In Texas, if you have a concealed-carry permit, they don’t have to do a check on you when you buy a firearm. There may be other states that do the same.

They killed Charlie, what do you think they would do to you or your family if given the chance? ARM your selves. Let the response to another left liberal tranny furry with a gun be a hail of bullets fired in self defense and a sound bit on the evening news.
