Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) tore into Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Tuesday night after the GOP senator groaned about renewed pushes for gun control in the wake of a deadly shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
Pro gun
“Inevitably when there’s a murder of this kind, you see politicians try to politicize it, you see Democrats and a lot of folks in the media whose immediate solution is to try to restrict the constitutional rights”
Anti choice
“ law that protects life and sends a message that every life is valuable.”
“Every life is a gift from God, and without life, there is no liberty — that’s why I’m proud to stand up and defend life."
Life is, or should be, more than just a beating heart. Why live it otherwise, if that’s all it consists of?
Life is being able to choose to fail to support your constituents and decide to fly to Cancun because your house is too cold . . . and it’s parents’ being able to feel relatively certain that their children are safe when they’re at school. To not have those things is to not have liberty.
If Cruz can figure out how to stop these sorts of killings without controlling assault weapons then I am all ears. I am just asking him to tell us how to deal with these sorts of mass murders. Texas elected him to solve our problems. Here is a problem we need solved.
