“This is a disgrace to the state of Texas. “

For all their “horn tooting” about what a “wonderful, free place” Texas is, Texas’ just us system is a disgrace. You can’t have freedom if your justice system isn’t fair and impartial, and Texas’ system doesn’t begin to pass the smell test. Just look at what that criminal DA, Ronnie Earle did to Tom DeLay, and how his predecessor tried to try a sitting governor for removing her from some commission because she’s a slobbering drunk!

Cody Ledbetter?

The clubs, farm teams for the Bandidos, wore black leather motorcycle vests with patches of red and gold - the colors of the Bandidos - to show their allegiance.

The riders kept coming. Too many.

“We’re done,” Ledbetter thought to himself.

This is what happens to a good state when under the thumb of the federal government. Take the feds out of the loop and this would have never happened in the first place.

I'm not entirely sure of that. Waco seems to be a pretty messed up place.

What is this "trace" crap? If these are lawfully-owned firearms, the ATF does not legally have records to run a "trace" on them. In other words, if I buy a Glock 19 from a guy who was the first person (after the dealer) to own it, how does the ATF know I have that Glock? THEY DON'T. There is no gun registration in Texas, nor in most US states.

So I ask again: what is this "trace" stuff?

I could see them hounding the mfg to see where it went out to.

To a distributor, or direct to a customer via a FFl.

Then hound them to identify the buyer.

Then hound the first buyer to see if he still has it or where did it go from there?

There is no firearms database that I'm aware of.

I suspect Reyna doesn’t have enough evidence to prosecute all “involved” and is simply fishing for something to pin on them.

Multiple civil rights violations occurred at Twin Peaks by multiple agencies which may eventually see the light of day.

In the meantime, wonder what happened with those ballistic reports?

Hmmmm....
