This bill simply requires that the background check for a purchase that occurs within a gun shop applies outside a gun shop. That doesn't take away anyone's right, but it does protect us from convicted criminals, fugitives, and family abusers who are prevented from evading the law to buy a weapon of war online or at a gun show. Texas Gun Sense knows the gap in safety makes no sense. Unfortunately, NRA has come to stand for ``No Republican Action.'' They offer us only moments of silence for mass murder, but they always come up short with one very important type of ammunition--courage. Students in March for Our Lives have that courage. Moms Demand Action are steadfast in demanding meaningful action. As these gun lobbies continue to oppose reasonable action, we must speak up for gun safety. We must listen to the victims of violence before their number is increased by another El Paso shooting, another school shooting, or another concert interrupted by gunfire. We must act now to save lives.
