Among the weapons registered in Texas, 332,208 are classified as a “destructive device,” 46,318 are machine guns, 529,150 silencers, 81,000 short-barreled rifles and 10,362 short-barreled shotguns.

Soooo, yes YOU don’t have a registered gun.

These are special weapons as mandated by the 1938 National Firearms Act (machine guns, silencers and sawed-off weapons). What isn’t registered is pistols, revolvers, rifles and shotguns.

According to the Texas Tribune, Texans purchased more than 1.6 million guns in 2021, about one gun for every 14 adults in the state.

That’s just ONE YEAR.

According to an estimate, Texans own around 51 million firearms, which is more than the 15 nations of the European Union combined.
