By definition we can't know what we don't know. We certainly won't know what we refuse to learn.

It's really a glass half empty vs half full thing.

If you go thru the table at the ncls site and read the summary descriptions of each state's law, you'll see that Texas is something of an outlier. The summary about Texas law represents a place I don't want to see federal definitions go to for a broader definition of who should be in the NICS.

Between the lines there is also a broad image of how lawmakers respond to meeting the needs of their constituents.
Mostly that ncls list refers to outcomes which aren't arbitrary and do insure due process. That also means some of them are otherwise.
