Reply #75: He's exactly the sort the NRA appeals to... [View All]

"he may have broken some other laws."
But thanks to the mess the GOP and NRA have made in Texas together, he didn't break any gun laws...even though he's clearly an irresponsible drunk who ought not to be armed.

"One has to pass a strict background check and attend classes and pass tests to get a CCW."
In most states that have passed these imbecilic laws, applicants need only spend a few hours at a shooting gallery. And if the background check can't get completed in time, the dimwit gets his pistol permit anyway...and tough luck for public safety.

"Guns makers will still be subject to the same liability laws as everyone else."
Not even close to true...or they wouldn't need this disgraceful bill.

"For example, the TEC-9 had the threads removed from the barrel and was sold as the AB-10. Otherwise it was the EXACT SAME GUN."
Wow....so the gun industry evaded the law and went on selling assault weapons anyway...sure convinces me they're the sort of responsible upright citizens who deserve special immunity from lawsuits....NOT.

"If a person wants a scary looking gun, and the internal functioning is the same, then that's their freedom."
But of course, if the claim that the ban covered only "scary looking guns" was just so much horseshit, then we'd expect a lame answer like that.
