2	2	WHEREAS, The Texas State Rifle Association is celebrating
3	3	its 100th anniversary in 2019; and
4	4	WHEREAS, Established in 1919, the Texas State Rifle
5	5	Association is an independent organization affiliated with, and
6	6	recognized by, the National Rifle Association; its primary goal
7	7	was to promote and encourage rifle shooting through training and
8	8	competitions in the state and by competition with other such
9	9	groups across the nation; and
10	10	WHEREAS, With the growth of association membership over
11	11	the years, youth shooting and safety programs have developed in
12	12	such organizations as 4-H, the Boy Scouts of America, the
13	13	American Legion, the National High School Rodeo Association, and
14	14	ROTC; in cooperation with the National Rifle Association, the
15	15	Texas State Rifle Association sanctions state matches each year
16	16	in more than 20 different shooting disciplines, and the state
17	17	winners are eligible to advance to national competitions; and
18	18	WHEREAS, For many years, the association has carefully
19	19	monitored other state legislatures and the United States
20	20	Congress in its role as a strong supporter of the rights of
21	21	law-abiding citizens to own firearms; the association had no
22	22	active presence at the Texas State Capitol until 1985, when Doc
23	23	Brown advocated on behalf of the association for the passage of a
24	24	firearms preemption bill and a bill to stop hunter harassment,
25	25	both of which were signed into law by Governor Mark White; and
26	26	WHEREAS, Today, the 35,000 members of the Texas State Rifle
27	27	Association proudly maintain the association's original
28	28	commitment to firearm skill development, youth participation,
29	29	and safety training, as well as its support for traditional
30	30	hunting and its ongoing dedication to firearm ownership and
31	31	Second Amendment rights; now, therefore, be it
32	32	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
33	33	Legislature, hereby commemorate the 100th anniversary of the
34	34	Texas State Rifle Association and commend its directors,
35	35	officers, and members for their contributions to the legislative
36	36	process; and, be it further
37	37	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
38	38	prepared for the Texas State Rifle Association as an expression
39	39	of high regard by the Texas Senate.
