Can someone who knows Texas gun laws explain how he was able to buy the guns?
The form asks a dozen or so questions of you, any wrong answer will disqualify you; but does not ask about the people you live with. The murderer had just turned 18 and apparently had no adult criminal record. A NICS check would show him clean and eligible to buy. I believe, but could be wrong, that the NICS data base looks for names forbidden to possess, not addresses.
Thanks for the response. It would seem the ‘common sense” gun laws the politicians are always pushing exhibit zero common sense. But then again, the career criminals making these laws profit from their failure.
