We aren't talking about a case of rocket launchers or hand grenades here. He sold a stinking 38 caliber pistol to a guy that showed him a valid Texas Drivers License.

What bullshit!

right-wing gun nuts aren't too smart to go flaunting the law and taunting whoever walks buy, like u/c feds. :lol

.....that clearly was going to turn around and give it to Aviles.....and did.

I wish I was terribly surprised you aren't getting this.

And you think the guy should go to prison for 6 months? The little cocksucker that broke into my business 3 months ago and stole $40,000 worth of stuff and got caught forging a check he stole out of my desk just got probation...

It is not a law that an individual making a sale has to do a background check. It was a new internal rule of the guys putting on gun show...not a law.

Try to keep up.

His name was irrelevant. Just a typical west side banger in a white wife beater. I'm not going vigilante.

Although that really wasn't was he was being loud about, I'm going to guess that didn't help his cause. :lol

an unlicensed sale had to go through a licensed gun dealer for background verification.

Wrong.

By law transactions between individuals do not require background checks.

There are no laws regulating the sale of guns between individuals in Texas. What exactly were you going to bust them for?
