Ted Cruz: Why the School Shooting in Uvalde Texas Was Disastrous
Ted Cruz is shooting his mouth off again. Cruz said the killing of nineteen innocent fourth graders at Robb Elementary School In Uvalde Texas is "politically suspicious". He said Democrats are already using the deaths of those poor young children to campaign in the upcoming midterm elections. He said "AOC is already signaling that the Democrats intend to make dead children the centerpiece of their campaigns."
AOC says it's 'internationally embarrassing' the US had 288 school shootings while other G7 countries saw just 5 in the same 10-year period
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday characterized the rate of school shootings in the US as a mark of global shame.
Addressing Becky Pringle, the president of the National Education Association during a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing on gun violence, the New York Democrat asked, "Between 2009 and 2018, how many school shootings did the United States have?"
"288," Pringle responded.
Ocasio-Cortez then asked how many school shootings the US' G7 partners — Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the UK — collectively had during the same period. "Five," Pringle said. That means that between 2009 and 2018 the US saw 57 times more school shootings than other G7 countries combined.
Cruz, who was born in Canada, said, "AOC should go back where she came from." BTW, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was born in the Bronx (New York City).
Cruz said he questions the "timing" of the school shooting. He said it's "convenient" that the shooting occurred as the midterm campaign season is beginning. Cruz said he wouldn't be surprised if the investigation turns up evidence that the shooter was a Democrat. And Cruz said the shooting has "thrown a monkey wrench" into his own legislative strategy. Because of this unfortunate incident, I am having to postpone a major piece of gun legislation that I was about to introduce in the Senate.
Cruz had planned to introduce his new "Machine Gun Law" on the Fourth of July. The law would have issued licenses for fully automatic weapons to any White person who is a registered Republican. Cruz said this will make it possible for "good Americans" to protect their families from vicious prairie dogs, rabid raccoons and deranged Democrats. Cruz said it will also make it possible for his constituents to enjoy his favorite breakfast - "machine gun bacon".
According to Cruz, anyone who opposes his Machine Gun Law is a bacon hating unAmerican Democrat. I'll just wait until after the midterm elections. When Republicans take over both houses of Congress, my bill will easily pass. We will win by such a huge majority that we can also override a Biden veto.

Cruz said, "America will be much safer if every White Republican is open carrying a machine gun."
Ted Cruz, who was born in Canada, told AOL to go back to where she came from? LOL
I thought machine guns were already legal - weren't they on display at the NRA convention?
Machine guns are extremely difficult to get because the license is almost impossible to get.
The only guy I know who has machine guns was an Olympic shooter (while serving in the Army reserves) and who is now a Federal Treasury agent. I have another friend who is a gunsmith. He has an FFL butt he still hasn't gotten approved for fully automatic weapons.
I can guarantee you, no one I know with fully automatic anything, has a federal license.
and most gun clubs look the other way,
or, like my biker BIL, live out in the AZ desert, along Mexican drug mule trails
and routinely "light up" favored trails and steal the drugs.
I've seen a lot of impressive military hardware in private collections during my sales career, but it wasn't as shocking as the owner's willingness to openly display them to a virtual stranger.
Many years ago, I knew a member of the John Birch Society in California. He proudly showed me his arsenal (which was hidden in his underground bomb shelter). He had an array of military weapons (including machine guns, grenades, land mines, mortars and even a flame thrower). He told me he needed that shit for the upcoming race war. He said, "We have the numbers and the weapons to kill every one of those fucking "N-words."
One of my Army instructors had a Thomson submachine gun with the 100 round type C drum magazine.
That's some gangster shit!
Ted Cruz could make some bacon with that.
Republicans are trying to appease their gun toting base with some pitiful straw man arguments.
Steve Scalise (the House Minority Whip) said (about 9/11):
Airplanes were used that day as the weapon to kill thousands of people and to inflict terror on our country. There wasn’t a conversation about banning airplanes.
We didn't ban aircraft butt they was lots of action including the creation of a major new department and lots of new regulations in airports enforced by the TSA.
United States Department of Homeland Security
The United States Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ) is the U.S. federal executive department responsible for public security , roughly comparable to the interior or home ministries of other countries. Its stated missions involve anti-terrorism, border security, immigration and customs, cyber security, and disaster prevention and management. [3]
It began operations in 2003, formed as a result of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 , enacted in response to the September 11 attacks . With more than 240,000 employees, DHS is the third-largest Cabinet department, after the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs . Homeland security policy is coordinated at the White House by the Homeland Security Council . Other agencies with significant homeland security responsibilities include the Departments of Health and Human Services , Justice , and Energy .
America, the greatest nation on earth except for the fact that we can't protect our kids.
That's just damn funny!!
Yeah.
Kavika rocks those memes.
And where have you been sister....Have been missing you.
Biden should make bazookas legal.
Then we could call him bazooka Joe...
I thought Democrats hated guns especially semi-automatic rifles? Aren't we the Party of Pussies?
Of the many firearms this liberal owns, the Glock-17 and the AR-15 are my favorites.
Both are capable of filling tiny groups from a long way away.
Both are equipped with a compact flashlight and a green laser.
I currently have a .380 but Mr G says he wants to get me an AR-15 for the zombie apocalypse. He just bought himself one. Funny thing about this weapon...it does not fire automatic only semi. It looks quite a bit like the M-16 I fired in the Air Force except our weapons did have an automatic option and no we weren't not allowed that option on the firing range.
What I really want is a pump action 12 gauge
I love pump actions.
Shotguns are cool too.
I bought a 12 gauge "single shot" pump action at Walmart. Then I removed the wooden dowel so I can load five additional shells.
negative. you want an unplugged semi-auto 12 ga. and shells with the right size of buckshot.
I will stick with my Stevens 520/30 Trench gun. Full military with heat shield and bayonet, oh and it's a dead slam as well.
2 funny
Rather fond of my Berretta semi auto 12 gauge. An old 1201FP.
Welcome to civilian life.
I much prefer a semi auto to a full auto in any caliber but the .22 long rifle.
Why?
Click click boom
That is what I want honestly. I want a pump action shotgun.
