Proposed mandatory 10 years for gun crime draws warning at Texas Capitol
HOUSTON - Significant pushback emerged at the Texas Capitol against a proposed law mandating 10 years in prison for those convicted of a crime involving a gun.
"This I think will go a long way as a deterrent effect to try and stop some of the very violent crimes that are happening in our state with the use of firearms," said Houston State Senator Joan Huffman, author of SB-23.
