I would have liked them to challenge each other to a dual.

Cruz is a waste of time. Why do these shows continue to guest these radical nutcases from the right?
For that matter, why do they not guest radical nutcases from the left?

Ted Cruz is the poster-child of man-splaining.

Scarborough should have challenged him to a duel, ā€œYou get a deer rifle, and I get an AR-15 with a high capacity magazine.ā€

Cruz is a detestable, lying piece of crap. I am really pulling for Beto to whip him next November.

As much as I loathe Scarborough, I have to hope he’s representative of a large swath of the moderate-to-conservative crowd. Sigh…

No one is even discussing the elephant in the room, and that is high capacity magazines. Gabby Giffords shooter was stopped when changing magazines.

Cruz does lecturing good. March 2013 just elected to the Senate he lectured Dianne Feinstein about assault weapons. He got into some word salad about constitutionality and she said this.

ā€œI’m not a sixth grader,ā€ said Feinstein. ā€œSenator, I’ve been on this committee for 20 years. I was a mayor for nine years. I walked in, I saw people shot. I’ve looked at bodies that have been shot with these weapons. I’ve seen the bullets that implode. In Sandy Hook, youngsters were dismembered. Look, there are other weapons. I’ve been up – I’m not a lawyer, but after 20 years I’ve been up close and personal to the Constitution. I have great respect for it. This doesn’t mean that weapons of war and the Heller decision clearly points out three exceptions, two of which are pertinent here. And so I – you know, it’s fine you want to lecture me on the Constitution. I appreciate it. Just know I’ve been here for a long time. I’ve passed on a number of bills. I’ve studied the Constitution myself. I am reasonably well educated, and I thank you for the lecture.ā€

Cruz is so used to the Deplorables buying his bullshit that when someone actually listens and challenges him, he looks like a deer in headlights. (Or maybe I should say a deer in a scope.)

Dear God, please make him history as a senator, very soon. That would be sweet.

Also this explanation

@clare Cruz won with only 600,000 votes in a state with tens of millions of people. The election was held in July if I’m not mistaken which would account for the turnout, but I don’t think he’s going to walk away with this one against O’Rourke.

ā€œHeller was about a semi-automatic handgun which the Supreme Court said the Second Amendment protected and the District of Columbia couldn’t ban,ā€ Cruz said.

No, the Court said nothing about the right to own a semi-automatic handgun. The majority opinion said ā€œthe [DC] law totally bans handgun possession in the homeā€ and in view of its scope and breadth ā€œwe hold that the District’s ban on handgun possession in the home violates the Second Amendment.ā€

After firing 31 rounds, killing 6 people and wounding 13. A 10-round magazine would probably have reduced the casualty toll by two-thirds. Just something to think about.

One man clobbered alleged gunman Jared Loughner on the back of the head with a folding chair. A 61-year-old woman wrestled a fresh magazine away from Loughner as he tried to reload.

Better still - suggest that the Marines & Army dump their ARs for deer rifles?

Poooooooorrrrr Teddy and Joey, they used to be thought of as such virulent trolls, now they just look like the amateurish school dickheads compared to our Humiliation in Chief. Hell, even Trump’s staff make these fools look like amateurs.

Ted,

You wouldn’t know this since you’ve never served your country in uniform, but the AR-15 family of Stoner rifles is designed to put a high volume of steel down range in a short amount of time. Comparing it to a fixed magazine bolt-action hunting rifle is deliberately disingenuous.

Or to put it into our shared Southern parlance: ā€˜You’re an ignorant, lying sack of s***, Ted.’

It’s too early in the morning for this, but is the meat from a deer that’s been shot with an AR-15 even edible?
