Texas is one of the most populated states in the US, and more than 1 million of its people are active holders of hand and long guns. The state’s gun regulations usually focus on controlling gun-carrying rather than prohibiting gun ownership. The Texas constitution grants every Texan the freedom to “keep and carry weapons mostly in the legal defense of himself or the State.” But, it also provides the government the authority to “regulate the wearing of arms” to avoid harm. This means that people can legally keep and carry a firearm in their houses or public, but with strict restrictions and only if the government has lawfully approved the owner. |

| Not sure where to start with this one. He never answered the title question and went on to state incorrect facts(?). i.e. like implying one had to have a license to possess, or a license prior to purchase... it's as if he had no knowledge of gun ownership in Texas. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
