Austin and Travis County are colluding to cancel all gun shows formerly held on city and county property. Likewise, they hope to require a special license (issued at the discretion of the city council) for gun shows held on private property. (This likely would effectively ban or price out of existence all gun shows in Austin and Travis county--the Austin city council acts like it's transplanted from the liberal side of San Francisco.)
For those of you not familiar, the city of Austin, situated in Travis County is very liberal and many are very anti RKBA. Today's Austin Un-American Statesman newspaper had a seething rant editorial calling for weapons banned in '94 to be heavily taxed. Also they called the NRA and gun owners pretty much every name in the book, either explicitly or by implication.
My point is that if politicians can have the unmitigated gall to try something like that in a state as gun-owning as Texas, no firearm, knife, bow and arrow, pea shooter, or even Dennis the Menace's sling shot will be safe if we do not continue to fight for our RKBA.
