You may not buy it but it is true.
It has to do with his Son, Donald junior. Donald junior is a gun guy and he converted his dad.
I can provide the details if you like...but so far every time I have offered on this site no Cruz person has taken me up on it. It seems they prefer to continue to parrot the old line that Trump was anti gun in 2000..which he was, but between 2006 and 2009 was converted.
I would mention that Charlton Heston. Supported the GCA of 1968, an act which cause us gun folks no end of grief in the 1970s and early 1980s. Heston was a vocal supporter of Johnston’s GCA of 1968 and the follow up legislation that would have restricted handguns. He was that way well into the 1970s. Then he changed and before he shuffled off this mortal coil, did good service in the cause of firearms rights.
Converts are like that sometimes.
The fact is Trumps 2nd amendment stance is actually stronger than Ted Cruz as far as a offensive strategy. Trump wants to extend the equal protection act to the 2nd amendment. Very doable and the liberals themselves paved the way with the gay marriage crap. it would be nice to se them mashing their teeth when the same principle means no state can restrict they types of guns, magazines and out of state carry permits.
Cruz id a very strong abstract supporter of the 2nd amendment, but he proposes no such line of action. I am sure he would appoint good justices, but Trump is better on this issue at the moment, unless Cruz decides to copy him.
Did Donald’s son also get him to change on all the other flip flops? There are just TOO MANY of them to believe Donald, Sr. could change his mind - WAY too many.
Many politicians, whether they have never been in office before, or have already served, have told us what we want to hear. We elect them. Most of them, imo, disappoint us.
Time to support TrusTED, who ALREADY has done what we want.
“Cruz is no stranger to the nation’s highest court. As the solicitor general of Texas, he found himself arguing some of the most consequential cases of the last decade. On his Senate webpage, he lists six cases that established “landmark national victories”:
U.S. sovereignty against the United Nations and the World Court in Medellin v. Texas;
The Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms;
The constitutionality of the Texas Ten Commandments monument;
The constitutionality of the words “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance;
The constitutionality of the Texas Sexually Violent Predator Civil Commitment law; and
The Texas congressional redistricting plan.
Cruz has filed more than 80 briefs in Supreme Court cases, including one defending Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties. Sens. John Cornyn (R–Texas), Mike Lee (R –Utah) and David Vitter (R–La.), also signed that amicus brief.
