Texas House approves bushel of bills softening gun laws
The Texas House on Saturday approved a bushel of bills to further soften gun laws that were already among the most firearms-friendly in America, allowing college students to carry handguns in class, creating special, potentially armed marshals in public schools and exempting the state from any future federal bans on assault rifles, high-capacity magazines or universal background checks.
At a press conference in Houston today, Gov. Rick Perry proposed even tougher laws against sex offenders in Texas.
