Someone with more patience (and mind) than I have should start compiling a list of the Dim politicians who defend him and say he had no intention of killing any Jews,and it is slander to say that Muslims hate Jews.

On Wednesday, the U.S. attorney’s office for the Northern District of Texas announced that the man who reportedly sold Akram his gun, 32-year-old Henry “Michael” Dwight Williams, is facing a federal firearm charge.

Williams has been convicted of aggravated assault and drug charges in Dallas County and cannot legally possess a firearm.

“Tragically, that is how the vast majority of gun crimes happen: They get their guns illegally from criminals who it is already illegal for them to possess guns,” Cruz said.

Cruz said he has “led the charge for targeting criminals and felons to prevent them from getting firearms,” referencing an amendment he introduced to 2013 gun-control legislation that focused on prosecuting felons and others who illegally purchase firearms.

“I believe the right approach is to target the bad guys — to target felons, to target fugitives, to target terrorists and at the same time, to protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens … protecting their own families,” he said.

The 2013 legislation was opposed by the National Rifle Association and ultimately failed to overcome a filibuster in the Senate.
