WINTERSET, Iowa - Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz on Monday warned voters that their Second Amendment rights are in jeopardy if they elect Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton this November.
"If Hillary Clinton is elected president, the Supreme Court will rule that no individual American has any individual right to keep and bear arms whatsoever," the Texas senator said. "And the government can make it a felony for you to own a firearm and protect your family."
The GOP candidate and Iowa frontrunner backed up his claim by arguing that the next president will likely be responsible for naming anywhere from one to four Supreme Court justices during his or her tenure.
"We are one justice away from a five-justice, ultra-left wing majority that will tear down our constitutional liberties fundamentally," Cruz said.
That same liberal-run court will also move to take down religious symbols on public property, he added.
"If Hillary Clinton is elected president, we will see the Supreme Court ordering Ten Commandments monuments to be torn down on courthouses and public steps all across this country," Cruz said during a Q&A with evangelical leader James Dobson.
After Cruz warned that the government might make it a felony to own a gun, an audience member at the packed event at the Winterset Stage called out: "Come and take it!"
The crowd cheered and murmured agreement.
"I think Iowa and Texas have some things in common," Cruz joked.
After an already long day, Cruz has one more bus tour campaign stop Monday night - beginning at 10:45 p.m. CST in Missouri Valley.
John Roberts fooled everybody. Or else he’s been compromised in the worst possible way.
Cruz will take Hillary down in debates, no question about it. He will win the general election.

That is flat out delusional. If Cruz were to somehow get the nomination, the msm would destroy Cruz to the point where even he would vote for hillary.

Jeez....someone is delusional but it clearly is not the poster to whom you commented. I guess you fear the main-stream media.
“If you don’t like the ratings for any reason, please contact Conservative Review’s Editor-in-Chief, “The Great One,” Mark Levin.”
.....................................................................................................................................
I don’t, and Mark Levin is just another loud-mouthed a$$hole whose 15 minutes of “fame” is about over. We should thank Trump for having exposed the likes of Mark Levin and others of his ilk! Go Trump!

Is THAT how far you’ve fallen? You’ve been reduced to attacking one of the GIANTS of constitutional conservatism who has been FIGHTING FOR CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATISM for decades?
IMHO, that’s pretty pathetic and sad.
Excellent comment, you are exactly right, hillary will have the media to help her and keep telling the public how she won the debates and the “I’m the greatest” and you’re inept debate strategy will not be enough.
I’m reminded of the 96 primary where all we really had was Dole and Forbes. My brother-in-law and I supported Forbes, by default, when political discussions would start at family gatherings a ninety year old retired physician/professor would loudly chant DOLE, DOLE, DOLE, DOLE, DOLE, DOLE.
Chuckle! So far the only ones laughing are the Cruz supporters. After a solid six months of your trolling Cruz threads on FR, Cruz is still crushing Trump in every single FR straw poll thread. LOL!
Cruz will not win a single state primary
Let me see.....There was another twice divorce, gay marriage loving, abortion loving New Yorker who led the GOP primary polls for over a year, much longer than Trump has. How many states Did Giuliani win again? A big fat ZERO.
I repeat, Ted Cruz will CRUSH Donald Trump and win the nomination.
.
Voluntary blindness?
Cruz is the sole candidate that knows the court like the back of his hand.
It was the clearly presented arguments of Cruz’ amicus that salvaged the Heller decision.
.
Cruz crushes Hitlery, even in California; 54 electoral votes that the GOP has lacked since Reagan left office.
Ted is a Cruz missile.
.
You are a delusional joke here.
Cruz is even turning California Red for his election. (Trump, no chance in CA)
.
“And, on that, he is completely accurate...as I think we ALL can agree.”
It needs to be pointed out that courts issue opinions, NOT legally binding diktates. The only way a court opinion can become law is if a legislature passes a LAW that agrees with that court opinion.
“You’ve been reduced to attacking one of the GIANTS of constitutional conservatism who has been FIGHTING FOR CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATISM for decades?”
Mark Levin is doing the same thing to Trump as the GOPe. It is one thing to be for another candidate, that’s his right, but he’s trying to tear down Trump, and that’s unacceptable to me. He’s the one who’s fallen, not me! Mark Levin doesn’t get to “define” conservatism for me.
You DO tag your own problems well don’t cha? You’re so bent on damning that you can’t see the blessing right before your nose.
Nobody said factor Cruz OUT. A lot of folks including me are saying to right-position him.
Isn’t that Christmas tree of his scary, at the least?
You talked about panties on Trump’s stage... I’d like to check the DNA on some of those panties on Cruz’s stage too.
And it looks like Cruz did not derail the Gay Marriage thing, just to school you in a bit of humility. Something bigger is needed to stop this line of folly.
Hillary promises a bunch of freebies at a debate, Cruz says no: Cruz gets crushed.
Trump in contrast will say sure, we could promise the moon, but what kind of unsustainable cockamamie load is that going to create on America? Wouldn’t that be a schlong job? (Etc. in the vein that only Donald can do best.)
.
There is no Cruz stage.
Cruz is the street of reality.
Cruz has 3 or 4 SCOTUS judges to appoint in his first term. That will turn this country in the right direction.
Trump has praised the disastrous judgements of recent years.
.
Moronic Troll.
Cruz has handed Hitlery her A$$ in California.
Every newspaper in CA had a warning to worry about Cruz, not Trump on their front page this morning.
What did he put that Christmas tree on? A “street of reality”? Isn’t that the very thing you’ve been pumping as unreality with the utmost vigor? A mite hypocritical aren’t you?
