Background checks are NOT required by federal law for private sales, and Texas has no restrictions requiring them either. ANYONE can get a gun in Texas, legally, without a background check. You're not required to go through a licensed dealer to get a gun. At least, not in Texas, where the El Paso shooting happened.

Background Checks in Texas | Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence "Federal law does not require dealers to conduct a background check if a firearm purchaser presents a state permit to purchase or possess firearms that meets certain conditions." Texas Gun Laws - Our Texas Gun Laws made Simple! "Q: What is required to purchase a firearm in the state of Texas? A: You will need a valid state-issued ID. Many FFLs will not sell to out-of-state residents. This is due to the FFL’s requirement to uphold your resident state’s gun laws, and the inherient complexity associated with many states."

A long term TV resident I've know for close to 30 years. He stated that there were two incidents where family members of two TV residents were selling drugs from their home. It wasn't like the drug houses in the bad parts of large cities but they were dealing drugs from there. He stated that it was problem children/grandchildren of the TV residents. Why is it so hard to believe that it happened? Not everyone here is a law abiding citizen, this is a town with good and bad people just like those outside of this bubble. Maybe publication of this was muted so as not to besmirch the reputation of the friendliest town in America.

You cannot purchase a handgun in a neighboring state and walk out with it. You can purchase it and have it shipped to a federally licensed gun dealer in your home state where you will have to undergo and pass a background check before you may take possession of the gun, no exceptions.
A long gun, rifle or shotgun, can be purchased from a neighboring state and you may take possession of it then and there. However, if your home state prohibits possession of that gun the neighbor state dealer cannot sell the gun to you. What ever restrictions your home state places on you or the firearm, the neighboring state dealer cannot sell the gun to you if it violates those restrictions. An out of state private individual cannot legally sell you a hand gun unless he ships it to a licensed dealer in your state. The same restrictions a dealer must comply with on long guns applies to the private out of state seller also. |

I'm not suggesting that we "eliminate" a tool to commit violence. I'm saying provide better checks and balances, and accountability for both the buyer and the seller, and make it a NATIONAL regulation, not a state-wide regulation. There is nothing preventing someone from going to any state that allows them to legally buy a gun, and legally buying one. And then, once that person has possession of that gun, bringing it back to their state, where state regulations prohibit them from buying it (because licensing, conceal carry, mental illness checks not done, no testing, whatever. WHATEVER REASON.)
If it is illegal for them to get it in the next state also, then it will be more difficult for them to get a gun. They'll still be able to get one. But it'll be harder to do. AND - just the fact that they got one at all, in ANY state, would mean they violated the law. In some states, the regulations and restrictions are stricter than in other states. There is no consistency. That is WHY Chicago has the problems it has. Chicago is an example of a city that will always have problems. But it is AS BAD as it is, because of the ease of LEGALLY acquiring a firearm across state lines. The regulations - whatever they are, however strict or loose, need to be nationwide. And again - "other tools" don't exist for the express purpose of killing. The primary function of a gun is to kill. That is its #1 primary function. It has limited use in anything else other than target practice, which is what you do when you're trying to be good at killing. |

There are many guns that should simply be taken off the market and bought back if possible. Guns designed for the use of soldiers and really not so much for anything else. More education about mental illness and a concentrated effort to get people to deal with it within their own families and in their communities. Same with virtual (online) and real life (person-to-person) bullying. A lot can be done. Education and empathy for survivors/victim are key. |

Do you know what one of the officials at the scene in Texas just said? Many bodies have not even been recovered from the Crime Scene. Stop trying to figure this out and wait until we clear the Walmart before trying this case in the press and coming to conclusions. I apologize, this would be one of the times where the name of the person would be helpful but I missed it.
Some of the people trying to score points off this tragedy is disgusting. Those name I know but can't say them. |
