Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety and the Texas chapter of Moms Demand Gun Sense for America are both poised for a last-ditch attempt to sell the Lone Star State on gun control.

The campaign is estimated to cost about $80,000, indicating just how scared anti-gunners are about a Second Amendment win in Texas.

Port Authority Doubles Down on Constitution-Free Zone with High-Profile Arrest

As anyone who has passed a basic civics class knows, the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. All legislation and official government actions are subject to its limits.
