    | The state Senate narrowly approved a bill Thursday that would require just about anyone buying a firearm to undergo a background check.  This legislation has been a priority for gun control advocates, but all 16 Republicans and four Democrats in the Senate said it would not prevent the sort of mass shootings that have spurred calls for such laws.  Scheduled for the first anniversary of a school shooting in Parkland, Fla., that left 17 people dead, the Senate's vote was the biggest test yet for gun control during this legislative session.

    | Elected servants need a background check to make sure that they have not wavered in fulfilling the Oath of Office that they took in order to have the privilege to Serve, not Rule.. |

                      | As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms.  However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts.  The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws.  — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |  |  |
