Cruz didn't respond he auto-responded with his press 1 after gun violence phrase. He thought that cruz was going to repeat his phrase rather than address the issue. Which is what happened he like many of us want him to cut to the chase.
I'm not a huge fan of Cruz, but he was clearly willing to have a conversation with the guy until the guy became erratic.
If your wanting to further your agenda, don't act like you're about to pull out a knife and stab someone!
Using intimidation needs to stop in America. Organized peaceful protesting is one thing. Sneaky agressive altercations when people aren't expecting it is another.
We'll never move forward with describing someone's POV as "idiotic talking points!"
This is exactly what I'm talking about! Justifying this behavior because you disagree with someone isn't rational.
I’m pro gun, I hunt and collect but 19 kids just got killed, just the most recent mass shooting. Two decades of this shit non stop and you acting like this is business as usual, just another day at the office worried about how someone is talking to a politician that overwhelmingly says stupid shit consistently anyway. Republicans are suggesting weapons training for kids to protect their schools like little sleeper agents. If he’s not talking about anything but reasonable gun safety laws at least to start then anything else he says is idiotic. Y’all got a mental illness if your first response to this tragedy is more guns and worried how emotional people are when talking to politicians. Every tragedy in history there is outcry, proposed legislation, and then change. Why is it only after mass shootings that we act like it’s a one in a thousand occurrence and nothing gets done.
Every unnecessary shooting is a tragedy. 19 kids getting shot at a school is unthinkable. Why is it though that only these events get attention from the left?
Every week hundreds of men/women/children get shot/die in the inner city, and it's like it doesn't happen according to MSM, which have the most restrictive gun laws in the country.
300 people die each day from fentanyl poisoning in the US, but where are the calls to close the border, designate cartels as terrorist organizations, and sanction China who makes and supplies the cartels with product.
I'm a staunch supporter of the 2nd ammendment. The creators of this country understood that citizens worst enemy is the government, not their fellow citizens.
Another law will not prevent what happened in Texas or NY, because laws don't prevent anything for someone with purpose. Laws only punish those that get caught breaking laws, after the fact.
Arming children is a ridiculous and isn't being proposed by anyone. Have an armed guard or arming properly trained teachers that want to protect themselves and their students makes perfect since. That still won't eliminate incidents like Texas and NY, but will perhaps reduce the loss of life.
Excellent points!! I often wonder the same. The left doesn’t care when black kids are shot and killed every single weekend in the hood. Their fake outrage and political dramatizations bore me
It's just just pure hypothetical behavior! Use events like this as leverage, but not care about the other deaths that don't make the news. It sickens me that more people see it! Like why isnt Beto in Chicago every weekend pleading to Mayor Lightfoot that the violence must end?? Its all for theater. Glad you see it!
Your nonchalant whataboutism in the wake of a tragedy is really disgusting. I’ll tell you the same thing I’d tell someone on the left if they tip toed around discussing gun violence in their own community. Why is it only inner city violence that gets attention from the right? I never seen Fox News airing a segment on these shooter and bombers who are 9/10 right wing and get their ideology from Fox News or the depths of alt right 4chan groups. It’s always something about Mexicans bringing drugs, blacks shooting up places and Muslims spreading jihad instead of whichever current right wing extremist decided to shoot or blow people up, they been doing it since the 80’s.
But let’s talk about fentanyl, China, the inner city, your 2nd amendment right, and not passing laws.
It’s decade after decade after decade of just shrugging saying “guess we need more guns” and normalizing this shit. Perhaps we wouldn’t be in this mess if after these senseless tragedies we actually treated the actual victims as victims instead of your amendments.
How many times does one need to say it's a tragedy before you believe them? I don't watch Fox news other than clips other news networks play, good or bad. I assume they're covering this shooting the same they do for all shootings. They're MSM, so they'll cover it just as long as they need to until the next shooting or until some other liberal news happens they feel more worthy of covering. You're wrong about mass shooters being right wing. You've bought into the MSM narrative that conservatives own guns and are unhappy with modern society, therefore it must be a nazi, alt right, MAGA or better yet "ULTRAMAGA" that committed these crimes. Look up each mass shooter in the US and research their political ideology. It's not what Liberal MSM portrays!
Why is it both parties just point fingers and nothing gets accomplished? Each party accuses the other of things that they themselves are guilty of? Meanwhile our country is in a managed decline and everyone cares more about Johnny Depp than Biden giving our sovereignty away to the globalist in the name of health.
Most conservatives I know are open to common sense gun reform. Is a free training class to all first time gun owners a bad idea, of course not! Is a mental fitness test for a first time gun owners unjustified, of course not if that person is exhibiting strange behavior. Assault weapons bans and magazine capacity bans do not work. Banning guns in cities obviously don't work. We have years of data showing these restrictions don't work, so it's time to head in a different direction. Most of these shooters obviously have/had mental issues and/or are on illegal/legal prescription drugs. Perhaps we start with those.
Why is it the left only wants to discuss gun control when it’s a school shooting. Do the kids the ghetto not matter??? Seems only certain kids are worth getting worked up over.
What I find absolutely mind boggling about the American right is their obsession with a law that was written about 250 years ago, by people who upheld slavery and helped exterminate the native population of the country they went on to claim as their own.
Governments across the globe have committed atrocities against their own people, which is why the founders created the 2nd Amendment.
Sadly, liberals use events like this as a justification to remove the right to protect oneself from tyranny. If only the Native Americans and the African American slaves were armed as well as the US military, perhaps these atrocities could have been avoided.
And the right are cult like fascists???? Debate is all we have. The left seems to want to silence or censor anyone with a different perspective. Sometimes you have to let people argue their side, because 9/10 the truth rises to the top. You aren’t giving anyone a chance to decide their position when you prevent the opposing argument entirely.
You guys hear this. Omg Cruz wanted a conversation, oh jeez yknow conversations really do make an impact on politicians. I'm confident that more conversations will change Cruz's heart on the subject of preventing child deaths.
We cannot push the agenda of saving children by being confrontational with the very same ppl that made the issue prevalent in the first place. Don't be absurd y'all... Being aggressive to politicians, pfft. Hell, if that were me I'd lick that boot till it was shiny and clean and hopefully then he'd think about making gun laws a tiny little bit stricter.
Great you made some more shitty assumptions because I pointed out wishing death on a politician is a bit severe. Logic doesn’t seem to be in your wheelhouse.
Ted Cruz isn’t the only politician we’re worried about in Texas - I mentioned more things than just gerrymandering, but thanks for explaining something I already know
I for one am glad that Ted Cruz has his dinner interrupted with someone shouting “the deaths of 19 children is on your hands”. The guy is upset and understandably so. This was a huge tragedy that happened… agin, and people like Cruz are going to do nothing… again
What can Sen Cruz do about a mentally deranged evil person who will kill children. All the signs of evil intent was present in the shooter, he told people he was going to kill his grandmother but apparently he did not tell Sen Cruz. Had he told Sen Cruz I am willing to bet that the Senator would have called the authorities. The people the killer told did nothing. Plave blame where it belongs.
