Beto mistake: Texas alternative to Assault Weapons Ban [View all]

Beto made a political mistake for an all-out assault weapons ban in Texas.
I believe Lamb's approach in PA must be followed in Texas for any chance to win. i.e. go very light on gun regulation.
I suggest a more nuanced solution;
Anybody can own an assault weapon but must keep it at storage locker at a gun range.
Or they can join the National or State Guard to keep it at home for a "Well regulated militia"

Gun industry should like the extra revenue to store them at a gun range. And Cruz can't rant about gun control.
