Oh FFS..........Gun rights? Try gun pride: GOP candidates display firearms machismo
It is scary this shit works on GOP voters. Are they that paranoid?
JOHNSTON, Iowa — Ted Cruz strode Friday into a shooting range here, where assault rifles and handguns were displayed on the walls and boxes of ammunition were stacked up for sale, to deliver some tough talk following this week’s massacre in California.
“You don’t stop bad guys by taking away our guns. You stop bad guys by using our guns,” Cruz thundered to a roomful of Second Amendment activists. The Republican senator from Texas vowed that after he is elected president, any “lunatic” or “jihadist” who attempts to harm innocent Americans will “encounter the business end of firearms.”
There was a time when politicians professed their enthusiasm for gun rights by donning camouflage and hunting pheasants. Now, Republican presidential hopefuls campaign in active shooting ranges. They invite the media to watch them fire assault rifles or demolish the tax code with an AR-15. Or, as Cruz did in August, they wrap strips of raw bacon around the barrel of a machine gun to cook them with the heat of gunfire.
“Machine-gun bacon,” Cruz said in a video, taking a piece of meat off the gun to taste it. “Ha, ha, ha, ha.”
