I hope you are right and dksuddeth is wrong that it is easy to get illegal guns in Texas.

But just for the record, according to FBI stats, Texas ranks 14th in violent crime on a per capita basis

Not that is relevant to the broader discussion.

My original point was that the laws preventing persons with histories of mental illness from purchasing guns legally are not working.
