Texas Wants to Make It Easier for People to Own Sawed-Off Shotguns

2A winning!

Texas is poised to make it easier for residents in the state to own short-barreled shotguns and rifles, rolling back yet another firearm regulation in a state that has experienced some of the deadliest mass shootings in the country in the last decade.

Texas Senate Bill 1596 would decriminalize short-barreled long guns, including sawed-off shotguns. Texas defines these weapons, which are currently illegal in the state, absent a federal permit, as “a rifle with a barrel length of less than 16 inches or a shotgun with a barrel length of less than 18 inches, or any weapon made from a shotgun or rifle if, as altered, it has an overall length of less than 26 inches.”
