Misleading headline. Armed robbery lead to a shootout, gun battle. Money exchanged hands, then the people who offered the merchandise refused to hand it over.
An armed Samaritan then came out and held two of the participants for the police.

Quick, pass a law banning the illegal sale of guns! That will fix the problem!

Can I assume some or all parties involved were felons, which led to the guns being illegal?

Are private sales banned in Texas?
If not, what was illegal? The robbery attempt, check, the shooting by the perps, but certainly not the buyers defending themselves.

That is some serious port ejection if the brass went through apartments.

COMPLETE propaganda. How does the corrupt news media know it was an “illegal” gun sale? Was either party a felon? How do they know? In Texas it is perfectly legal for a private Texas citizen to sell another gun to another Texas citizen who is lawful to possess (not a felon).

So when a stolen car is involved in an accident that kills a person, is it the fault of the stolen car? The headline on the story about the illegal guns would lead one to believe that the gunfight was the fault of illegal guns. This is rubbish reporting at the least.

WHAT? Assault weaponized casings are the worst kind of casings.

Actually, I did. I’m sorry, I wasn’t addressing your comment, but rather the article.

Stolen weapons would make them illegal.

"Are private sales banned in Texas? If not, what was illegal?"Private sales are legal in Texas except in cases like this one in which, as the article makes quite clear, the firearms were stolen...
