So there is some screening related to a registration. Its not recorded for all time, but still a kind of screening process.
Registering the gun, or the purchase or yourself is all the same. It is just a screening process.
The "screening" in Texas is all driven by Federal law, and is the same in all states. There is no state registration or tracking. I can sell a firearm to my neighbor, and the state will never know about it.
You guys are going to allow the very government you may have to fight a bloody battle against, tell you what you can fight them with.... You bought that BS?

Don't be silly.
Thats how clever the govt is!! they have figured out a way to dupe 1000s of people without firing a single shot!
I hate it, but I have to give credit where its due...what this tyrannical govt has done is VERY clever! They basically found a loophole to ensuring tyranny grows and spreads...just convince the public its in their best interest, or in the interest of their safety.

I guess that is how criminals in no gun states are getting their guns then. Their friends in gun friendly states selling, or loaning them out. It cant be tracked back to them.

At least in some CA counties. But that practice may be changing over the objections of the idiots in San Diego. Oh, by the way, this is another very good reason to never register a gun;

Last week, a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals three-judge panel struck down San Diego County’s approach to issuing concealed-carry gun permits, in a case that has statewide and even national implications. Critics of the decision, such as San Diego Police Chief Bill Lansdowne and gun-control activists, argued that allowing more people to carry guns outside their homes increases dangers to the public.
There’s much data disputing that notion, but the case isn’t about the merits or demerits of public gun ownership. The court’s decision focuses on the meaning of this right.
California law allows cities and counties to set their own standards for issuing a permit to carry a concealed weapon. In San Diego County, that power rests with the sheriff. Some counties are permissive, allowing individuals who have no criminal record and meet a few standards to have a permit. But in San Diego County and many urban counties, a person must first prove “good cause,” such as facing a direct threat.
The situation in those latter counties is the opposite of a right. It’s a privilege. In some counties, friends or campaign donors of sheriffs have been able to obtain permits, while average citizens cannot get them. After being denied a permit and exhausting his appeals through the sheriff’s department, Edward Peruta and four others filed suit.
The 9th Circuit judges – relying on two fairly recent and prominent gun-rights rulings in the U.S. Supreme Court (Heller and McDonald) – found that, “The Second Amendment secures the right not only to ‘keep’ arms but also to ‘bear’ them … The court already has supplied the word’s plain meaning: ‘At the time of the founding, as now, to ‘bear’ meant to ‘carry.’”

If that were true, I'd be the property of someone I had to answer to.
What? Are they going to threaten me with violence if I DO NOT comply?
That will get your ass shot around here, making threats like that.
