Just days after shooters in San Bernardino opened fire and killed 14 people, Ted Cruz will introduce his National 2nd Amendment Coalition at Crossroads Shooting Sports in Johnston, Iowa Friday.
According to a report in Politico, the event was previously scheduled, but not canceled because Cruz spokesman Catherine Frazier told Politico “even in the midst of horrific events like this, we should never rush to take away the basic liberties enshrined in our Constitution that are guaranteed to law-abiding American citizens.”
As Politico pointed out, the Crossroads Shooting Sports boasts that part of its mission is to “glorify God in all we do and to be a positive influence to all who come in contact with CrossRoads Shooting Sports LLC.”
It’s amazing how these gun nuts are never around to stop the massacres they purport to be protecting us from.
Well, I’m sure that there are RWNJs saying that the massacre was due in part to California’s strict gun laws.
At least if NRA’s reaction to the 2014 Isla Vista shootings is any guide: “The blame needs to be placed on the politicians in California who time and time again their answer to these issues are more and more gun control laws.”
Anybody who doubts that today’s Republican Party is a de facto theocratic party (a theocratic party whose worship of guns is second only to its worship of the god of white Evangelical Christianists) is willfully ignoring the evidence that’s presented to them on a daily basis. Ted Cruz is the perfect candidate for today’s GOP.
Yes. But they don’t say that about the PP shooting. So apparently they DO want there to be some “gun free” zones…
