Nearly every potential Republican presidential contender will be speaking Friday on a single issue: gun rights.
As First Draft considered how best to parse their speeches at the National Rifle Associations Leadership Forum in Nashville, we hit on a bullet-point approach. And yes, that sent us down a gun-pun rabbit hole. (Or was it into a foxhole?) Senator Ted Cruz of Texas addressed the forum.
NRA Rating: A+
Guns Owned: Two
Bulls-Eye: Mr. Cruz recalled sending a letter to Harry Reid following the Sandy Hook tragedy promising to filibuster any legislation that undermines the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. That comment was met with an extended standing ovation.
Misfire: None. He relied heavily on the stump speech he has been polishing as the first Republican to announce his candidacy.
Cold Dead Hands Moment: Recalling the beginnings of the Texas Revolution, Mr. Cruz said: If Hillary Clinton is going to join with Barack Obama and the gun grabbers and come after our guns, then what I say, is come and take it.(continued)

Two guns only? I will take what I can get with Cruz though... seems like best candidate.
Cruz is compelling millions. We have such great candidates and they are surging and she is a liar and spiraling around the drain of political history. She has never done a thing except be female and stand by her decadent disbarred and impeached man.!! She is a totally worthless liar. Tell her the truth on Benghazi is on its way.
I think he just earned another $50 from me.
I cant see less than 5. Shotgun, real handgun, real rifle and 22lr rifle and handgun.
I talked to his people today and I’m down for $2 million. The lady joked that now she could get a new computer that works right. LOL
IIRC they each have a handgun.
Buy OA, VSTO, RGR hand over fist. But not more than 10%. OA is this coming years winner IMHO.
Incoming from anWalker fangirl in 3, 2, 1...
Is Hi Point publically traded?
Did you see the post of Cruz firing an M249 Machine gun? He was enjoying himself.
I just found this about Cruz that completes the clinging to our guns and bibles meme:
Ted Cruz: The Gays are waging ‘jihad’ against ‘religious freedom’
“During a presidential candidate forum hosted by an Iowa homeschool group yesterday, Ted Cruz lashed out at the gay community for waging a jihad against so-called religious freedom laws in states such as Arkansas and Indiana.
Cruz, speaking at a panel moderated by conservative talk show host Steve Deace, who regularly castigates the Rainbow Jihad, told the crowd of homeschooling activists that they should fear the jihad that is being waged right now in Indiana and Arkansas, going after people of faith who respect the biblical teaching that marriage is the union of one man and one woman.
By condemning this gay jihad, Cruz said, he could bring people together to defend religious freedom.
Other likely candidates present at the forum included Gov. Bobby Jindal and past Iowa caucus victors former Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Sen. Rick Santorum.”

How are you proceeding with regards to raising that capital?
Thanks. I was asleep at that time.
Keep up the good work with your PAC and keep us informed with what they say to you at Cruz’s headquarters. I find your ability to raise money breathtaking. (I can’t even sell church raffle tickets;)
>> Two guns only?
I have it on good authority that he used to have more, but he lost the rest of them in an unfortunate boating accident. Just like so many careless boaters here on FR did. ;-)
