That’d be dumb.

Dum-buh.

Trump has promised to always protect Americans 2nd amendment rights, Ted. Did you miss that?

Might be an old photo. Beards are disgusting maggot infested things that look like a female groin. I suggest only gays have beards.

Most D voters have firearms however and would not be inclined to give them up

Don't worry Ted, we'd rather have the meaning of the 2nd Amendment gently euthanized from our cold dead hands by Four Dimensional Chess than have it publically executed by anti-aircraft firing squad by our Democratic Kim Jong Un wannabes.

Ted did not say Trump has agreed to a deal, he said IF Trump agrees to a deal. I wish you would read.

After almost 3 years, Cruz is still nursing his grudge against Trump for being president instead of him—well actually Hillary, she would have walked all over Cruz?

We don’t need to be “warned” about these straw man issues and neither does Trump.

Cruz either needs to get fully on board the Trump Train or get off and declare he is going to run against Trump.

And why does he need Cruz to tell him this? He has been doing a lot of these Trump will lose 2020 statements lately. How about he stops worrying about Trump?

Exactly. Forget about 2024 Ted. Support Trump NOW.

Ted is right, like it or not. Plenty of people are going to sit it out.

Correct.

Many people here seem to think that Trump is playing another 3-D chess move by supporting (in public and on camera) a Federal expansion on Red Flag laws and gun control.

He isn't.

Trump says he supports "red flag laws" as means of gun control

"Those firearms can be taken through rapid due process."
President Trump, August 5th, 2019

BREAKING: Trump Again Voices Support for Red Flag Gun Confiscation Laws, Graham Plans to Introduce Bill

And let's not forget, Trump banned bump stocks in the wake of Las Vegas. Let's not get into what happened in Vegas, but let's just say that Trump knows what happened there had nothing to do with bump stocks, or the Second Amendment. But he banned them anyway.

If you read Trump's speeches and interviews before he became President, he was very liberal on some issue. Gun control was something he had voiced support for on several occasions. He was also "pro-choice" in past years. In a 1999 interview with Tim Russert, Trump said: “I’m very pro-choice.”

Having said that, I do believe he is not the same man he was 20, or even 10 years ago. There is ample evidence (including testimony from Rev. Franklin Graham) that Trump gave his heart to Christ and became an evangelical Christian during the Rev. Billy Graham's 95th birthday celebration.

The Left is salivating over Red Flag laws, many states have them now, and many more will pass them.

California is expanding theirs, and are sending it to Gov Newsom, who has vowed to sign it. The law would allow almost ANYONE to ANONYMOUSLY call in the police to take someones property and violate their Constitutional rights at will.

Serious Infringement: California Legislature Sends Bill Expanding Red Flag Laws To Gov. Newsom

Red Flag laws won't stop with guns. They will quickly expand into "Red Flagging" groups and people the Satanic Left hates: Christians, freethinkers, Jews, the "wealthy", Conservatives, patriots (labeled "white nationalists"), and anyone else.

This is a nightmare scenario.

The Federal Red Flag law (that Trump has voiced support for, although he has also shifted his position somewhat) would provide BILLIONS to the states to support this unconstitutional and tyrannical behavior. Every state would quickly follow suit to get their hands on "free" Federal money to terrorize the American people.

The Left has tried every other method to take your guns: calling semiautomatics "assault weapons" and banning them, making magazines greater than 10 rounds "illegal" and turning millions of Americans into instant Felons, restricting ammunition sales, eliminating gun sales "loop holes" (which are not "loopholes at all but Constitutional restrictions on the government trying to register your guns), and on and on.

If the President signs ANY "gun control" law, he will lose in 2020.

Cruz no longer has the right to voice his opinion? What are you afraid of?

Exactly it is just like Abortion.Trump will ruin the issue for the Democrats.They will choke on their gun one liners.

Go to whitehouse.gov and express your concerns on gun control to the President.

That done, recall all the rumors this week that “a deal will be announced”. So far, nothin’ doin’.

My hope is PDJT will advance a Red Flag bill that absolutely protects due process (no actions before a hearing) and throws the book at false accusers for committing felony perjury & puts them in prison.

Dems will react like a vampire to garlic.

I think PDJT knows the evil intent of the Dems: disarm white conservatives who voted for him. Safety, my foot.

Their evil intent is to get Trump to DO SOMETHING (that kills his chances of re-election).

Cruz won over Beto by only 2.5% of the total vote IN TEXAS last year.

By what percentage did Trump win over Hillary in 2016?

Cruz is not that smart and as another poster aptly stated, he did not endorse Trump at the convention.…That’s what Cruz did to depress the Republican vote for himself.

Perhaps the lack of endorsement had something to do with Trump accusing Cruz' father of complicity in the murder of John F. Kennedy. Or, perhaps it had something to do with attacking the physical appearance of Cruz' wife. Who knows, Perhaps John Bolton would have some insight into what Cruz' was feeling at the convention. Perhaps one's stand on this matter depends on whether you think payback is a one-way street.

Furthermore, you have no proof that any of this at the convention had anything to do with the final score in Cruz' Senate campaign. Perhaps it helped him pile up 2.5% in a state with disintegrating demographics.

All of this boils down to whether we place principles over persons. Either we are for the second amendment or we are for Donald Trump regardless of his position on the Second Amendment. Cheeto Jesus versus the Bill of Rights.

As of now, there is no conflict between Donald Trump and the Bill of Rights. As of now, Cruz is quite properly and publicly laying down a marker on behalf of his constituents to affect the debate, that's how politics is properly played, not by libelous accusations of assassination and demeaning one's physical appearance.

” ...If the President signs ANY “gun control” law, he will lose in 2020...

Yep. Conservative Sen. Cruz is probably right. Trump adopting left-wing anti-2A infringements would be an exceptionally stupid thing to do.