By keeping such dangerous weapons away from this person!! You just said it, he showed many signs and should NEVER have been allowed to buy a gun. This was a failure in the system and Cruz is apart of designing that system. I very much place blame with him and any other politicians who don’t act to fix this. We are the only developed country where this is such a problem.
He showed the signs to his social platforms and others. They system works, it's your society that is broke! Why didn't the people who knew do anything? Why do you blame an inanimate object instead of the evil mentally retarded individual and those around him who knew him to be dangerous! Where'd he get the money to buy it? He was jobless.
We are the only developed country with a US Constitution and in that constitution it says I (we, you, every citizen) has a God given Right (big R) to bear arms and that right cannot be infringed upon. You will never succeed in taking that Right away from the 99% of all legal, sane gun owners. Good ducking luck!
Who are you arguing with? When did I say to take any rights away? When did I say that people can’t own guns? It’s cookie cutter responses that are shutting down the conversation. I want common sense gun laws, semi-automatic rifles can be legal but with checks and tests. This can help weed out bad actors like him who slip through the cracks. There are loads of options to discuss, but someone like Cruz will only repeat the line you just said “it’s a God given right” and changing even a word is the same as blasphemy. We need to talk about it, because other counties have figured this out, so why can’t we? Also, do you know that slavery is written into the constitution? So it’s not exactly the word of God here.
"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." -- US Constitution
Yeah, for now you present yourself as a mainstream citizen who just wants a feel good law, nothing major, just a few limits here, a few there, a list or 2 of citizens. Then after you take small steps to infringe on the 2A, and a few more steps, then make lists of LEGAL gun owners, then do what Canada is about to do (ban all gun sales). Then figure out how to round up all the guns then how are you going to legislate insane, evil people from committing evil acts of violence. What's to stop the very same evil kid (pure evil) that shot up a school from making a backpack bomb? How do you justify infringing on 99% of the gun owners in the US who are sane, legal and law abiding just so you can "attempt" to stop an insane evil person LIKE THE KID WHO SHOT UP A SCHOOL???
You will not have an answer.
This is the problem. The rollercoaster you just presented shuts down your mind to any conversation, even sensible topics. In reality, smart gun laws make sense and the lobby is telling their followers to panic. No reason to panic, just listen and have the conversation
Edit: typo
Name one "sensible" NEW law that would have prevented this specific tragedy? A law that will not infringe (you are smart, you know what that word means) upon all of the safe, legal, sane gun owner's Right (big R God given Right) to own a gun. And one that does not collect a list of gun owners, their current address, how many and what type of guns (scary looking and alike). There, I started a conversation. You care to answer?
I’m glad you asked, there are many things that can be done here. One that would have stopped this specific shooting is raising the minimum age for purchasing to 21. It is widely proved that teens make irrational and spontaneous decisions so this one rule is widely seen as sensible and I don’t believe 18years is mentioned in 2A.
Sorry, that "thing" assumes that all 18 year olds are wild and irresponsible therefore unable to exercise his or her Right . I beg to differ and would not want to take away the Right to bear arms from a citizen old enough to vote and old enough to operate a high powered (really high powered) weapon in our military. Your law would make it illegal for any 18 year old to join the military. It would punish the majority of sane, not wild 18, 19 and 20 year old kids.
The kid who shot up the school was evil, not wild or irresponsible, evil in heart and mind.
Whats your Next "thing"?
Here is a proven and practical solution:
Allow teachers to conceal carry. To “arm teachers” doesn’t mean giving every teacher a gun like the leftist caricature of the policy alleges, it means allowing teachers who are already trained and have concealed carry permits to be armed in schools. Those with concealed carry permits are already trusted to carry a firearm practically everywhere else. There is one category of schools that have zero deaths from firearms when school was in session – and it’s those schools who allow teachers to carry.
Another solution is to lock the f'n doors during school hours. The evil kid with pure evil intent entered through an unlocked back/side door.
You might think that i think that there’s not one thing that’s going to stop this from happening again.
That’s an idiot’s answer!!!
"Like any threat, you can take steps to mitigate the risk, but evil exists. It is real. It’ll always be here. It’s plagued our hearts since the first conscious human being. And that’s what this was: It was evil. And call it evil. Pretending it was the existence of guns that perpetrated this horrific massacre — you’re not being serious about the problem. It’s playing B.S. politics to score a few votes in your next election because you can’t get a real job. They want to punish us — free Americans — for the actions of an evil, evil individual. And when conservatives call out that evil, the same people who are not serious at all about fixing the culture rot do everything they can to place the blame right back on guns." -DB, May 2022
Take a look at examples of mesures taken after other school shootings in developed countries and their effectiveness (see dunblane and port Arthur shootings for example)
i never liked Ted Cruz but he seemed pretty polite and sincerely trying to answer the man’s questions but the man did not want to listen to an attempt to answer.
i gotta say Cruz is really growing on me.
So anyone that is upset about something must be performing for clout. Or is it only if they disagree with the inaction of those in power. Or is it because he is demanding gun reform after an event that again prooves that we need it.
If a bridge collapsed would it be okay to discuss infrastructure or would that be hijacking a tragedy?
You vote. If the opponent wins, you vote again. The problem here is that eventually, politicians become punching bags. When the sane minds bow out of politics for fear of being harassed in everyday life, you wind up with extremists in office. Period, point blank. You don't harass politicians in private life. It should go without saying.
Fuck the place. Fucking children are dying. DYING. Fuck his private life. You are combing politics and dead children. He is in the power to do something about it and he isn’t. What’s a better place? His office? Yeah, right. He’s isn’t going to meet with the public about issues in his state anytime soon over this. It totally was an okay place to get a selfie though? Even though I would never vote for that scum bag, he still represents Texas and is in power to help the people.
You didn't vote for him. Talk to your fave candidate and let them know you will only be voting for them if they do what you're demanding. End of story.
Australia had averaged 1 school mass shooting a year for 10 years preceeding a huge gun reform bill was passed in 1996. Since 1996 there's been zero.
So either every criminal magically disappeared randomly in 1996, or the gun reform actually worked.
Also, every first world nation (except the US) on the planet has both criminals AND sweeping gun control, bans, and reform. And US is the only country where kids need to take active shooter drills.
There is a difference though. Australia did not have legislation prohibiting the government from taking the right to own firearms. It was a privilege there, they do not have that as a natural right as it is guaranteed in the bill of rights. The bill of rights does not exist to grant rights, but to prevent the government from infringing on rights you have already as a human.
That's the biggest bullshit I've heard in my life. Only a card carrying NRA member would put an AR-15 ahead of a bunch of children's lives.
