Cruz does not have a 2nd Amendment policy on his website.

Protect the Second Amendment

The right of law-abiding citizens to own firearms is fundamental to our liberty.
Second Amendment

It was no accident that our Founding Fathers enshrined the right to own firearms as the 2nd element of the Bill of Rights, immediately after establishing our free speech rights. I cannot and will not support any efforts to weaken The 2nd Amendment.

The 2nd Amendment is a central pillar of our Constitution. Our Founding Fathers added it explicitly in order to protect freedom in the United States of America. It provides our citizens the right to protect themselves from threats foreign or domestic.

The Second Amendment Is A Constitutional Right, Plain and Simple

The Second Amendment is about the American Dream.

I’ve always believed that the Second Amendment is about much more than the right to bear arms. At its core, the Second Amendment is about the American Dream.

The American Dream means having the opportunity to achieve happiness, which is possible, first and foremost, when you can start and raise a family in a home that is stable, safe and secure.

The safety of our families is not something we should be forced to hope the government can provide – it’s a fundamental right that every American deserves.

Dissenters try and stigmatize gun owners, but as we all know, responsibly exercising one’s Second Amendment right could mean the difference between life and death.

That’s one reason I, myself, have a concealed weapons permit. I have an A rating from the NRA, and recently, I introduced legislation to restore Second Amendment rights in the District of Columbia.

I’ve done all of that because I believe the Second Amendment is foundational to who we are as a country. It’s about preserving our God-given right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Anyone else?

Cruz does not have a 2nd Amendment policy on his website.

Ted Cruz defended the Second Amendment and the right of every single American to keep and bear arms in front of the United States Supreme Court and did so successfully. He won that case.

His credentials on this issue are impeccable.

IMO, he doesn't need a 2nd Amendment policy on his website. It's been well established.
