Houston Chapter sets anti-gun plan


Who is responsible for gun violence?

The Houston Chapter of Texans Against Gun Violence set their 1998 goals as. . .

1. Work with the Mayor to implement a Houston version of the Boston Plan (see below), which has cut teen deaths in that city to zero,

2. Launch a litigation project to encourage local attorneys to bring suit against irresponsible manufacturers and sellers of firearms,

3. Intensify our outreach to the medical, religious, domestic violence and educational committees to increase the activities and resources to reduce gun violence,

4. Do the groundwork for next year's legislative session (informing members of candidates' positions and votes, strengthening relationships with representatives, and preparing proposed legislation).

The Boston Plan is an excellent gang prevention program. See the article Attacking Gangs, Not Civil Rights by Tanya Metaksa, Nov./Dec. 1997 American Rifleman or American Hunter magazines. The litigation project translates to mean if any firearm is used in a crime, the manufacturer is irresponsible and TABV is lining up attorneys to bring suit. It also means that anyone who ever sold the firearm that was used in a crime, will also be brought into the law suit.

The TAGV outreach program is an attempt to get more people from the medical, religious, law enforcement and educational communities to influence people for more gun control.

The TSRA Legislative Committee already knows TAGV will reintroduce:

1. Legislation to close down shooting ranges through over regulation,

2. A bill to close down gun shows and require you to go through a firearms dealer to lawfully give a firearm to your adult children, and

3. Legislation to place more restrictions on the Concealed Handgun Law.
