Sen. Ted Cruz came out with guns blazing today in response to President Obama’s anticipated executive order this week further curtailing Americans’ Second Amendment rights.

Appearing in Iowa during a six-day, 28 county bus tour Monday, Cruz said, “It shouldn’t surprise us that in the final year of his presidency, President Obama is committed to continuing to abuse his executive power in every way, shape and form, and especially to going after our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.”

As President, I will defend our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Join us: https://action.tedcruz.org/trusted-ia-caucus/

“President Obama and Hillary Clinton continually focus on stripping the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens instead of fighting the bad guys,” he said.

“In the wake of the terror attack in San Bernardino, neither Barack Obama nor Hillary Clinton could bring themselves to utter the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism.’

“But what did they want to do? Take away the right to keep and bear arms by law-abiding citizens. It’s entirely backwards.

“We don’t beat the bad guys by taking away our guns. We beat the bad guys by using our guns,” Cruz said.

“And whatever President Obama attempts to do abusing his executive power on the Second Amendment, you can rest assured that on January 20th, 2017 if I am elected president, I will rescind every single illegal and unconstitutional executive order Barack Obama has had.”
