As the 88th Texas legislature regular session races toward sine die on May 29, here’s a quick update on two bills that caught my attention:
The senate is debating a bill to prevent banks from tracking firearms purchases. Good. We should not be letting the government set up a gun confiscation list, or banks a list to start banning law-abiding gun owners based on the goal of goosing their ESG scores.
There’s a very poorly thought-out bill passed by the House to track every single precious metal sale to a jeweler. This is a bad idea. You start tracking precious metal sales and you end up with governments seizing precious metals, because it’s happened before.
Here’s an idea: How about government refrain from tracking anything except if it’s necessary and proper to perform constitutionally enumerated duties?
