Sen. Cruz Warns Trump Against Gun Bill or Expect a President Warren in 2020

1991

Senator Ted Cruz gave fair warning to President Trump and the GOP Thursday to not okay the Toomey-Manchin bill, which is largely considered a Trojan Horse. He believes we will end up with a President Warren.

“If Republicans abandon the Second Amendment and demoralize millions of Americans who care deeply about Second Amendment rights, that could go a long way to electing a President Elizabeth Warren,” Cruz said at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor when asked about the prospect of Trump endorsing a modified version of Manchin-Toomey.

RECORD-BREAKING DEMOCRAT TURNOUT

Cruz warned that Democrats are highly motivated and there will be record-breaking turnout in 2020. He asserted that we need the same enthusiasm among Republicans.

“We’re going to see record-shattering Democratic turnout. The only element missing to ensure Democratic victory is demoralizing conservatives so they stay home. I hope we don’t do that. I think that would be a serious mistake,” Cruz said in response to speculation that Trump may strike a deal with Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Manchin and Toomey to significantly expand background check requirements.

“It would also be a serious mistake as a policy matter. The Democrats’ proposal would not have prevented any of these mass murders. We ought to be focusing seriously, substantively on how you stop these horrific crimes and what they’re proposing wouldn’t do it,” he added.

Cruz said he’s not opposed to strengthening the National Instant Criminal Background Check System and is pushing a bill co-sponsored with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), that would improve and reauthorize grants for the database, increase federal prosecution of gun violence, and criminalize the straw purchasing of firearms and gun trafficking.

“What I’m proposing has a far greater likelihood of preventing these kinds of crimes,” he said.

Cruz believes a national firearms registry is likely “the objective of many of the congressional Democrats” pushing universal background checks.

Cruz said, “the approach that I’m pushing, focus on the felons, the fugitives, those with dangerous mental illnesses, that would prevent far more of these mass murders while at the same time protecting the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens.”

DEMOCRATS DEMAND H8 OR SOME SIMILAR BILL

Speaker Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Schumer want a version of HR 8. They passed it earlier this year. They incorporated stringent gun control in a bill to protect women from abusers. The bill goes beyond Federal law which bars convicted abusive spouses from purchasing guns. The language is too broad.

The data mining from this bill will set up the framework for a potential national registry. While it does not establish a national registry, there is a dangerous exception which allows the DOJ to pass any regulations he wants.

The bill also proposes a study to determine whether medical doctors and other mental health professionals have the ability, without negative legal or professional consequences, to notify law enforcement officials when a patient is a danger to himself or others. This would be done without due process and would require the patient to go through difficult bureaucratic procedures to get his/her gun rights back. Due process is ignored under this clause.

Additionally, under the bill, actions which qualify as stalking don’t have to be threatening or even involve any physical touching.

“How it’s written right now, you could be convicted for a misdemeanor stalking offense for a tweet that causes someone emotional distress and then you would be prohibited from owning a firearm,” Jennifer Baker, a spokesperson for the NRA, further explained to the New York Times.

The media and the Democrats are lying about the bill, claiming it will close dangerous loopholes and will simply expand background checks to all gun show and internet sales but exempt sales between family members and friends.

It’s so much more than that.

“…will simply expand background checks to all gun show and internet sales.”

Can’t buy a gun in either case without a back ground check. Buy one off the internet, it only goes to the buyer through an FFL gun dealer.

If ONE MORE IOTA of INFRINGEMENT takes place against the 2nd Amendment, it will be better for the People to NOT VOTE for Trump, and allow a Democrat to be elected. When the Democrat is elected, CIVIL WAR will begin, which will then lead to the RESTORATION of the Constitution and the EXECUTION of the TRAITORS against it, at a much faster and needed rate than otherwise. The removal of the ENEMIES of America will ensue, rather than the gradual weakening and disarmament of the People, which will lead top their Deaths by Dictatorial Fascist Communist Nazi Globalist Govt.
Capiche?

This is the History we must NEVER FORGET. Please help to make that so.
A minimum of 250 MILLION Innocents and Powerless were NOT MURDERED by the man with a gun, in the last century. They were SYSTEMATICALLY MURDERED by so-called Elected “LEADERS”, saying they had “Noble Intent” and “Good Will”, who began to see themselves as gods after they CONFISCATED the “Arms” of the People, then having TOTAL POWER to do as they willed, choosing who would live and who would die.
They began with CENSORSHIP and SURVEILLANCE of the People, INVADING their PRIVACY, then progressing to the Denigration and Weaponization of WORDS, SPEECH and RELIGIOUS BELIEFS. They used POLITICAL CORRECTNESS and PROPAGANDA to destroy TRUTH and JUSTICE, Infiltrating into the Education Systems to INDOCTRINATE the children.
They then created FALSE ATTACKS to institute the removal of the basic RIGHTS of the People. They Demonized certain groups of People, and pitted “Differences” against each other – DIVIDING THE PEOPLE. These “LEADERS” did exactly what the DEMOCRAT PARTY, RINO’s, Mainstream Banker Media, FBI, CIA, NSA, FIVE EYES, etc. are doing today, and have done in the past 30-50 years within our Govt., and other Govts. around the world, to destroy them and mold them into their own scheme. SAME Program – SAME Results. SAME EVIL SATANIC ORIGIN.
They now have a NEW TACTIC whereby they create MYRIAD LAWS to make everyone a Criminal, to remove their Rights of Self Defense. Then they change Laws that make it all right for them to LIE to the American People, as if this is some “Noble” act. ALL Liars are CRIMINALS and ENEMIES of the People that they SERVE. The People are not their SUBJECTS who serve them, which is what they now think and try to make the People believe.
People are defeated when they turn from the Law of their God, or are manipulated to do so, as Baalim taught the kings of old, to defeat God’s People. Then Evil can take hold, Destroying and Corrupting the entire Society. It is called the “Demoralization of Mankind”. It is exactly what is being orchestrated in America today.
Same as it ever was. Yet, as Generations come and go, the new are unaware of what has been, unto their demise. But even then, the powerful machine created by evil, somehow convinces People that up is down, and left is right. All having to do with turning their back on God, who would otherwise protect them and lead them to truth and discernment, for which they would not eventually be MURDERED en masse by so-called Good Willed “Common Sense””LEADERS”.
By the Constitution and 2nd Amendment, which GOVERNS Congress and the President, NO Authority LAWFULLY exists to create ANY CODE or LAW against such. BY the PEOPLE, FOR the PEOPLE, is the LAW. BLOOD BOUGHT LAW. – Not “BY” Banker bought BS Politicians/TRAITORS.

No one, including President Trump, can eliminate a Constitutional Amendment by Executive Order. Trump even considering any such move tells me he’s either ignorant of our Constitution, or he’s a liar.

None of the proposed “solutions” will do anything but throw more ropes around innocent people. The current system is overly restrictive as it is.
Murder is already illegal, and that isn’t stopping criminals from doing it, and neither will any of the ridiculous new proposals either.

An attack on the 2A would indeed change my views on Trump…