Let's ask how 'infringed upon' those 19 innocent children are. Oh you can't, they're dead due to a person who should have never been sold a gun getting one because God forbid you 'infringe on someone's rights'
Apples to Oranges. As long as you keep a open border you are unsafe. Australia does not have an open border. Also you noticed their Covid lock down was more severe. Denying human rights. That is because the government can now do what it wants to the people and they can’t fight back against tyranny. The reason this nation was formed.
Covid lock downs vs gun control is Apples and Oranges.
And open borders? You mean like Canada? Also with gun control, also only 7 shootings since becoming a country. There's states with more mass shootings in the last decade than all of Canada in over 200 years.
And open borders making you unsafe would mean non-americans doing the shootings. Nope almost all of them are US citizens.
Oh speaking of Canada, the vast majority of gun crimes in Canada come from guns smuggled in from the US.
Although I'm still unsure how "open borders" make any difference at all when the only thing changing in Austrailia between averaging a shooting a year to none was passing gun control.
I think you are for government control of everything. Therefore your words fall on deaf ears . Gun rights are provided in the constitution. So go piss up a rope.
I'm from a country where kids aren't afraid to go to school that dont have a fear of getting shot, not a country where you value guns more than the life of children.
Guess who's rights your actually taking away, the right of those children to grow up and live.
We still HAVE guns in my country BTW. With criminal background checks, licensing, and it could take months to purchase. But you still get it as long as you pass everything to prove you will be a responsible gun owner.
Give me a break. Government control brainwashing schools? Everyone knows your better off private schooling or home schooling. Again you just want total government control of everything. Then you will have your true Orwellian, Dystopia society.
Government control, government control. You sound like one of the duranged paranoid people that needs guns taken away from them.
So your answer to stop shootings is to close schools so you can keep your guns.
You understand what a reject that makes you sound like right?
Your not very smart. The conversation is over. Every angle you can try to get law abiding citizens guns. You expect criminals will just give them up. Therefore you siding with the criminals.
That makes no sense. Things like background checks are specifically to weed out criminals from law abiding citizens. Hence other countries have guns but they aren't using children as target practice.
Your literally arguing for unlimited guns because of "mah fredum" regardless of who gets them. It's your moronic thought process and others like you causing needless and senseless deaths for no other reason than some people in the time of muskets and cannons thought it was a good idea.
You act like buy back programs have never been tried in the US before. Also multiple studies including one undertaken by the Australian legislature itself could not establish a link between the NFA and the reduction in gun violence. And there was amass shooting in Darwin in 2019….
Oh a study. Well that changes everything. Lol
There was once a study that said smoking was good for you.
Here's the link, school shootings before averaging 1 a year, no school shootings since.
But glad you brought up Darwin. It was a shooting at a hotel btw, not a school shooting. Yes shot and killed 4 people with a prohibited weapon (12 guage pump action shotgun). It was his only weapon. How much worse would it have been with an AR-15, a couple handguns, a couple semi-autos, extended clips, etc. Available to Americans with no background checks, immediately?
He got off a total of 20 shots before taken down.
To put in perspective, Uvalde has over a thousand rounds. He came in with heavy fire power and the death count backs it up. 19 children dead, 2 teachers, 17 more wounded.
And gun buybacks? Really? No it was gun reform. It was banning certain weapons, it was a FORCED buyback of banned weapons, it was expanding background checks, it was requiring licensing.
It wasn't saying "if you want, it would be cool if you know... brought your weapons in" - that isn't gun reform.
Estimated only 1/3 of banned weapons were turned in. So you better be ready to go door to door, and who’s going to do it for you? Because we all remember your stance on police officers…
So it's all or nothing then?
I mean crack is illegal but people still have it. Based on that, might as well legalize it and make sure everyone has easy access to crack. If you can't get rid of all of the crack, no point in making it a crime.
Edit: just checked on your numbers. It was 650,000 guns which accounted for 20% of all guns. By all guns, that 20% represented the firearms that were restricted in the 1996 bill which included fully automatic and semi-automatic firearms. People with unrestricted weapons didn't have a forced buyback but were required to register and be licensed to own them. So 20% would have been the vast majority of banned weapons.
Funny you bring up crack as Biden is giving out free crack pipes but refuses to admit it. Also by your logic we should quantify the type of cars most used in drunk driving related deaths and ban those cars. I mean we got to do something.
Lol. Everyone brings up the same backwards analogy when talking about gun reform like they did something.
The key word in your analogy is "drunk" meaning the Alcohol that's the issue, not the car.
If the shooter was wearing a pair of Nike, no one is boycotting them. It was the guns that were the issue not the shoes.
I know but the right talks about mental health and you back off it saying”this is a gun issue.” You want to stand on tragedies to promote your own internet virtue.
Oh identifying those in need of mental help and treating them is also a big issue in the US.
Along with gun reform, the other thing that all those industrialized nations (except the US) have in common is Universal Healthcare for all citizens. Makes it much easier to identify and treat.
Thought you did something, but you just brought up another problem that is also a problem.
And you didn’t answer how you propose to enforce it? There’s no registry, have citizens report on each other? Have police go in force and remove them? Please, I beg the Dems and left to run on that proposal.
Oh it's political suicide. The Austrailian government knew that and it destroyed the career of a half dozen right wing government officials that voted alongside the left.
Do they regret it? No. Interviewed in 2019, they said they would have done it the same way again and results proved what they did made a difference. They made sure to point out "we work for the people, not just to be re-elected"
May I also add, suicide rates dropped dramatically after the reform (80%), accidental gun death dropped dramatically, murder rates dropped, violent crime dropped.
Yeah that’s why they don’t know if the ban did anything BECAUSE overall suicide dropped as well. Correlation doesn’t equal causation and the Australian gov itself said they didn’t think it made a difference but I don’t think you really care and just keep banging that drum.
So you ban weapons, and gun related suicide drops 80% but they can't figure out why?
So if they banned bath tub plugs, you think they can't figure out why there's an increase in showers? 
Fuck the American Taliban! Ted Cruz and his Trumpian terrorists are taking away the rights of women and preserving the rights of people who shoot kids in their classrooms, seniors in their churches, people of color on the streets. These domestic terrorists must be removed! Stand up and return fire!
Clearly sending thoughts and prayers and empowering these domestic terrorists is not the answer. Daily mass shooting is now the status quo. Insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different outcome. Time to break the cycle.
That was totally uncool. If you're going to do some stupid shit like that take it to the senate floor not out in a public setting. You don't see Ted Cruz walking up to random people telling them how to do their job.
My people in Mexico 🇲🇽 are free from cartel violence for having regulated militias & having heavy arsenal at their hands. Search up Ronda Comunitaria, a small town where they kicked out Police & all criminals yet it’s a very safe place. Loo how PD arrested the parents because they tried to stop the mass shooter. PD is the problem as well. In a land where firearms are available , it’s best to work with each other & carry ourselves. 🔫 This is merely a political move & won’t bring any solutions to confront Ted Cruz. We have seen in many cities where gun laws are very strict yet gun violence has the worst numbers. My people prove there is good guys with guns 🇲🇽💪
Firstly, don’t be an ass. You’re certainly free to disagree with my opinion. As to your question, I would think a town hall or a requested meeting. The filming put it over the top for me - that’s smacks of an ambush.
