Sen. Ted Cruz and actress Alyssa Milano talk gun control, without insults
Houston Chronicle ^ | Sep. 10, 2019 | Taylor Goldenstein

While Cruz agreed that background checks need to be improved, he told Guttenberg and Milano that he thinks the most effective solutions focus on “the bad guys,” such as felons, fugitives and people “with serious mental illnesses that are a danger to themselves or others,” as opposed to law-abiding citizens.

Throughout the meeting Tuesday, Cruz repeatedly advocated for the 2013 Grassley-Cruz amendment that failed to pass at the time and which he reintroduced this year — and repeated a claim that PolitiFact debunked in November 2017, saying that it could have prevented the Sutherland Springs shooting.

That’s a bingo!!

The Operation Fast & Furious insanity should be on the front page of every paper and all over TV.

But it’s not because we are surrounded by zombie morons.

There isn’t a common cause in the massacres we’ve seen but there is a common factor that police and FBI were notified about these people and even after in person meetings/interviews they were turned loose (even after admitting they’d made terrorist threats).

Known Wolf attackers are the common factor

“Citizen, it is known to us that you own guns and that you voted for Trump. We’ll be contacting you shortly.”

Not only did I vote for Trump so did all of my guns. I'll be waiting. :)

Well since Politfact (a liberal funded organization) “debunked” Cruz’s “claim” then gee it must be true.

Not only that, Dershowitz said Cruz was one of the smartest students he ever had.

I just wrote “good stuff”

But alas I couldn’t get past the awkward first minute. Kudos to whatever substantive conversation that followed.

I’m with you, FRiend. Hope it’s not necessary.

Gun grabbers assume gun owners are meek little Fudds who will hand over their guns when the po-po show up at their doorstep.

That assumption will not end well.

Milano: it's not worth having little girls with shrapnel in their chest.

*****

Now, imagine how the little girls who are murdered in the womb feel as the forceps begin to rip them apart.

Or if wanting a bit less fallout, radiation, EMP, etc., “Ah, I see you brought small arms. I brought thermobaric weapons.”

And if some do meekly hand over some guns they will probably assume that that's that.

Assumptions are always risky things.
