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.”
