Today I want to tell you about United States Senator, Ted Cruz, (R-Texas)
Ted Cruz has promised, in writing, to our partners at Gun Owners of America (GOA) that if elected President of the United States, that he will remove the United States as a signatory nation to the anti-gun United Nations Arms Trade Treaty — a U.N. treaty that would fully implement a system of gun owner registration if ratified by the U.S. Senate.
Sen. Cruz has also promised gun owners that he will repeal President Obama’s anti-gun Executive Orders which circumvent Congress. Sen. Cruz also promised to veto anti-gun legislation if it reaches his desk.
As a U.S. Senator, Ted Cruz has demonstrated a willingness to fight for our Second Amendment rights. He is working with GOA on legislation to repeal the Obama Administration’s gun ban that is (and will) affect millions of military veterans and senior citizens.
He has cosponsored legislation to allow concealed carry reciprocity for law-abiding gun owners. This legislation, (S. 498) is of special importance to NHFC members and activists. It is one of our chief priorities in Congress because it will prevent law abiding New Hampshire residents from being arrested and jailed in places like New York or anti-gun Chris Christie’s New Jersey. (Last week Scott told you how anti-gun Gov. Christie is fighting S. 498.)
It was Senator Cruz who led the filibuster fight in 2013 against funding the anti-gun ObamaCare law, which will facilitate the disarmament of millions of gun owners once the law is fully implemented.
While there are many problems with ObamaCare, Senator Cruz recognizes how computerizing the medical records of millions of gun owners will allow the federal government to troll those names and add millions of honest gun owners to the NICS system — in the same way that the Obama Administration is currently using medical information to disarm military veterans, and proposing to do the same with senior citizens.
Ted Cruz has promised to sign a bill to completely repeal ObamaCare as President. To that end, he has already introduced S. 339, which would repeal the health care law “as if such Act had not been enacted.”
It was Senator Cruz who in July of 2015, blasted the Senate leadership for lying to fellow Republicans and the American people. Not only that, just a couple of months prior, he stood on the Senate floor and asked “what exactly is the difference between a Democratic and Republican majority?” This man knows what it means to be pro-gun and how to assert himself.
Wow! What a contrast between Senator Cruz and the two anti-gun Governors: Christie and Kasich. It is clear to me that Senator Cruz stands in sharp contrast to the anti-gun activists that Scott told you about last week. Gun owners will have at least one good choice when they vote in our states’ “First in the Nation” Presidential Primary.
In liberty,
Training Director – NHFC
