Texas Senate tells US Congress to put a halt to Holt (SCR 54)

Today, the Senate passed Senate Concurrent Resolution 54, authored by Sen. Craig Estes (R-Wichita Falls), which admonishes legislators in DC to "cease and desist" attempting to pass Federal laws such as Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009, otherwise known as HR 54 on Capitol Hill. If you haven't read HR 54 yet, do yourself a favor and take a peek - it's not pretty.

Fortunately, the Holt bill isn't getting much traction on the Hill, but that didn't stop the Senate from adopting the resolution with a 25-6 vote.
