Cruz: Dems in Power 'Come and Try to Take Your Guns'
The Hill ^ | 12/22/2015 | Lisa Hagen

Posted on 12/22/2015 1:02:18 PM PST by conservativejoy

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) knocked the Virginia attorney general's Tuesday announcement that the commonwealth will stop recognizing concealed carry permits that were issued in more than two-dozen other states.

The Republican presidential candidate, making a campaign stop in Nashville, Tenn., blasted Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring's (D) decision, which will take effect Feb. 1, to no longer observe permits issued in 25 states that have weaker gun laws than Virginia's.

"That's the consequences when you elect Democrats to power, and friends don’t let friends vote Democrat," Cruz told the crowd.

He continued, "When they get in power, they come and try to take your guns." Gun control has been thrust to the forefront following mass shootings at a Colorado Planned Parenthood clinic and in San Bernardino, Calif. Cruz is a staunch defender of gun rights and has made the Second Amendment a pinnacle of his campaign.

The Texas senator rolled out a Second Amendment gun coalition at an Iowa shooting range two days after the California shooting and linked gun rights as a way to strengthen national security.

"It's these constitutional rights that keep us safe," Cruz told supporters in Iowa. "You don't stop bad guys by taking away our guns. You stop bad guys by using our guns."

Cruz has surged in national polls to second place and even surpasses Trump in Iowa GOP primary polls, according to RealClearPolitics average.

Ben Franklin's warning to the British.

Suppose a military force sent into America; they will find nobody in arms; what are they then to do? They cannot force a man to take stamps who chooses to do without them. They will not find a rebellion; they may indeed make one.

Electing Hillary means (a) no more second amendment (after she puts her people on the SCOTUS), and (b) 10-20 million additional Muslims flooding in, maybe more.

Seems like an obvious violation of the "Privileges and Immunities" clause.

Oshiitte head will make the final push this year for the guns. If this happens some nut will take him out sparking the civil war. Just my prediction.

you are very welcome

sometimes (oft times) others have already written what I want to say, and frequently much better, too

Merry Christmas, etc.
fhc


verses 9 and 10 of the below also apply (these gun-grabber-wannabees seemingly have no idea just how much bloodshed they’d create if they ever get to infringe any more on Americans’ 2nd Amendment rights .... it takes no genius to know that the country would be waist-high in a terrible bloody carnage... OR.... “those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it” Santayana...) anyway, King Solomon said the same thing (Ecclesiastes 1):


That which hath been is that which shall be,
And that which hath been done is that which shall be done;
And there is nothing new under the sun.

10Is there a thing whereof it is said: ‘See, this is new’?—it hath been already, in the ages which were before us. 11There is no remembrance of them of former times; neither shall there be any remembrance of them of latter times that are to come, among those that shall come after.


12I Koheleth have been king over Israel in Jerusalem. 13And I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven; it is a sore task that God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith. 14I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.
15That which is crooked cannot be made straight;
And that which is wanting cannot be numbered.

Some nut may TRY..... They won’t succeed.

He does not need guns. His vast stables of protectors will prevent such a thing. Elitists know they are safe.

ps:

of course, there is the theory that the gun-grabber=wannabes (at least some of them) WANT the obviously=predictable results of their scheme...
bloodshed, on a massive scale, in the streets of America

so that USA will be further weakened and
a direct (no longer ‘velvet gloved’) Islamonazi dictatorship can be proclaimed

people do normally intend the clearly-foreseeable results of their actions, especially when they maintain their behaviors consistently over a long period of time

just a thought...

‘”That’s the consequences when you elect Democrats to power, and friends don’t let friends vote Democrat,” Cruz told the crowd.’

Nope, thats the consequence when you abdicate your rights. It matters nothing which politicial party is or isnt in power. They all eventually play the tyrant and need a decisive smack down. When you act like sheep dont be surprised when the pols play the butcher.

Well worth the read....thanks. Here’s to a Happy, Healthy New year in which we won’t need to use our weapons defensively.

I would only midly disagree. The current anti-gunners now seem to be overwhelmingly our friends on the left side of the aisle. Here’s to a Happy, Healthy and safe New Year in which we will not have to use our weapons for defense.

glad you like the link!

yes its a very good one...

i hope people share it

(its been a long time since 5th grade history when I learned that stuff, and apparently US history — other than Obama’s ‘tremendous Islamic contributions to it’ -— is no longer taught in public schools)

How could there be a civil war if the anti-s don’t have guns?
Just asking.

“How could there be a civil war if the anti-s don’t have guns?”

Haven’t you heard? They’ll have help.

First, all those fat, affirmative action, federal bureaucrat jellyfish squatting behind their desks will magically transform into combat-experienced Rambos.

Next, the government is armed with billions and billions of cop-killer bullets, meaning that every bureaucrat, including your local mailman, will waddle onto the battlefield carrying 100,000 rounds along with defibrillators and Bengay.

All our soldiers and Marines have been secretly trained by Heinreich Himmler to act like the Nazi Gestapo when the time is right.

Finally, at least 500 divisions of ChiComm infantry are hiding in the Texas sagebrush.

Hope this helps.
