Two mass shootings in the last month have claimed 29 lives in Texas, drawing scrutiny and criticism of the state’s lax firearm regulations.
Among these policies: gun owners can knowingly sell or transfer weapons to felons, making it one of the easiest states in which to carry out straw purchases. Texans are also not required to report lost or missing firearms to law enforcement, nor are large-capacity magazines restricted. |

"Gun owners can knowingly sell or transfer weapons to felons, making it one of the easiest states in which to carry out straw purchases."
What utter BS. There is no federal or state law than can stop a person from doing either, anywhere in the union. All laws can do is to punish the crime post facto.
'Shameless, bald-faced perfidy. |

| Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction. — St. George Tucker, in his edition of 'Blackstone's Commentaries,' 1:300 (1803). |