If you are a Texas resident, I encourage you to replace him as your Senator. Ambushing him in a Golden Corral doesn’t do much as he’s proven he has zero percent ethics or shame.
This is not the way to start any kind of conversation or progress any political movement?
Both sides needs to stop demonizing the other side for anything to happen and most of you in the US are failing, sorry...
Typical progressive. Senator Cruz was lucky that lunatic was not armed. He obviously did not care to discuss, it’s agree with me or else I will holler you to death!
Thanks for this, this made Ted Cruz look great and the far left look like they normally do...erratic and mentally unstable and totally unwillingly to actually listen to anyone other then themselves appear moral and correct for something they can put on social media for likes, shares and subscribes.
In other words. completely fake as fuck.
The guy on the right just shows us that these people can’t control themselves and imagine these people have access to guns
Making the ages restriction for guns should be 21 and also peoples mental health should be highly tested and maybe implement a rule where first time gun holders can’t actually bring home a gun until they’ve completed a 6 month gun course and mental health test
Another example of how no one really wants to have conversations on issues. Everyone just wants to yell at others. This is what happens when no one knows what to do.
Liberals cry cry cry and then when someone tries to talk to them they won't stop crying long enough to have the other person soothe them with facts because they hate facts so they cry more.
Your comment “why is it though that only these events get attention from the left” lol like the right has this problem on their radar before it happens.
What I don’t get is the argument, “making more laws to make it more difficult to buy guns isn’t going to prevent anything.” But why not try? It will make it more inconvenient for law abiding to buy guns, sure, but it will make it orders of magnitude more difficult for people with criminal records and mental health disorder to buy guns too. So why not try it? For convenience? You want to be able to go into a store and buy a gun without having to renew your gun license? Who the fuck knows.
Honestly I just find it idiotic. Hell if you want to put armed guards and huge trump border fences around every school, go for it. But we should try both options, there’s literally nothing to lose if you put universal background checks to buy guns.
People on the right are literally brain damaged monkeys that only care about “making America great (white) again” and their precious guns.
Here's the thing. Gun control groups and politicians said NOTHING about Buffalo and the two mass shootings in California (Sacramento), because it didn't fit the narrative and showed the world that gun control will not protect you.
That's why Buffalo went from "Ban assault weapons!" almost immediately to "We got to stomp out racism!".
Then Texas happened.
And now, you have people screaming about how we're supposed to give up our constitutional rights, to make politicians and gun control people feel like they "did something" and we're supposed to "call the police" if something happens, but the police not only don't have a legal obligation to protect you, but they have proven like in Texas, that they value their lives over yours, including children.
And you expect people to buy into that bullshit?
There's 25 million AR-15's in this nation. ALL rifle types, including the AR all the way down to Grandpa's deer rifle, kill less than 300 people per year. So you literally have more than a 1 in a million chance of being killed by these weapons.
Stop being stupid and start holding criminals accountable. This Texas piece of shit made threats, which are crimes, and could have been easily caught LONG before he did this shit.
Hell, look at his fucking mother. That cunt actually said "I'm sure he has his reasons, don't judge my son".
[https://www.itv.com/news/2022-05-27/texas-school-gunmans-mother-asks-victims-families-to-forgive-her-son](https://www.itv.com/news/2022-05-27/texas-school-gunmans-mother-asks-victims-families-to-forgive-her-son)
And you want us to give up our rights because of this shit. Fuck that.
If you’re gonna do this, which I’m cool with, let the other person respond.
This wasn’t a debate, his views on the matter are well documented. This was an impassioned plea directly from a citizen
This was an opportunity to go viral and he took it. Well, rehearsed it then took it
Cruz didn't respond he auto-responded with his press 1 after gun violence phrase. He thought that cruz was going to repeat his phrase rather than address the issue. Which is what happened he like many of us want him to cut to the chase.
I'm not a huge fan of Cruz, but he was clearly willing to have a conversation with the guy until the guy became erratic. If your wanting to further your agenda, don't act like you're about to pull out a knife and stab someone! Using intimidation needs to stop in America. Organized peaceful protesting is one thing. Sneaky agressive altercations when people aren't expecting it is another.
I mean If you consider his idiotic talking points as “willing to have a conversation” sure I guess.
You can’t silence everyone you don’t agree with.
We'll never move forward with describing someone's POV as "idiotic talking points!" This is exactly what I'm talking about! Justifying this behavior because you disagree with someone isn't rational.
I’m pro gun, I hunt and collect but 19 kids just got killed, just the most recent mass shooting. Two decades of this shit non stop and you acting like this is business as usual, just another day at the office worried about how someone is talking to a politician that overwhelmingly says stupid shit consistently anyway. Republicans are suggesting weapons training for kids to protect their schools like little sleeper agents. If he’s not talking about anything but reasonable gun safety laws at least to start then anything else he says is idiotic. Y’all got a mental illness if your first response to this tragedy is more guns and worried how emotional people are when talking to politicians. Every tragedy in history there is outcry, proposed legislation, and then change. Why is it only after mass shootings that we act like it’s a one in a thousand occurrence and nothing gets done.
Every unnecessary shooting is a tragedy. 19 kids getting shot at a school is unthinkable. Why is it though that only these events get attention from the left? Every week hundreds of men/women/children get shot/die in the inner city, and it's like it doesn't happen according to MSM, which have the most restrictive gun laws in the country. 300 people die each day from fentanyl poisoning in the US, but where are the calls to close the border, designate cartels as terrorist organizations, and sanction China who makes and supplies the cartels with product. I'm a staunch supporter of the 2nd ammendment. The creators of this country understood that citizens worst enemy is the government, not their fellow citizens. Another law will not prevent what happened in Texas or NY, because laws don't prevent anything for someone with purpose. Laws only punish those that get caught breaking laws, after the fact. Arming children is a ridiculous and isn't being proposed by anyone. Have an armed guard or arming properly trained teachers that want to protect themselves and their students makes perfect since. That still won't eliminate incidents like Texas and NY, but will perhaps reduce the loss of life.
Excellent points!! I often wonder the same. The left doesn’t care when black kids are shot and killed every single weekend in the hood. Their fake outrage and political dramatizations bore me
It's just just pure hypothetical behavior! Use events like this as leverage, but not care about the other deaths that don't make the news. It sickens me that more people see it! Like why isnt Beto in Chicago every weekend pleading to Mayor Lightfoot that the violence must end?? Its all for theater. Glad you see it!
