Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) responded to 145 companies pushing for more gun laws by suggesting corporate gun control is “social signaling at the country club.”
On September 12, Breitbart News reported the GAP, Levi Strauss, Pinterest, Twitter, Yelp, and 140 other companies sent a letter to Congress asking for universal background checks and legislation allowing court orders to seize firearms.
The Hill reports that Cruz responded to the letter while attending a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor on Thursday. He said, “I don’t think it’s a positive thing to see big corporations shifting their focus from their customers and actually doing what they were created to do into trying to become political players on divisive social issues.”
Cruz observed that the corporate gun control push “is about social signaling at the country club.”

There is a very small group of elites who wish us disarmed, who understand history, guns, gun technology, and power.
There is a much larger group of elites who wish us disarmed, who do not understand history, guns, gun technology, and power.
There is a much larger group of voluntarily unarmed people who do not want anyone but the government to be armed. They do not generally understand history, guns, gun technology, and power.
There is the largest group of all; people who have not thought about the issue much, who have been swayed by the relentless propaganda in the media, who think more gun control means more safety. They know almost nothing of history, guns, gun technology, and power relationships.
Typical Fascism pattern - cooperation between business and government to suppress the citizens.

I think Ted’s language here, descriptions, are spot on!
