A newly elected Republican state legislator in Texas has proposed legislation making it illegal to enforce a federal gun ban in the state.
State Rep. Steve Toth (R-The Woodlands) has introduced legislation that would allow Texas police officers to arrest federal law enforcement agents who attempt to enforce any federal bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines within the state. The legislation is a preemptive strike by Toth against proposals by Vice President Joe Biden's gun task force that are expected to be released on Wednesday. Toth's legislation is modeled after similar legislation that was introduced in Wyoming last week.
"We can no longer depend on the federal government and this administration to uphold a Constitution that they no longer believe in," Toth said in a statement. "The liberties of the people of Texas and the sovereignty of our State are too important to just let the federal government take them away. The overreach of the federal administrations executive orders that are do not align with the Constitution, are not very popular here in Texas."
