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 |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
