No other presidential administration has been like the Obama administration on guns, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said Friday.

“No administration is the history of this country has ever come after guns like this administration,” Cruz said during a speech at the Values Voter Summit on Friday.

Cruz has been an outspoken critic of the Obama administration on gun control. He also strongly opposed the Obama administration’s last push to pass stricter gun laws and close gun purchasing loopholes. Congress was unable to pass that proposal. While Congress was considering that proposal Cruz publicly challenged Vice President Joe Biden to a debate on gun control.
