Gun laws are stricter in Maine than they are in Texas, because Maine requires permits in some cases, whereas Texas doesn't.
Additional information:
In Texas, open carrying of long guns is not prohibited; open carrying of handguns is prohibited, with limited exceptions. To carry a handgun concealed, you must have a license. To get a license, you need to have a near clean criminal record. Basically, you must not have been convicted of a felony or a Class A or B misdemeanor or the equivalent in any state and must meet all federal requirements. You must not have been convicted of a crime punishable by more than one year. A comprehensive listing of eligibility factors can be found in s. 411.172, Tex.Gv. Code, all factors effective Sept. 1, 2009.

Should gun control have stricter laws?
It's arguable that the current gun control laws in the US are stretching the constitution to the breaking point. Anything much stricter and it would be impossible to maintain the fiction that they're compatible with the 2nd amendment.
Should there be stricter laws on owning a gun?
No. Stricter laws for owing a gun does nothing to stop crime or to keep criminals from buying guns since by definition, criminals don't buy guns legally. Maybe the debate should be extended to crazed psychopaths with guns? Obviously the laws need changing.

Can stricter gun laws decrease gun deathes?
Best answer is "MAYBE." There are many "gun free zones" in which law-abiding citizens won't carry a firearm, but a criminal would. In fact, criminals can take advantage of "gun free zones" because they know that their potential victims are likely to be unarmed. Now, if the government can ensure that guns are kept out of the hands of criminals, then stricter gun laws SHOULD help prevent gun-related fatalities. That's the tough part, criminals, by definition, don't obey laws.
