This article has some clear bias. >The West Texas gunman who killed seven and injured 22 people while on a rampage with an automatic rifle... So are they saying they he modified the rifle to shot in auto? or are they just retarded libs who can't discern between full and semi-auto? > In Texas only convictions for felonies or domestic violence prevents people from being able to legally buy a gun. False. Violent or gun related misdemeanors will bar you from purchasing a firearm, and the federal law applying to domestic violence still applies. >Private sales also do not require the checks either, which can include sales at gun shows, they added. The inclusion of gun-shows here is purely political. If its a private sale... it doesn't matter whether the sale happened at a gun show, starbucks, or a back alley. Its a private sale.
