White House press secretary Josh Earnest is chiding Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) for a fundraising page declaring that President Obama "wants your guns."
"I think he's appealing to people's anxieties and insecurities, and even outright fears, in an attempt to win votes for his presidential campaign. That's unfortunate," Earnest said Thursday. "In some cases, it veers into the territory of being irresponsible."
The page, which appears on Cruz's presidential campaign website, drew scrutiny on Tuesday after Obama rolled out new executive actions meant to expand background checks on gun purchases.
The fundraising pitch shows Obama dressed in military garb, including a black helmet and jacket adorned with his 2008 campaign logo. "Obama Wants To Take Your Guns" reads the headline.
It's the second time in two days that Earnest targeted Cruz, who has shot to the top of Republican presidential primary polls in the early-voting state of Iowa.
On Wednesday, the spokesman teased Cruz about his U.S. citizenship after rival Donald Trump’s attacks on the senator's Canadian birthplace.
Well technically Obama does not want to take possession of your guns at the White House, he prefers to ship them to either Mexico for the drug gangs or to Libya for you know whom!
Dont put the muslim sodomite in a military-type uniform, it is offensive.
Tell truth to power.
We’ve know what they want since 1962! In 1976 they spelled it out real well!

“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily-given the political realities-going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal-total control of handguns in the United States-is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition-except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors-totally illegal.”

“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”

HCI, around 1984, came out in favor of a ban on semi-auto rifles and shotguns.
But it’s true.
0bama wants the guns before or at the same time he brings in his “refugee” civilian security force...to start the shooting.
I think Ted should have Ted as his running mate. Cruz and Nugent, that would make liberal heads explode.
BTTT!
DAY 3....CRUZ CAUCUS TOUR....Short and Powerful!
I love these daily take outs....shows the people we can all relate to...they listen to this man and he purposely chooses to get right there with the grassroot peoples. They are as much the focus in this as Cruz is....just love it!

This is what leftists do when they're on the losing side of the debate and unfortunately it's a great Alinsky tactic.
Note the passive-aggressive, casual tone. The admonishment, eye-glasses perched at the nose, parental--like voice, as if Cruz just spilled milk on the dinner table with company over.
This ad nails Obama, or else they would not have responded to it.
Pot, and kettle bit.
Heheh... Flak... over Target... Boom.
