Gun control was an issue during the presidential campaign. Democrat Hillary Clinton promised to strengthen gun control laws in the wake of mass shootings like the massacre at Pulse nightclub in Orlando and the ambush of police officers in Dallas this year.

Trump, on the other hand, vowed to protect gun rights and appoint Supreme Court justices who will defend the Second Amendment.

Lawmakers filed about a dozen bills with the term "firearm," and many of those would expand and ensure Texans' rights to possess and carry guns. Three Republican legislators, Sen. Bob Hall of Edgewood, Rep. Matt Krause of Fort Worth and Rep. Mark Keough of The Woodlands, each filed proposals that would prohibit Texas from enforcing federal limitations or regulations on the possession of firearms.
