Go Cruz!!!!! The other four at the site.
snip:
Sen. Ted Cruz is firing back at The New York Times for calling his support of the Second Amendment “strange” by reminding the paper that he wasn’t the only “ridiculous” one who felt that way about gun rights.
The Texas Republican penned an op-ed for National Review on Sunday, featuring quotes from five gun-loving American patriots, driving home the message that if guns were OK with them, then guns must not be all bad.
Cruz wrote:
“The writer, the lead editor for the Times’ editorial page, continued, ‘I just don’t get the argument on constitutional or historical grounds’.”
“Perhaps this will help. Let’s survey some other ‘silly’ people who have embraced this heretical understanding of our liberties.”
So here we go. Courtesy of Sen. Cruz, five Americans who said they were okay with guns.

“And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms…”
