AUSTIN, Texas -- Efforts to allow concealed handguns in college classrooms have stalled in the Texas Senate for a second time.
Now the bill that seemed likely to pass when the session began may be in trouble as opponents continue to rally support to defeat it.
The Republican sponsor of the bill says he didn't have the votes to bring it up Monday. Sen. Jeff Wentworth of San Antonio said he hopes the delay is temporary.
Higher education officials have strongly opposed the measure. They worry guns will lead to campus violence.
Supporters (Absolute Morons) call it a critical self-defense measure and gun rights issue.

Could this be the reason? It has to be something in the Texas water supply. People don't naturally become this moronic.
Texas officials charged with protecting the environment and public health have for years made arbitrary subtractions to the measured levels of radiation delivered by water utilities across the state, according to a series of investigative reports out of Houston.
Those subtractions, based on the test results' margin of error, made all the difference for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ): without the reduction, demonstrated levels of dangerous radiation would have been in excess of federal limits for years.
This was being done in direct contravention of an order by the US Environmental Protection Agency, which told state regulators in 2000 to stop subtracting the margin of error.
