We control access to other things as a matter of course in this country. Due to the fact that people used to buy cases of Sudafed in order to make meth, everyone is now restricted in how much pseudophedrine they can purchase at one time, and purchases are tracked. (e.g. you can only have XX rounds of ammunition in your possession at any given time - sorry the mass shooters ruined it for you)
Texas itself has some significant controls.
To get an abortion in Texas you must observe a 24-hour waiting period, undergo a medical imaging procedure, and if you are under 18, have parental consent.
To get a learners' permit for driving in Texas you must pass a number of requirements and are not allowed to operate the device without adult supervision. Once you pass an exam and accrue sufficient time operating the device, you are allowed a provisional licence (until 18) that places restrictions on your usage of that device.
The claim that common sense gun control measures are logistically unworkable is, and has always been, untrue.
