearm to defend Rep. Terry Maza, her family and her property - ever.

Just for the fun of it, a Republican should propose a bill making it legal to shoot an elected official who proposes unconstitutional legislation.

England went this route and now it is illegal to harm an intruder even if the intruder harms you.