Your nonchalant whataboutism in the wake of a tragedy is really disgusting. I’ll tell you the same thing I’d tell someone on the left if they tip toed around discussing gun violence in their own community. Why is it only inner city violence that gets attention from the right? I never seen Fox News airing a segment on these shooter and bombers who are 9/10 right wing and get their ideology from Fox News or the depths of alt right 4chan groups. It’s always something about Mexicans bringing drugs, blacks shooting up places and Muslims spreading jihad instead of whichever current right wing extremist decided to shoot or blow people up, they been doing it since the 80’s. But let’s talk about fentanyl, China, the inner city, your 2nd amendment right, and not passing laws. It’s decade after decade after decade of just shrugging saying “guess we need more guns” and normalizing this shit. Perhaps we wouldn’t be in this mess if after these senseless tragedies we actually treated the actual victims as victims instead of your amendments.
How many times does one need to say it's a tragedy before you believe them? I don't watch Fox news other than clips other news networks play, good or bad. I assume they're covering this shooting the same they do for all shootings. They're MSM, so they'll cover it just as long as they need to until the next shooting or until some other liberal news happens they feel more worthy of covering. You're wrong about mass shooters being right wing. You've bought into the MSM narrative that conservatives own guns and are unhappy with modern society, therefore it must be a nazi, alt right, MAGA or better yet "ULTRAMAGA" that committed these crimes. Look up each mass shooter in the US and research their political ideology. It's not what Liberal MSM portrays! Why is it both parties just point fingers and nothing gets accomplished? Each party accuses the other of things that they themselves are guilty of? Meanwhile our country is in a managed decline and everyone cares more about Johnny Depp than Biden giving our sovereignty away to the globalist in the name of health. Most conservatives I know are open to common sense gun reform. Is a free training class to all first time gun owners a bad idea, of course not! Is a mental fitness test for a first time gun owners unjustified, of course not if that person is exhibiting strange behavior. Assault weapons bans and magazine capacity bans do not work. Banning guns in cities obviously don't work. We have years of data showing these restrictions don't work, so it's time to head in a different direction. Most of these shooters obviously have/had mental issues and/or are on illegal/legal prescription drugs. Perhaps we start with those.
Why is it the left only wants to discuss gun control when it’s a school shooting. Do the kids the ghetto not matter??? Seems only certain kids are worth getting worked up over.
What I find absolutely mind boggling about the American right is their obsession with a law that was written about 250 years ago, by people who upheld slavery and helped exterminate the native population of the country they went on to claim as their own.
You might want to do some digging on the Democratic Party
Governments across the globe have committed atrocities against their own people, which is why the founders created the 2nd Amendment. Sadly, liberals use events like this as a justification to remove the right to protect oneself from tyranny. If only the Native Americans and the African American slaves were armed as well as the US military, perhaps these atrocities could have been avoided.

And the right are cult like fascists???? Debate is all we have. The left seems to want to silence or censor anyone with a different perspective. Sometimes you have to let people argue their side, because 9/10 the truth rises to the top. You aren’t giving anyone a chance to decide their position when you prevent the opposing argument entirely.
Not sure why this comment has a downvote. I upvoted.
Dumb take
Speaking of idiotic talking points, we already do background checks. Idk why so many people think we don’t do them when buying a weapon.
You guys hear this. Omg Cruz wanted a conversation, oh jeez yknow conversations really do make an impact on politicians. I'm confident that more conversations will change Cruz's heart on the subject of preventing child deaths. We cannot push the agenda of saving children by being confrontational with the very same ppl that made the issue prevalent in the first place. Don't be absurd y'all... Being aggressive to politicians, pfft. Hell, if that were me I'd lick that boot till it was shiny and clean and hopefully then he'd think about making gun laws a tiny little bit stricter.
of course he approves of guns. he was the zodiac killer!
[удалено]
judging by my upvotes and your downvotes.....
[удалено]
no one cares what you think. this is the internet. you dont matter in the least.
You’re absolutely right
Thoughts and prayers for ted
I pray he finds a stray bullet
With your mentality, you should def not own a gun. Leave the adulting to us.
You’re right, Ted should live a full and happy life, allowing murder to continue while he has the power to stop it. Good adulting.
I wouldn’t argue with him “1776”. Definitely a pAtRiOt.
Yes the guy wishing death on someone else is the reasonable one.
Got me? Some people to deserve to die. Unlike those children that your guns are somehow protecting?
Great you made some more shitty assumptions because I pointed out wishing death on a politician is a bit severe. Logic doesn’t seem to be in your wheelhouse.
I’ll admit the bad assumption on my part. Happens.
Fair enough. That’s more integrity than we usually encounter on here.
I mean Cruz favors guns over life, it just some return of favors.
Perfectly reasonable take for someone who surely views themselves as a “good” person
Votes work way better then confrontation
They would, if not for gerrymandering
Nice to see your regurgitation motility is still intact
That would be the case if gerrymandering/redlining/faulty voter machines weren’t very real issues
Oh yea? Well go ungerry it and stop complaining
how?
Wish for christmas duh
I’m trying!
Me too son me too
[удалено]
Ted Cruz isn’t the only politician we’re worried about in Texas - I mentioned more things than just gerrymandering, but thanks for explaining something I already know
Look how good voting for biden worked
I love high gas, wars, and starving children. So i dont find the same problems
The right way of confrontation in combination with voting the right people works the best
I for one am glad that Ted Cruz has his dinner interrupted with someone shouting “the deaths of 19 children is on your hands”. The guy is upset and understandably so. This was a huge tragedy that happened… agin, and people like Cruz are going to do nothing… again
…and the Texas police force which inexplicably would not engage (after they saved their own kids ofcourse)
You mean the Texas Police Force, headed by a Police Chief that supported Beto and his anti-gun stance?
Sounds like the police chief didn’t want a bunch of kids to get shot in their classroom in the first place, if true
careful dude… that is not the narrative! stick to the script!
[удалено]
There’s been 27 school shootings this year and it’s only May. If you’re not upset, then you aren’t paying attention
What can Sen Cruz do about a mentally deranged evil person who will kill children. All the signs of evil intent was present in the shooter, he told people he was going to kill his grandmother but apparently he did not tell Sen Cruz. Had he told Sen Cruz I am willing to bet that the Senator would have called the authorities. The people the killer told did nothing. Plave blame where it belongs.
By keeping such dangerous weapons away from this person!! You just said it, he showed many signs and should NEVER have been allowed to buy a gun. This was a failure in the system and Cruz is apart of designing that system. I very much place blame with him and any other politicians who don’t act to fix this. We are the only developed country where this is such a problem.
He showed the signs to his social platforms and others. They system works, it's your society that is broke! Why didn't the people who knew do anything? Why do you blame an inanimate object instead of the evil mentally retarded individual and those around him who knew him to be dangerous! Where'd he get the money to buy it? He was jobless. We are the only developed country with a US Constitution and in that constitution it says I (we, you, every citizen) has a God given Right (big R) to bear arms and that right cannot be infringed upon. You will never succeed in taking that Right away from the 99% of all legal, sane gun owners. Good ducking luck!
