Ah yeah, I probably shouldn't even speculate, but it seems like it was a 'hot-blood' murder. She loved this guy, got jealous, and since they're in Texas there's guns everywhere. A world different from sitting in her house coldly planning out how to do it. It's still bad, but if I were her lawyer this would be my argument.For you to be such a logical thinker that's quite a non logical statement to make (as of course guns are everywhere not just Texas.
Texas is within a group of states where there is no waiting period to purchase a gun, walk into a store with ID and a credit card, walk out with a gun in minutes. No registration, no waiting period. If this is taking place in a state with low gun ownership and a waiting period there's a chance cooler heads prevail.
There is also nearly 50% gun ownership in Texas, as opposed to ~15% in the northeast and 30% nationwide. We can have a rational conversation about self defense, personal firearms, and the implications of such a system, but the long and short is that increased gun ownership increases the chances of and probability of gun violence.

Please walk away from your computer, you're illogical views will make us stupider. I'm in California and our strict gun laws have little to no impact to our crime rate- it's still high.
Thanks for the well thought out response to the post "We can have a rational conversation about self defense, personal firearms, and the implications of such a system,"
Here's the gun crime rates per 100,000 residents broken down state by state. I'll save you the 5 seconds and Google it for you.

Notice anything? Not only does Texas lead California (15 to 9) but the highest gun crime states overwhelmingly have loose gun laws.
Sorry about making you stupider.
