The State Fair of Texas has banned firearms on its premises, a decision that has sparked a heated debate among politicians, gun rights advocates, and the public.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has threatened legal action against the city of Dallas, arguing that the ban violates state law and infringes on Texans’ Second Amendment rights.
Supporters of the ban believe it is a common-sense measure to ensure public safety, while opponents claim it is a violation of their constitutional rights.
The ban comes after a shooting incident at the fair last year, which left three people injured.
