It is well known that the Houston Chronicle is a Democrat's dream paper....and it is also pretty well shown that criminals don't rely on gun shows for their weapons...they steal them, trade for them, buy them from other criminals, bring them across state lines, etc. True, more strenuous background checks probably might slow a criminal's ability to purchase guns legitimately, but since when have criminals been likely to "go through channels"?

The Houston Chronicle is nothing more than a liberal rag. I cancelled my subscription to that crap long ago.

More like white-shoe Republican. Fiscally conservative, socially liberal ("planter liberalism" it used to be called before "the recent unpleasantness"), and wholly devoted to the Chamber of Commerce, the Bush family political machine, the local bipartisan (but becoming more 'Rat) political machine, and the Boys Downtown generally.