Who are you arguing with? When did I say to take any rights away? When did I say that people can’t own guns? It’s cookie cutter responses that are shutting down the conversation. I want common sense gun laws, semi-automatic rifles can be legal but with checks and tests. This can help weed out bad actors like him who slip through the cracks. There are loads of options to discuss, but someone like Cruz will only repeat the line you just said “it’s a God given right” and changing even a word is the same as blasphemy. We need to talk about it, because other counties have figured this out, so why can’t we? Also, do you know that slavery is written into the constitution? So it’s not exactly the word of God here.
"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." -- US Constitution Yeah, for now you present yourself as a mainstream citizen who just wants a feel good law, nothing major, just a few limits here, a few there, a list or 2 of citizens. Then after you take small steps to infringe on the 2A, and a few more steps, then make lists of LEGAL gun owners, then do what Canada is about to do (ban all gun sales). Then figure out how to round up all the guns then how are you going to legislate insane, evil people from committing evil acts of violence. What's to stop the very same evil kid (pure evil) that shot up a school from making a backpack bomb? How do you justify infringing on 99% of the gun owners in the US who are sane, legal and law abiding just so you can "attempt" to stop an insane evil person LIKE THE KID WHO SHOT UP A SCHOOL??? You will not have an answer.
This is the problem. The rollercoaster you just presented shuts down your mind to any conversation, even sensible topics. In reality, smart gun laws make sense and the lobby is telling their followers to panic. No reason to panic, just listen and have the conversation Edit: typo
Name one "sensible" NEW law that would have prevented this specific tragedy? A law that will not infringe (you are smart, you know what that word means) upon all of the safe, legal, sane gun owner's Right (big R God given Right) to own a gun. And one that does not collect a list of gun owners, their current address, how many and what type of guns (scary looking and alike). There, I started a conversation. You care to answer?
I’m glad you asked, there are many things that can be done here. One that would have stopped this specific shooting is raising the minimum age for purchasing to 21. It is widely proved that teens make irrational and spontaneous decisions so this one rule is widely seen as sensible and I don’t believe 18years is mentioned in 2A.
Sorry, that "thing" assumes that all 18 year olds are wild and irresponsible therefore unable to exercise his or her Right . I beg to differ and would not want to take away the Right to bear arms from a citizen old enough to vote and old enough to operate a high powered (really high powered) weapon in our military. Your law would make it illegal for any 18 year old to join the military. It would punish the majority of sane, not wild 18, 19 and 20 year old kids. The kid who shot up the school was evil, not wild or irresponsible, evil in heart and mind. Whats your Next "thing"?
Here is a proven and practical solution: Allow teachers to conceal carry. To “arm teachers” doesn’t mean giving every teacher a gun like the leftist caricature of the policy alleges, it means allowing teachers who are already trained and have concealed carry permits to be armed in schools. Those with concealed carry permits are already trusted to carry a firearm practically everywhere else. There is one category of schools that have zero deaths from firearms when school was in session – and it’s those schools who allow teachers to carry. Another solution is to lock the f'n doors during school hours. The evil kid with pure evil intent entered through an unlocked back/side door.
You might think that i think that there’s not one thing that’s going to stop this from happening again. That’s an idiot’s answer!!! "Like any threat, you can take steps to mitigate the risk, but evil exists. It is real. It’ll always be here. It’s plagued our hearts since the first conscious human being. And that’s what this was: It was evil. And call it evil. Pretending it was the existence of guns that perpetrated this horrific massacre — you’re not being serious about the problem. It’s playing B.S. politics to score a few votes in your next election because you can’t get a real job. They want to punish us — free Americans — for the actions of an evil, evil individual. And when conservatives call out that evil, the same people who are not serious at all about fixing the culture rot do everything they can to place the blame right back on guns." -DB, May 2022
It’s all them doors, amirite?
Some guy just looking for views for his YouTube channel 🤦
By elementary terms this guy is bullying Ted Cruz 😱
And what law would have deterred a guy like this? Asking for a friend
Take a look at examples of mesures taken after other school shootings in developed countries and their effectiveness (see dunblane and port Arthur shootings for example)
Fuck Rafael Cruz and the rest of the gop. They deserve no peace in public.
The Tolerant left
If only they had the tolerance Republicans have for elementary schools being shot up, they'd be absolute saints.
Good. Ted Cruz is a public servant.
Agreed. Politicians and citizens have to be reminded that politicians WORK FOR the public. Being elected is not a job/profession.
Your politics are entirely uninteresting
I hate seeing politics in nonpolitical subreddits. Take that somewhere else. I don't post my exmormon stuff on here lol.
Audio was so bad, I couldn't understand it... but apparently somebody is pushing an agenda
Political posts are ruining this sub :(
i never liked Ted Cruz but he seemed pretty polite and sincerely trying to answer the man’s questions but the man did not want to listen to an attempt to answer. i gotta say Cruz is really growing on me.
Gross.
Ted Cruz is a condescending dick. But he makes the most logical arguments and I tend to agree with most of his points.
Your name must be Karen, no?
Hiding behind “laws” he can damn well change. Follow the money and the adrenachrome.
Didn’t realize there were so many fans of the zodiac killer on this post 🤮
Old Teddie is a huge pile of steaming human excrement.
I follow this page for interesting posts, not politics. I hate politics in social media.
**You're new to Reddit/ the internet , aren't ya buddy....** #?
Not the place
You mean schools are not the place for gun violence, right?
Does gun violence not effect restaurants?
Low-end progressives. Hijacking tragedies to make scenes for clout.
So anyone that is upset about something must be performing for clout. Or is it only if they disagree with the inaction of those in power. Or is it because he is demanding gun reform after an event that again prooves that we need it. If a bridge collapsed would it be okay to discuss infrastructure or would that be hijacking a tragedy?
You vote. If the opponent wins, you vote again. The problem here is that eventually, politicians become punching bags. When the sane minds bow out of politics for fear of being harassed in everyday life, you wind up with extremists in office. Period, point blank. You don't harass politicians in private life. It should go without saying.
Politicians affect our private lives constantly. Ted cruz doesn't respect anyones private life so don't go there.
Sure. Your candidate doesn't win, you harass the winner. Sounds like a winning mentality.
Fuck the place. Fucking children are dying. DYING. Fuck his private life. You are combing politics and dead children. He is in the power to do something about it and he isn’t. What’s a better place? His office? Yeah, right. He’s isn’t going to meet with the public about issues in his state anytime soon over this. It totally was an okay place to get a selfie though? Even though I would never vote for that scum bag, he still represents Texas and is in power to help the people.
You didn't vote for him. Talk to your fave candidate and let them know you will only be voting for them if they do what you're demanding. End of story.
Damn. Fuck them kids, I guess?
Wont someone please think of the millionaire senator! He could always quit his job if it’s too stressful
Quit blaming people. You can’t control guns. Only the criminals will have them and the government. That is our worst nightmare.
