Texas: 1. 24 million is the population. 2. average rainfall is 8in. in the West and 56in. in the East. 3. 215 cities with a population of 10,000 or more. 4.15 different kinds of rattle snakes. 5. The football team is Texas longhorns

Death Penalty and Texas: 1. In the least restrictive coulumn for gun control campaign to prevent gun violence. 2. Do not need a permit to but long handle guns. 3. open carry of hand guns is prohibited unless hunting on own property. 4. Texas leads nation in number of executions since death penalty was reinstated. 5. Texas created a new unit dedicated to anti-terroism.

Gun control: The problems of gun control is that innocent civilians get shot everyday. And an estimated 500,000 guns are stolen each year. Allowing them to get into hands of prohibited users. There was a try to keep gun control...The gun control Act of 1968 was enacted, allowing only use to licensed users. I feel all guns should be prohibited to any user. No one should be allowed to use one, excpet for the, members of the army, and police. Although in the bill of rights, you have a right to bare arms, guns should be illegal in all countries. If someone should murder someone else, they should die too.

Criminal Justice: My belief is that if "you do the crime, you owe the time," except if you murder someone. Because if you kill someone, they killer should die too. Because its not fair if our money gets put towards things like food, bedding, and heating for those who have commited a serious crime. I think after the person is commited guilty, they deserve the death penalty. And with a dead family member or a dead loved one, we follow what we think is right for ourselves and others.

National Defense: In the Western District of Texas, they created a new unit dedicated to the anti-terrorism efforts. The unit provides an organizational structure and support in the war. It enhances the offices capabilities to detect, disrupt, and prosecute terrorist related activities. From my point of view, this is good, because they are at least trying to put up some guard. Maybe putting in units around the border will keep us all safe.

MY BILL:HB53. You should support my bill because i believe most people in the world, including myself, think that murdering someone is bad, and there should be a punishment for commiting such a bad crime.
