West Texas Gunman Was Previously Barred From Buying Firearms

The transcript discusses a shooting incident in West Texas where the gunman, previously barred from purchasing a gun due to mental unfitness, acquired a weapon through a private sale without a background check. The investigation focuses on the private seller, as Texas law does not mandate background checks for private sales. The House passed a bill for background checks on private sales, but it stalled in the Senate. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell indicated that gun reform legislation might be considered if endorsed by President Trump.
