Makes sense, Texas has lax gun laws, plenty of gun stores and large border crossings where chances of random search are much lower.

However, Texas politics means gun laws in Texas are unlikely to change soon.

Makes sense, the border between Texas and Mexico is a river that can be waded in many places.

Sounds like total nonsense, I can walk into a California gun store and buy the same guns they're selling in Texas, not to mention it also borders Mexico [1]

Operation Fast and Furious, the operation that saw the US government arm the cartels, was based out of Arizona.

In good faith, I'm going to assume you are just ignorant of California gun laws.

California requires Firearm Safety Certificate [1], Texas does not.

California requires 10 day waiting period [1], Texas does not.

California requires Safe Handling Demonstration to be done by purchasing store [1], Texas does not.

California does not allow certain handguns to be sold in California [1][2], Texas allows all handguns to be sold.

California has one handgun, one semiautomatic centerfire rifle per 30 days purchase restriction, [1] Texas does not.

California has ammo purchase checks [1], Texas does not.

California has assault weapon ban, [3], Texas does not.

Now we can talk about Fast and Furious and how dumb it was (So dumb) but acting like Texas and California are same when it comes to gun laws is just wrong.
