Lawmakers in Texas passed a legislation where they would lift the banning of having brass knuckles, kitty kechains and other items for self defense.

On Wednesday, the Texas Senate approved the bill and is now heading to Gov. Greg Abbott's desk to either sign or veto the bill.

Rep. Joe Moody, D-El Paso, who wrote the bill, says that this is "another step" in removing "antiquated laws regarding weapons."

"We did it with switchblades. We did it with knives and now with knuckles," he says. "Hopefully, now, with this on the way to the governor, we can ensure these types of laws aren't being used inappropriately to go after folks who have legitimate tools of self defense."
