He’s the guy.
The naybobs would like us to think that the second Amendment doesnt pertain to militias as a firewall to tyranny. Well here is what James Madison said in a message to Congress, Nov 8th, 1808. “For people who are free, and mean to remain so, a well organized and armed militia is their best security.”
Why not simply have every criminal under go an Intergalactic Background Check whenever they steal a gun or buy it off the street?
Let’s say Joe burglar (Not his real name) is breaking into a house and he comes across a gun – why not require him to call the government for his required Intergalactic Background Check before he can take that gun?
Make it a law that criminals will have to call (everyone has cell phones these days) the Intergalactic background check Department Interdicting Outlaw Transactions (IDIOT for short)
Why not have a commonsense solution like that?
CRUZ or LOSE!I’ll post what I put on another thread on this video- sorry to those who’ve already seen it:
In ONE answer, to a question that was supposed to be loaded, Cruz:
1. Pointed out clearly how polls can be skewed depending on how the question is asked
2. Background checks to purchase firearms are already in place
3. The federal government has no business between two people dealing with a private exchange and the American people don’t want that either
4. Framed his answer in terms of himself and the reporter in a duck blind – included the reporter and the listener and himself in a common activity. He will not be an ivory tower politician, but one in touch with the common man.
5. Deftly switched the subject where it belonged – constitutional rights. What is popular does not trump the Bill of Rights.
6. Regimes have taken away guns. And even if it was popular at the time, it was an inevitable prelude to tyranny.
7. Our country was founded on a radical proposition, that our rights do not come from government that they come from God.
8. The second amendment is there so that you and I can protect our homes and our families. A bit of a constitutional lesson here, as well as personalizing it again.
9. The second amendment is also a check against government tyranny and is not subject to public opinion polls. He finished up the answer by coming back around to the question and addressing it directly again.
All done in 2 minutes and 22 seconds.
I cannot wait for the debates! This man is brilliant. And even better, is a true conservative able to articulate his vision calmly and clearly, and back it up with history and facts.
No one can articulate the conservative position better than Senator Cruz. He’s the best candidate we have had in decades. Brilliant.
