The only purpose of gun control is making evil safer for evil doers. It doesn't matter if the evil doers are common street criminals, religious fanatics, other nut jobs, or the government. Politicians who called for gun control in the wake of this mass murder and the Las Vegas mass murder showed their true colors. It's not about public safety because none of them called for truck control after the recent mass murder in New York. They only want to control guns so the good guys will be at a disadvantage.

common mistake to not read further:

(i) Subsections (b)(4), (b)(5), (b)(6), and (c) do not apply if the actor was not
given effective notice under Section 30.06 or 30.07.

Common mistake to not understand that was added by a later legislature.

They stopped reading at 46.035 (b)(6). Common enough problem even among licence holders.

this small town’s residents had just learned, mostly by word of mouth, the names of the people slain or wounded at the First Baptist Church, and the horror unleashed by a gunman was too fresh for anyone to process fully. But one thing was emphatically clear Monday: These Texans weren’t about to embrace gun control

that is all

it's really a good article, but... to me anyway...it sort of implies that guns are not allowed in church in Texas, did anyone else read the end of it that way?

And this is Trump's nominee? GRRRRRRRRR!

President Trump’s nominee to lead the military health system... Dean Winslow, a professor at Stanford University...

It seems like they all either forget or omit the fact that everything the government has regulated, or deemed illegal, is very easily accessible through the black market.

Do they think that "Billy Criminal" is going to conduct a background check when he sells a stolen gun to "Johnnie Criminal" if they enacted universal background checks? They want background checks to fail so that they can move along to the next big thing in gun control
