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.

David Codrea Gun Rights Examiner November 15, 2011 Chore Boy--the most trusted name in unregistered NFA firearms. Credits: David Codrea The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Firearms Technology Branch has deemed “Chore Boy copper cleaning pads, along with fiberglass insulation,” a firearm, subject to registration and a $200 transfer tax, an official letter obtained recently by Gun Rights Examiner reveals. The response to an attorney inquiry by John R. Spencer, Chief, Firearms Technology Branch, offers one of the more creatively restrictive assessments since ATF declared a shoestring to be a machinegun . The rationale Spencer uses: A silencer is a firearm per U.S. Code, subject to National Firearms Act registration and transfer tax requirements. “[S]ound/gas absorbing materials manufactured from Chore Boy copper cleaning pads, alon...
Reposted from July 17, 2018 This is what they want for everyone who supports Trump’s pledged agenda. And these are the same people that support citizen disarmament. (Twitter/Facebook) “An art gallery in Portland, Oregon, has been criticized for displaying a piece of artwork on the window that depicts President Donald Trump’s throat being cut with a knife with the words ‘F**k Trump’ inscribed underneath,” Newsweek reported Tuesday . “The One Grand Gallery located at 1000 E Burnside Street in Portland, Oregon has a decal of Trump being slashed in the throat with a knife on its window. The photo of the artwork surfaced on Twitter on Tuesday, with many people slamming the gallery for posting the violent image.” The piece has since been taken down by “a man who identified himself as the One Grand Gallery’s founder, who refused to give his name and hid his face,” Fox 12 Oregon reports . “[P]eople that are responding, are responding with such anger and violence,” the co...
March 2, 2018 Too young at the time of his legendary heroics to be trusted with a rifle? (U. S. Army publicity photo) The latest citizen disarmament plot currently being hatched will raise the minimum age for rifle purchases to 21. While some are specifically calling out semi-automatic rifles, others want it all. Such plans are gaining traction at the state and federal level by no shortage of Democrat opportunists and “bipartisan” Republican panderers, including Sen. Marco Rubio and President Donald Trump . An interesting article over at Firearms News notes Audie Murphy would have been deemed “too young” to be trusted with a rifle at the time his legendary heroics earned him recognition as the most decorated combat soldier of WWII. It goes on to imagine a gun store clerk telling not just him, but “our young combat heroes, veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, who may have lost limbs and fought for our freedom, that they have no Second Amendme...
