But guess what he might have been legal in Texas


State and federal law differ when it comes to felons and possession of a firearm. Federal law does not allow a felon to possess a firearm. However, gun laws for felons in Texas are a bit different. In Texas, a felon can possess a firearm at his or her residence but only once five years have passed since the disposition of his or her conviction.

its an access problem!

I agree it's an access problem. There are untold millions of guns out there. No law is going to stop a determined criminal from getting one of them.

Chicago has very strict gun control laws. Are they helping reduce violent crime?

It's also (and more so) a cultural problem. Our culture is producing waaay too many people who aren't bothered by hurting others. Liberals hate, hate, hate discussing that side of it, because it's a huge political loser for them,. because liberalism causes it.
