Two Republican state lawmakers in Texas propose establishing a Texas Ammunition Manufacturing Facility as an office within the state’s Department of Public Safety.
Noting a shortage in the supply of ammunition and soaring prices amid growing crime, state Sen. Pete Flores sponsored a bill in the Texas Senate (SB 1851) and state Rep. Ellen Troxclair sponsored a companion bill in the Texas House (HB 3539).
“Law enforcement has found it difficult in recent years to find sufficient supplies of ammunition or afford what is available,” Troxclair said in a prepared statement. “This adversely affects their ability to train and adequately respond to public safety needs, including mass shootings.”
