Perry To NRA: Texas “Is Still A Place That Loves Freedom” (Cruz)

Perry says there are "no easy fixes" to gun violence, but that limiting gun ownership is not the answer.

"In Texas, we believe in freedom, personal responsibility, and the God-given right to defend yourself and your family,” Perry said.

“We never lose faith in our Founding Fathers' wisdom to include the Second Amendment to the Constitution among the Bill of Rights,” he said.

"A threat to gun ownership is a threat to a basic Constitutional right, and the NRA is about safe and responsible gun ownership."

.....U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told NRA members Friday the federal government should put its efforts into prosecuting criminals who illegally buy guns and not into trying to pass new gun control laws.

Cruz said President Barack Obama's administration has not done enough to prosecute felons and fugitives who illegally buy guns and has cut funding for such efforts.
