Texas AG Ken Paxton threatens State Fair over gun ban

Paxton argued that the gun ban infringes on Texas gun owners' rights because Fair Park is government-owned property.

In Austin Texas Probate Court Judges will Replace the Decedent Chosen Trusted Executor who would not go against the Will, with a Developer's Attorney as Court Monitored Administrator who then decided against the Decedent's Intent, that it would be Best for the Family to Sell the Decedent Parent's Half of the Debt Free 15 acres Family Property to the Austin Texas Tax Payer Funded DEVELOPER operating as 10 LLC s and many names for 2 cents on a Dollar, Court Order forced Sale at $40k for a $1.5~$3 million property . After Family complaints, the Judge said the attorney is Trained in Ethics and You are Not . Austin Texas Probate Court Judges and DEVELOPER'S acting as PREDATORS , Reprobates lacking Empathy and any desire to do Right . Do not use a Will use a Trust or Right of Survivorship. Protect your property from Austin Texas Pro.bate Cour.ts . Theft and Corruption in another Democrat controlled city .

These dumb women straight up talk about events but I wanna know who made her this years leader in the fair? Who approved of this and who is gonna sue her for infringing on American rights? We seriously need to stop being so forgiving

I would like to see some stats on what he said about gun free zones having more violent crime than a gun free zone. How about we start acting like a civilized society and make out decisions based on the best facts we have available and not based on what some random person's opion and agenda are. I'm tired of people firing off at the mouth without providing any evidence.

So many people banning guns in places and putting lives in danger. Sad.

FYI Texas State Fairgrounds are public property…
The ban is breaking the law!
Texas Government Code § 411.209(a) states that “. . . a political subdivision of the state may not take any action, including an action consisting of the provision of notice by communication described by Section 30.06 or 30.07, Penal Code, that states or implies that a license holder who is carrying a handgun under the authority of this subchapter is prohibited from entering or remaining on a premises or other place owned or leased by the governmental entity unless license
holders are prohibited from carrying a handgun on the premises or other place by Section 46.03, Penal Code, or other law.”

Who is the Democrat lady wearing a cowboy hat? Cowboy hats do not automatically make you right.

Drop the ban or get sued and lose in court. It’s your choice, Dallas. But you’re just going to spend a bunch of money and still lose.

[ericacole]

Can I sue Paxton for millions if I got shot by a stray bullet from some angry drunk?
Isn’t the fact that we have trained police officers at every corner

Yeah because it's so smart to sue them for banning guns because of all the shootings 🤦‍♂️

For those not from that area, the State Fair is right in the middle of the largest black community in the Dallas proper. Even when I last went there 25 years ago, you regularly saw groups of young black males roaming the grounds. Attacks and fights were common occurrences and you rarely saw a cop, except in certain places that the groups avoided. Mostly cops were clustered around the lost kid tent or the first aid tent and the gangs avoided those places for obvious reasons.

If you don’t like guns in Texas, maybe it’s time you leave Texas, as 1 in 3 Texans own guns, and there are over 67 millions guns for 27 million Texans… Texas is a gun state. Period.

Here in Texas you will fear lgbtq books not guns. Bible belt. Merica. 🤠
