| My name is Michelle Prescott, and I'm the founder of Texan Gun Rights. | |
| And I'm Tammy Koontz, and I am the co-founder of Texan Gun Rights. | |
| This event here today, this is about getting our legislators to do what they need to do. | |
| They need to get these bills out of the committee, onto the House floor, so that we can have a vote. | |
| HB 700, which is the open carry bill. | |
| We have Senate Bill 182, which is the campus carry bill, and also HB 3218, which is really a biggie because that one, in a sense, would null and void all gun-free zones across the state of Texas. | |
| My name is Drew Sprayer from Munster, Texas, House District 68. | |
| I authored House Bill 3218, which deals with CHLs anywhere. | |
| Meaning, if you have your CHL, you should be able to carry concealed anywhere in the state of Texas. | |
| We see the new technology, the 3D printable gun technology. | |
| Yes. | |
| Are you familiar with that? | |
| Yes. | |
| OK, now do you think that's covered under the Second Amendment? | |
| I think so. | |
| I mean, again, it's an infringement issue. | |
| And he's free to do anything else he wants with that technology. | |
| When it comes to the 3D printable firearm, technology needs to keep up with what's happening and the police, they need to keep up with what's going on. | |
| And they can't keep up, and that's on them. | |
| What are they going to do? | |
| It was downloaded like 100,000 times, and it's on 23,000 different websites. | |
| I mean, there's no way of stopping it now. | |
| The printable is so new right now that we don't really know what's going on. | |
| But my understanding is that that is actually going to be more expensive to actually do that at home than to go buy it again at a gun store. | |
| Well, were you aware that Austin City Council Member Mike Martinez said in a recent speech that he wants to make the gun ban legitimate? | |
| First of all, to the gentleman that's dying for attention, someone needs to inform him that there is no gun ban currently. | |
| But, because of the work that we're doing here today, We will make your side legitimate shortly. | |
| I saw the YouTube of that and it made me want to get in my car and drive down here and just try and talk some sense into him. | |
| But at that point when a person is that far gone, there really is no talking any sense to them. | |
| He can't do that. | |
| That was settled in 1795. | |
| We've already fought for that gun right. | |
| I think it's silly. | |
| I think everywhere you look from the FBI statistics to Just comparing places that have gun bans shows that they don't work. | |
| Councilman Martinez needs to focus his attention on relieving traffic off of I-35 and keep his hands off of our Second Amendment rights. | |
| We want to vote now! | |
| We want to vote now! | |
| We want to vote! | |
| We want to vote! | |
| We want to vote now! | |
| We want to vote now! | |
| Now did you know that on July 4th in Washington, D.C. | |
| they're going to have an armed march with people carrying loaded, I stress loaded rifles strapped to their backs? | |
| Yes, I do. | |
| How do you feel about that and would you participate in something like that if you could? | |
| I'm not going to say whether I'd participate about it. | |
| I've been thinking it over in my head, but I do support it. | |
| It takes a certain type of people to make that type of message. | |
| I think Adam Kokesh and all his supporters are the right type of people. | |
| I'm interested in going to Washington, D.C. | |
| I don't know about the ammo. | |
| The Constitution says we can carry weapons. | |
| It doesn't say loaded or unloaded. | |
| But I prefer not to go loaded. | |
| I feel we should be able to carry him anywhere at any time. | |
| However, this particular situation you're talking about, if I could participate, I would. | |
| I'm currently not able to, but I support everyone doing it. | |
| I'm in the same boat. | |
| I mean, as far as I feel about it, loaded, unloaded, what difference does it really make? | |
| You know, in the same boat as him, if I could go, I would. | |
| If you're going to carry it, they should be loaded. | |
| They have a purpose. | |
| They deserve that purpose, although safely. | |
| However, I am very interested and I will be watching the Washington event very closely. | |
| Some things need to change, and it's time to change. |
