Rafael Cruz: ‘Praise God There Are 300 Million Guns In America’

Ted Cruz’s dad, Rafael, is in love with guns. The campaign surrogate believes President Obama is about to confiscate them, which is why it’s so great there are so many of them.
The elder Cruz managed to turn the subject to guns after he fielded a question about whether the federal government should crack down on states like Colorado that have legalized marijuana. Cruz said that the federal government must enforce its drug laws in such situations because, as he explained, the people of Colorado want them to, even though a referendum legalizing marijuana passed with 55 percent of the vote.

This led him to rail against President Obama for considering executive actions on gun law reform, which he cited as another case of the administration flouting the law.
“He’s talking about doing an executive order to put gun control because he can push gun control,” he said. “Let me tell you something about gun control. Look at history. Every king or dictator that has taken the guns away from the population then use it against the population. But praise God there are 300 million guns in America in the hands of private citizens and I don’t know a single one that is willing to give those guns back to the government.”
