Warning against a potential Hillary Clinton presidency in 2016, GOP candidate Ted Cruz claimed that the Democratic frontrunner would outright ban gun ownership, effectively repealing the Second Amendment.
Cruz’s warning comes at an especially urgent time as progressives rally behind their leaders like Clinton and Obama to ram gun control down Americans’ throats. All the more reason to keep Clinton out of the White House.

If Cruz really said this, he is blatantly lying, and misleading people. The repeal of an amendment requires 2/3 majority in both houses of Congress, and ratification by 3/4 of the states. The Supreme Court has no say in the matter, nor will President Clinton. Cruz is a Constitution lawyer, and knows this, which makes his bald-faced lies that much more egregious.
Adding an amendment or taking away an amendment can not be done by Supreme Court. Must be put in law and then ratified by by 75% of the states. Ted has trouble with the truth. That crazy evangelical.
Ted Cruz can’t distinguish facts from the many lies he tells.
Ted Cruz is a fear mongering moron pandering to clueless halfwits who don’t understand basic civics
I think democratic candidates love the fact that the two leading Republican candidates are using fear and ignorance as their primary campaign strategies.. Perhaps after ted losses he can familiarize himself with the roles of the three branches in the federal government.
They might not be able to rescind the amendment, but with the right case, they could rule that only the military or police have the right to keep and bear arms. Or they could rule that the government can restrict certain classes if firearms… Like if there’s a total ban on semi-automatic rifles and pistols. Or they could rule on ammo restrictions if Congress passed some draconian law.
If this particular SCOTUS can rule as they have against religious liberty and against States rights regarding marriage, then adding a few more Ginsbergs or Kennedys will, for all intents and purposes, kill the second amendment.
For a lawyer he’s pretty stupid
Wow. I didn’t realize there could be that much stupid in one thread.
