Democrat Beto O'Rourke pushed back on attacks from Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz that he supports revoking Americans' right to own guns, saying he "fully" supports the Second Amendment.
O'Rourke supports judges "that would undermine and effectively write the Second Amendment out of the Constitution," Cruz said during the first debate with O'Rourke, who is challenging Cruz for his Senate seat in Texas.
Cruz added that O'Rourke's position on the Second Amendment is "radical" and extreme," eliciting a "that's not true" from O'Rourke. |

He supports the second amendment until he doesn't.
Democrats like O'Rourke will claim to support the second amendment to get elected. They might even vote favorably on bills where their vote doesn't matter.
When their vote matters like the 1996 gun control act they will vote with the other democrats to restrict our rights.
Don't ever trust a democrat to protect our gun rights. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
