Ted Cruz Mocks Gun Control Advocates

RULE: If Ted Cruz mocks something, I'm on the side he mocks.
This clown is an out and out fraud. .................

At a Republican gathering in New Orleans, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) boasted of his support for gun rights and his stalwart opposition to gun control.

In the wake of another horrific mass shooting in Santa Barbara, California, Texas Senator Ted Cruz mocked the notion of gun control before a group of conservative activists.“Texas is a lot like Louisiana. We define gun control real simple—that’s hitting what you aim at.”

Cruz also bragged about slowing down new gun control efforts in the wake of the Newtown school shooting that left 20 children dead. Cruz said the Obama administration tried to use the shooting as “an excuse to go after the Constitutional rights of law-abiding senators.”

Instead he said that conservative lawmakers like himself were able to slow down the rush to pass new gun legislation, which permitted members of Congress to go home and hear from their constituents about the proposed new regulations.
“People would say, ‘How come you are not fighting for the Second Amendment?” the Texas Senator told the crowd at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans. “The American people rose up in overwhelming numbers.”

If this country stopped obsessing over homosexuals and focused its concern on its ammosexuals, we might begin to get our priorities in order.

and his GOP cohorts, still believe OBAMS IZ CUMMIN FER THERE GUNZ!!!!

They believe the Koch brothers are the "job Creators" and still backed draft dodging Romney after he asserted that "Corporations are PEOPLE too, my friends!" and that THEY, his admirers were LAZY and wanted handouts...fucking idiots.

He is speaking to Fox News-Watching goobers, bigots and idiots who haven't had an independent thought since Fox Mews went live. Why think when Rush, Bill-o, Beckkk and company think for you!

He doesn't have to prove his smarts, he is talking to the lowest common denominator in America. Registered Republicans!