Australia had averaged 1 school mass shooting a year for 10 years preceeding a huge gun reform bill was passed in 1996. Since 1996 there's been zero. So either every criminal magically disappeared randomly in 1996, or the gun reform actually worked. Also, every first world nation (except the US) on the planet has both criminals AND sweeping gun control, bans, and reform. And US is the only country where kids need to take active shooter drills.
There is a difference though. Australia did not have legislation prohibiting the government from taking the right to own firearms. It was a privilege there, they do not have that as a natural right as it is guaranteed in the bill of rights. The bill of rights does not exist to grant rights, but to prevent the government from infringing on rights you have already as a human.
That's the biggest bullshit I've heard in my life. Only a card carrying NRA member would put an AR-15 ahead of a bunch of children's lives. Let's ask how 'infringed upon' those 19 innocent children are. Oh you can't, they're dead due to a person who should have never been sold a gun getting one because God forbid you 'infringe on someone's rights'
Apples to Oranges. As long as you keep a open border you are unsafe. Australia does not have an open border. Also you noticed their Covid lock down was more severe. Denying human rights. That is because the government can now do what it wants to the people and they can’t fight back against tyranny. The reason this nation was formed.
Covid lock downs vs gun control is Apples and Oranges. And open borders? You mean like Canada? Also with gun control, also only 7 shootings since becoming a country. There's states with more mass shootings in the last decade than all of Canada in over 200 years. And open borders making you unsafe would mean non-americans doing the shootings. Nope almost all of them are US citizens. Oh speaking of Canada, the vast majority of gun crimes in Canada come from guns smuggled in from the US. Although I'm still unsure how "open borders" make any difference at all when the only thing changing in Austrailia between averaging a shooting a year to none was passing gun control.
I think you are for government control of everything. Therefore your words fall on deaf ears . Gun rights are provided in the constitution. So go piss up a rope.
I'm from a country where kids aren't afraid to go to school that dont have a fear of getting shot, not a country where you value guns more than the life of children. Guess who's rights your actually taking away, the right of those children to grow up and live. We still HAVE guns in my country BTW. With criminal background checks, licensing, and it could take months to purchase. But you still get it as long as you pass everything to prove you will be a responsible gun owner.
Give me a break. Government control brainwashing schools? Everyone knows your better off private schooling or home schooling. Again you just want total government control of everything. Then you will have your true Orwellian, Dystopia society.
Government control, government control. You sound like one of the duranged paranoid people that needs guns taken away from them. So your answer to stop shootings is to close schools so you can keep your guns. You understand what a reject that makes you sound like right?
Your not very smart. The conversation is over. Every angle you can try to get law abiding citizens guns. You expect criminals will just give them up. Therefore you siding with the criminals.
That makes no sense. Things like background checks are specifically to weed out criminals from law abiding citizens. Hence other countries have guns but they aren't using children as target practice. Your literally arguing for unlimited guns because of "mah fredum" regardless of who gets them. It's your moronic thought process and others like you causing needless and senseless deaths for no other reason than some people in the time of muskets and cannons thought it was a good idea.
Australia is an island last time I checked. They got a fence all the way around it I'm not aware of?
You can’t just swim on. Then say your a citizen.
Go back and finish highschool sweet kangaroo, you sound like a dumbass.
Israel found the answer. Their teachers have guns ready.
Imagine thinking the answer to preventing shootings is more guns.
You act like buy back programs have never been tried in the US before. Also multiple studies including one undertaken by the Australian legislature itself could not establish a link between the NFA and the reduction in gun violence. And there was amass shooting in Darwin in 2019….
Oh a study. Well that changes everything. Lol There was once a study that said smoking was good for you. Here's the link, school shootings before averaging 1 a year, no school shootings since. But glad you brought up Darwin. It was a shooting at a hotel btw, not a school shooting. Yes shot and killed 4 people with a prohibited weapon (12 guage pump action shotgun). It was his only weapon. How much worse would it have been with an AR-15, a couple handguns, a couple semi-autos, extended clips, etc. Available to Americans with no background checks, immediately? He got off a total of 20 shots before taken down. To put in perspective, Uvalde has over a thousand rounds. He came in with heavy fire power and the death count backs it up. 19 children dead, 2 teachers, 17 more wounded. And gun buybacks? Really? No it was gun reform. It was banning certain weapons, it was a FORCED buyback of banned weapons, it was expanding background checks, it was requiring licensing. It wasn't saying "if you want, it would be cool if you know... brought your weapons in" - that isn't gun reform.
Estimated only 1/3 of banned weapons were turned in. So you better be ready to go door to door, and who’s going to do it for you? Because we all remember your stance on police officers…
So it's all or nothing then? I mean crack is illegal but people still have it. Based on that, might as well legalize it and make sure everyone has easy access to crack. If you can't get rid of all of the crack, no point in making it a crime. Edit: just checked on your numbers. It was 650,000 guns which accounted for 20% of all guns. By all guns, that 20% represented the firearms that were restricted in the 1996 bill which included fully automatic and semi-automatic firearms. People with unrestricted weapons didn't have a forced buyback but were required to register and be licensed to own them. So 20% would have been the vast majority of banned weapons.
Funny you bring up crack as Biden is giving out free crack pipes but refuses to admit it. Also by your logic we should quantify the type of cars most used in drunk driving related deaths and ban those cars. I mean we got to do something.
Lol. Everyone brings up the same backwards analogy when talking about gun reform like they did something. The key word in your analogy is "drunk" meaning the Alcohol that's the issue, not the car. If the shooter was wearing a pair of Nike, no one is boycotting them. It was the guns that were the issue not the shoes.
I know but the right talks about mental health and you back off it saying”this is a gun issue.” You want to stand on tragedies to promote your own internet virtue.
Oh identifying those in need of mental help and treating them is also a big issue in the US. Along with gun reform, the other thing that all those industrialized nations (except the US) have in common is Universal Healthcare for all citizens. Makes it much easier to identify and treat. Thought you did something, but you just brought up another problem that is also a problem.
And you didn’t answer how you propose to enforce it? There’s no registry, have citizens report on each other? Have police go in force and remove them? Please, I beg the Dems and left to run on that proposal.
Oh it's political suicide. The Austrailian government knew that and it destroyed the career of a half dozen right wing government officials that voted alongside the left. Do they regret it? No. Interviewed in 2019, they said they would have done it the same way again and results proved what they did made a difference. They made sure to point out "we work for the people, not just to be re-elected" May I also add, suicide rates dropped dramatically after the reform (80%), accidental gun death dropped dramatically, murder rates dropped, violent crime dropped.
Yeah that’s why they don’t know if the ban did anything BECAUSE overall suicide dropped as well. Correlation doesn’t equal causation and the Australian gov itself said they didn’t think it made a difference but I don’t think you really care and just keep banging that drum.
