On a national level, the only guns that require any form of registration to own are those prohibited under the National Firearms Act, which are those that can fire more than one bullet for each pull of the trigger, are breech-loading non-shotgun weapons with a barrel more than .5" (12.7mm) in diameter, or contain an explosive filler (in this case, the restricted item is the ammunition, not the gun). Some states or cities have passed laws requiring registration of more types (usually as an "assault weapons" ban), but the ATF has no jurisdiction to enforce any such law, and Texas is not one of the states that has done so.

Trump says he'll block remittances to Mexico in order to force the government to pay for the wall. I'd say he's lost all legitimacy and gone off the deep end, but he did that a long time ago and it doesn't seem to have slowed him down at all.

I was going to link his Twitter feed but it's actually become very NSFW within the last few hours.  Suffice to say that if you tweet him an anime babe he will rate her.

e: for the record he has turned against Trump and is now in favor of Cruz.

Because you don't need a license to carry. To conceal in public sure, but in his house they've got nothing to go on.
In some states you don't even need a license for that! Cough cough Arizona. (And Alaska and Vermont.)

Well, the first polls are closing (or all of them?) in about 6 mins ish.

Edit: How can something be negative percent in an exit poll? Saw that on CNN, unless that was an ~ symbol.

Well, he has held various positions on guns at times that are not entirely in line with the general liberal/democrat stance.

They're not very far away from one, though. I don't think that there's any litmus tests for the Dems these days, really.

I think it's actually pretty far away from one... you may be able to point to some gun control measures that have been introduced by Democrats, but that's a very small balloon and Republicans have a lot of hot air.

It's a bit jarring to see his strong political messages and his anime girl ratings juxtaposed like that. He would be a great and terrible president.
