Killing the 2nd Amendment has always been a top priority of the Left:

Al and Tipper Gore worked to associate mental health with our right to keep and bear arms.

Eric Holder as been a life-time advocate for gun control.

The list is long.

How Obama Denied Conservative Judges a Vote

".............Obama not only seeks to break the laws of the land, to make his own laws and then to demand that everyone abide by them, but he also wants a double standard in which these unique powers that he has claimed will be exclusive to his political movement. That goes beyond putting party ahead of country. It is the wholesale replacement of country with party and party with totalitarian ideology.

When he fought conservative judges based purely on ideology, Obama put party ahead of country. His judicial nominees were unqualified radicals who were manifestly hostile to the Constitution and put party ahead of country on the Supreme Court. Now Obama pleads with Republicans to put country ahead of party even while he schemes to once again find a way to put party ahead of country."......

Cruz's proposal to end lifetime tenure for justices likely to get scrutiny after Scalia's death

"WASHINGTON-Ted Cruz has long proposed, as part of his presidential campaign,ending lifetime tenure for all Supreme Court justices.

Cruz proposed a constitutional amendment last June after the Supreme Court ruled to uphold the Affordable Care Act and legalize same-sex marriage nationwide,saying the court had become a source of "judicial tyranny."

Such ideas are likely to become a prominent part of the presidential campaign now that Justice Antonin Scalia has died,leaving a vacancy on the court during an election year.

"The court's hubris and thirst for power have reached unprecedented levels," wrote Cruz in the National Review [June 26, 2015], quoting Scalia multiple times. "And that calls for meaningful action,lest Congress be guilty of acquiescing to this assault on the rule of law."

Supreme Court justices currently serve for life after they are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate,in part to shield them from popular opinion and to allow the judiciary to act as a check on other branches of government.

Cruz would require justices to appear on the ballot for retention elections every eight years "beginning with the second national election after his or her appointment,"he wrote. If any justice failed to win both a majority of all voters and majorities in at least 25 states,the proposal would have stripped them of their seat and barred them from future Supreme Court terms.

The proposal was criticized from both sides of the aisle for its potential to politicize the bench,including within a Judiciary subcommittee chaired by Cruz."...........

That is a stretch, however, Ted Cruz with the help of his buddy Roberts did save Obamacare. Thanks Ted!

The ONLY way the 2nd is known to be ‘saved’ is when every single State returns to Constitutional carry and all laws on the books are stricken...

These arguments re: who said what vs. full-auto vs. semi vs. stamp-tax vs. is just further noise over the fact that they all violate ‘...shall not be infringed’.

Killing the 2nd Amendment has always been a top priority of the Left:

Which Left? The Council of Foreign Relations left ? The same CFR that Mrs. Cruz was a member of ? That left?

Ted pounds his chest spouting, Constitution ! Meanwhile, Heidi and her NWO cronies at the CFR are promoting a North American Community, (think Euro-peon Union), as long as her Wall Street pals get a cut of the action.

The CFR is not 2nd Amendment friendly, at all. The Cruz power couple is full of s***. Two life long DC-Wall Street insiders, pass.

Private gun ownership has been an American right since before the Constitution.

The fact that Cruz was alive and present in the United States during the past 41 of his 45 years is proof positive, to Cruz bots, that he has safeguarded that right by his mere state of consistency.

Holder and Gores, of course, exclude themselves from the ban on gun ownership and protection. NO GUNS FOR DC POLITICIANS AND LAWYERS—the new bumper sticker

Maybe Ted Cruz’s name should be the one President Trump submits for the next SC justice. You don’t need to have a personality for the job, so maybe Cruz is the correct person for the court.
