Ted Cruz voted against stronger gun laws. Even the compromise.

Keep that in mind when he comes up for reelection in 2025

Doesn't matter. 2A is more important than your own child's life. And these two dads just proved it.

Abortion bans are more important than the fetuses or mothers life too. It’s never been about actual reason. It’s about control.

Frank Wilhoit, "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

2 men get pissed and open up on each other wounding the other's child.

How is that an argument for 2A?

Edit: If both were responsible gun owners this would not have happened.

You don't understand. These were two "responsible" and "law abiding" gun owners according to 2a advocates.

It just so happens that they were both emotionally unstable and found themselves in a tense situation with easy and ready access to a fire arm...

But these are the innocent law abiding citizens that may have been inconvenienced by gun reform...

I don't think they were saying that. I think they were pointing out that, from the Florida mans' point of view, the 2A is more important. And they're not wrong.

Yeah, one would only have had to go back to June to have an example of both Florida Senators (Scott/Rubio) voting against sensible gun legislation.

>The U.S. Senate late last night, by a 65-33 vote, approved a bipartisan gun measure — the most significant gun-related legislation in nearly 30 years — over the objections of Florida’s two Republican senators.

Nah, it gets people's attention. Texas is a Republican stronghold.

Trump only got 52% of the vote, and then he even baselessly accused TX of voter fraud.

Since then the TX Legislature passes a few laws to make it more difficult for minorities and liberals to vote.
