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.

Will Wray swear an oath to enforce “commonsense” gun legislation or to “support and defend the Constitution”? (Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing/YouTube) July 13, 2017 Attorney Christopher Wray, President Donald Trump’s nominee to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation, gave a response to a “gun control” question in Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that raises flags for right to keep and bear arms advocates. Per The Daily Signal , Wray was being “pressed” by Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. “on whether he would back universal background checks for gun buyers.” Wray tried to get around specifics at first, talking in general terms about “efforts to deal with gun violence” and how he “would want to take a look at any specific legislative proposal and get back to you once I have evaluated [it].” But Blumenthal, as committed an enemy of the Second Amendment as ever put one hand on a Bible, raised the other and proceeded to lie though his teeth, was intent o...
