During a campaign event in Iowa, Ted Cruz had a warning for gun owners:
On October 23, Senator and Republican presidential hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)
observed that the U.S. is one liberal Supreme Court justice away from going after the individual right to keep and bear arms with the intent of hampering, if not abolishing, the exercise of that right.Cruz was speaking at a campaign event in Iowa when he addressed the precarious position in which our gun rights sit.
According to the Des Moines Register, Cruz said, “One more liberal justice and our right to keep and bear arms [will be] taken away from us by an activist court.”
The media often criticizes Cruz for painting apocalyptic pictures, but this is no exaggeration. Hillary Clinton is operating under the mistaken notion that a majority of Americans support gun control, but lack the political clout to outlobby the NRA. It’s this farcical grip that she’s used to justify a campaign strategy built on taking executive action to overcome a constitutional right. If Hillary were to get elected, she’d likely look to appoint justices who would uphold such an action. All that would be necessary would be the resignation of one originalist justice.