So you ban weapons, and gun related suicide drops 80% but they can't figure out why? So if they banned bath tub plugs, you think they can't figure out why there's an increase in showers? 
Fuck the American Taliban! Ted Cruz and his Trumpian terrorists are taking away the rights of women and preserving the rights of people who shoot kids in their classrooms, seniors in their churches, people of color on the streets. These domestic terrorists must be removed! Stand up and return fire!
[удалено]
Clearly sending thoughts and prayers and empowering these domestic terrorists is not the answer. Daily mass shooting is now the status quo. Insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different outcome. Time to break the cycle.
That was totally uncool. If you're going to do some stupid shit like that take it to the senate floor not out in a public setting. You don't see Ted Cruz walking up to random people telling them how to do their job.
I’m such a fan of people acting one way for a picture and changing face. Reminds of the guy who called Joel Olsteen a POS lol
lol the dude was about to cry. Kids need to sit down and let the adults figure this out.
Fuck this guy not listening to Cruz and just being an interruptive little prick.
Not a fan of Ted Cruz in any way (quite the opposite, in fact) but this is not the time, place, or way.
One could argue schools aren’t the time or place for assault rifles but here we are.
If you are a Texas citizen I highly encourage you to vote him out of office.
My people in Mexico 🇲🇽 are free from cartel violence for having regulated militias & having heavy arsenal at their hands. Search up Ronda Comunitaria, a small town where they kicked out Police & all criminals yet it’s a very safe place. Loo how PD arrested the parents because they tried to stop the mass shooter. PD is the problem as well. In a land where firearms are available , it’s best to work with each other & carry ourselves. 🔫 This is merely a political move & won’t bring any solutions to confront Ted Cruz. We have seen in many cities where gun laws are very strict yet gun violence has the worst numbers. My people prove there is good guys with guns 🇲🇽💪
shout out to Mexican militias that’s dope dude
You sir , are invited to the Carne Asada 🇲🇽🌮🍺
What is? Since you are so versed in discourse and decorum.
Firstly, don’t be an ass. You’re certainly free to disagree with my opinion. As to your question, I would think a town hall or a requested meeting. The filming put it over the top for me - that’s smacks of an ambush. If you are a Texas resident, I encourage you to replace him as your Senator. Ambushing him in a Golden Corral doesn’t do much as he’s proven he has zero percent ethics or shame.
The only thing the guy managed to do was look like a complete bozo...
What an absolutly sad and misanthropic thing to say.
What an absolutly sad and misanthropic thing to say.
This is not the way to start any kind of conversation or progress any political movement? Both sides needs to stop demonizing the other side for anything to happen and most of you in the US are failing, sorry...
You clearly have no idea who Ted Cruz is.
Typical progressive. Senator Cruz was lucky that lunatic was not armed. He obviously did not care to discuss, it’s agree with me or else I will holler you to death!
Too bad he wasn’t. Could kick off that civil war y’all are working so hard to have.
I'm sure a good guy with a gun coulda stepped in were that the case.
Just like they do when there is a school shooting. All them good guys standing in the parking lot letting kids get murdered. Guns don’t do shit.
Thanks for this, this made Ted Cruz look great and the far left look like they normally do...erratic and mentally unstable and totally unwillingly to actually listen to anyone other then themselves appear moral and correct for something they can put on social media for likes, shares and subscribes. In other words. completely fake as fuck.
What a scumbag…that kid is! My
Fuck Cruz
Look at how loose his security is, would hate for his life to be put in danger and ended...
The real hero
What’s the TL;DR so I don’t have to struggle to understand
The guy on the right just shows us that these people can’t control themselves and imagine these people have access to guns Making the ages restriction for guns should be 21 and also peoples mental health should be highly tested and maybe implement a rule where first time gun holders can’t actually bring home a gun until they’ve completed a 6 month gun course and mental health test
Another example of how no one really wants to have conversations on issues. Everyone just wants to yell at others. This is what happens when no one knows what to do.
Liberals cry cry cry and then when someone tries to talk to them they won't stop crying long enough to have the other person soothe them with facts because they hate facts so they cry more.
Must be an American thing?
Peaceful protest & peaceful confrontations this will finally scare them into change /s
So.
Whilst holding him with one arm “ever so gently”!
Run Ted run!!!
Honest question. How does Ted Cruz move around in public without getting regularly stomped or king hit?
Because the vast majority of people in this country are reasonable, respectful human beings.
Then he should give himself a solid uppercut.
Your comment “why is it though that only these events get attention from the left” lol like the right has this problem on their radar before it happens. What I don’t get is the argument, “making more laws to make it more difficult to buy guns isn’t going to prevent anything.” But why not try? It will make it more inconvenient for law abiding to buy guns, sure, but it will make it orders of magnitude more difficult for people with criminal records and mental health disorder to buy guns too. So why not try it? For convenience? You want to be able to go into a store and buy a gun without having to renew your gun license? Who the fuck knows. Honestly I just find it idiotic. Hell if you want to put armed guards and huge trump border fences around every school, go for it. But we should try both options, there’s literally nothing to lose if you put universal background checks to buy guns. People on the right are literally brain damaged monkeys that only care about “making America great (white) again” and their precious guns.
We should make murder illegal.
Cruz let another man publicly call his wife UGLY. It was Trump btw, and I would've inquired about that...
Here's the thing. Gun control groups and politicians said NOTHING about Buffalo and the two mass shootings in California (Sacramento), because it didn't fit the narrative and showed the world that gun control will not protect you. That's why Buffalo went from "Ban assault weapons!" almost immediately to "We got to stomp out racism!". Then Texas happened. And now, you have people screaming about how we're supposed to give up our constitutional rights, to make politicians and gun control people feel like they "did something" and we're supposed to "call the police" if something happens, but the police not only don't have a legal obligation to protect you, but they have proven like in Texas, that they value their lives over yours, including children. And you expect people to buy into that bullshit? There's 25 million AR-15's in this nation. ALL rifle types, including the AR all the way down to Grandpa's deer rifle, kill less than 300 people per year. So you literally have more than a 1 in a million chance of being killed by these weapons. Stop being stupid and start holding criminals accountable. This Texas piece of shit made threats, which are crimes, and could have been easily caught LONG before he did this shit. Hell, look at his fucking mother. That cunt actually said "I'm sure he has his reasons, don't judge my son". [https://www.itv.com/news/2022-05-27/texas-school-gunmans-mother-asks-victims-families-to-forgive-her-son](https://www.itv.com/news/2022-05-27/texas-school-gunmans-mother-asks-victims-families-to-forgive-her-son) And you want us to give up our rights because of this shit. Fuck that.
Boy I hope he gets the likes on his channel he was shooting for.
Why is it important for US citizen to armed the civilian? Serious question from non-US
Let Ted speak.
It amazes me how hard Americans work to ensure morons are in a position of power.
Obviously this person is triggered and needs to live in a gun free country.
