Senator Ted Cruz CPAC Speech

Laura Ingraham hosted Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.

Cruz said he and other senators are insisting on a 60 vote threshold for legislation on issues that are affected by the Constitution such as gun control.  He pointed to the Obama administration's Justice Department not prosecuting felons who try to obtain guns.  Instead they are trying to take away the rights of law abiding citizens.  He feels the criticism is silly as there will be debates and votes.  He noted that senators don't know what the bill says as the Democrats haven't released the bill's details.  Ingraham added that names of gun buyers would be kept track of.  He objects to transfers of guns among people being maintained in a federal gun registry which he deems unconstitutional and the predicate to gun taxation and seizure.  The emphasis should be on criminals and that the Bill of Rights should be protected.
