Dustin Burrows co-authored Texas' so-called "Second Amendment Sanctuary" law in 2021, giving Texas the authority to push back against ANY unconstitutional gun control passed by the Biden administration.1
As expected Joe Biden worked with Republicans like John Cornyn last summer to pass the "Bipartisan Safer Communities Act," which Biden referred to as "the most significant gun [control] legislation to pass Congress in 30 years."2
Sadly, when Burrows went back to Austin this session, He voted to pass SB 728 to bring state law into line with part of Biden's gun control law by dumping millions of Texans' records into the flawed NICS Gun Ban Registry - instead of allowing Texas to exercise its new authority under the Second Amendment Sanctuary law.3
Burrows only plays lip service to the Second Amendment when it makes him look good -- but will NOT actually fight back against the Federal Government when given the opportunity.
In 2021, Dustin Burrows voted AGAINST Constitutional Carry on college campuses, which would have been a de facto end to dangerous "gun free" zones that are usually targeted by violent criminals.4
Burrows also voted AGAINST expanding Constitutional Carry to all legal adults, including single mothers and military aged individuals between the ages of 18 and 20.5
He also voted AGAINST Constitutional Carry on lands managed by the Lower Colorado River Authority, including dozens of campgrounds across the state.6
Dustin Burrows' anti-gun votes against pro-gun amendments helped create a confusing patchwork of gun laws that could accidentally trip up otherwise law-abiding gun owners.
Voted to impeach America's most pro-gun Attorney General, Ken Paxton!
The Texas House "ran out of time" to pass many pro-gun reforms like the Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA) and a ban on "Red Flag" Gun Confiscation, but it found the time to conduct a sham impeachment of Attorney General Ken Paxton during the final days of the 2023 legislative session... conveniently after Paxton publicly called out Speaker Phelan for being drunk on the House floor!
The Texas Gag Act
In 2023, Dustin Burrows teamed up with anti-gun Democrats to silence the grassroots by voting to hide his liberal anti-gun record from YOU.7
This First Amendment shredding legislation, better known as the Texas Gag Act, would've forced groups like Texas Gun Rights to release their entire list of membership records and donors if they dared to talk about the voting record of a politician!
Most hard-working Texans, just like you, simply don't have the time to go knocking on doors, make phone calls, or engage in issue advocacy during the work week. That's why you support a group like TXGR -- to be your voice!
But forcing groups like TXGR to disclose donors, just for talking about a politician's voting record, is like painting a bullseye on YOUR back in this "cancel culture" era.
Imagine every office busybody and every local antifa activist knowing you donated to a gun rights organization, or other conservative causes?
NOT good!
This would have a chilling effect on free speech for you... and remove ALL accountability for your elected officials.
Thankfully the Texas Gag Act was killed in the Senate after Burrows joined Democrats to pass it out of the Texas House.

That's apparently a newsworthy tidbit for followers of celebrity tabloid gossipmongers. Showbiz Spy's Richard Head tells readers Gibson "has admitted he has a dangerous weapon hidden away in his home in case an intruder breaks in during the night and puts his family’s lives at risk." The 54-year-old actor insists there is nothing unusual about his outlook, as in modern society, times have changed to the extent where people need to be 'tooled up' with weapons to defend themselves, their loved-ones and their homes. True enough. There's nothing unusual about that and Gibson is correct--weapons are tools, and we owe it to ourselves and our loved ones to have them and know how to properly use them. It's hardly news though...
Received via email: To: Hamlin, Douglas Mon 4/21/2025 8:51 AM To the National Rifle Association, What is the National Rifle Association? I've heard countless times it's "America's oldest civil rights group". Is that so? I've also heard it's a non profit corporation. It's definitely not making a profit now. I've been told, it's membership is 4million, 5mllion, even 6million members. Or is it less than 3million? The NRA was once a $300 to $400million non profit corporation. What do the books say now? Is the board even allowed to see the books? Or do they have the courage to ask? The most recent numbers I could find were revenues being about $176million, while expenditures were about $209million.

Shared via email by WarOnGuns Correspondent CDT : Dear President Trump: This past Thursday, there was a spree shooting at Fort Stewart, exacerbated by the fact that none of the servicemen in a position to control the shooter were armed. I won't waste any language further describing the attack, I'm confident you're aware of it. There have been seven other spree shootings with this same profile since 2009, all made possible by President Clinton's ban on soldiers carrying arms inside military bases (DOD Directive 5210.56). There is no place in the USA for victim disarmament policies, but *especially* not on military bases. Back in 2015, you volunteered this pledge to Fredy Riehl of AmmoLand.com: "As Commander-in-Chief, I would mandate that soldiers remain armed and on alert at our military bases. President Clinton never should have passed a ban on soldiers being able to protect themselves on bases. America’s Armed Forces will be armed. They will be able to defend the...
