Ye Olde Boating Accident

[Wombat of Doom]

Apparently, someone put this into the TX legislature https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/88R/billtext/pdf/HC00054I.pdf#navpanes=0

I really do not know what else to say but, take a look.

"The Texas House of Representatives and Senate submit the notification to the federal government, the current presidential administration, and any future administration that any attempt to buyback, confiscate, or register some or all firearms, accessories, and ammunition will not be possible or necessary in the counties of Hunt, Hopkins, VanZandt, and possibly other counties due to this series of alleged boating accidents."

Nice to see a legislature with a sense of humor.

Fun read. It'll probably draw a "yo mama" counter-bill requiring a detailed written report to law enforcement of any boating accident which results in loss of any firearm (including air rifles) or any quantity of ammunition of any caliber; failure to file said report to be a class C felony.

I hope they get a vote on it.
