Texas again lowers restrictions on certain firearms, passes on regulations

  • Texas passed several pro-gun bills in 2025 aiming to ease firearm access and expand weapon types, with Governor Abbott expected to sign them.
  • These bills follow a background of increased firearm sales, constitutional carry since 2021, and mass shootings in Texas calling legislative focus on gun regulations.
  • Key legislation includes Senate Bill 1362 outlawing enforcement of civil red flag orders, Senate Bill 1596 removing state penalties for short-barrel firearms, and Senate Bill 3053 banning taxpayer-funded gun buybacks.
  • From 2007 to 2023, 227,000 firearms traced to U.S. manufacturers were recovered in Mexico, highlighting ongoing arms trafficking despite federal laws like the 2022 anti-trafficking act.
  • These legislative changes suggest Texas prioritizes Second Amendment rights and state sovereignty over federally recommended gun control measures amid national debates on firearm safety.
