Ted Cruz Rejects White House/DOJ Universal Background Check Plan
« on: September 19, 2019, 01:46:28 pm »
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) rejected the White House/Department of Justice (DOJ) universal background check plan that was circulated in a memo on Wednesday.
Breitbart News reported that the memo largely mirrored Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) gun control bill and would require the issuance of a “bill of sale” and the preservation of a “chain of title” for gun sales that do not currently require government oversight.

The Hill reports that Attorney General William Barr tried to talk Sen. Cruz into supporting the gun control, but Cruz would not.

Background checks have proven no barrier to mass shooters in America as nearly every mass shooter of the past 12 years acquired his guns via a background check. All the while, criminals are arrested on gun charges but not prosecuted to the fullness of the law.

Cruz summed this up, saying, “If we want to stop crimes, we need to focus on the bad guys, not the good guys.”

On September 13, 2019, Breitbart News reported Cruz saying President Donald Trump will lose in 2020 if he cuts a gun control deal with the Democrats.

I'm glad at least one of our senators has read the Constitution.

Resident Trumpers?  It was a couple of our resident NTs who were just saying how Cruz has gone to the dark side and they would never trust him, and blah, blah, blah...

I really like Trump. However, on this one he's wrong and Cruz is right. If Trump pushes this really hard it will hurt him.

Cruz has been right all along that the big push by the govt should be to get local law enforcement to input the information into the existing system and to punish criminals with guns.

Cruz is right once again, and I think most of us have confidence in him when it comes to the 2A.  Trump would be wise to listen to him for once.  His re-election, depends on it.

Hurt everyone.  Looks like we are stuck with him but people are not going to vote for him if he continues his assault on the Constitutional rights of gun owners.

Cruz is absolutely correct it will do nothing.  NOTHING.

    In this current Era of Trumpism how many Good Conservatives have we seen washed upon our shores, Lee and Amash come quickly to mind.  Cruz backed off for a couple of years, so far it's paid off, IMHO, he's still alive and relevant.   

    It's Trump's party.

Thank you Ted for again daring to be the odd man out when it counts. It is noticed here for the most part (with the usual suspects ignoring the issue again).
