Does Ted Cruz read bills before he votes? Not by the information he puts into his news letters.

This information is from a newsletter he emailed to his constituents.

A VICTORY FOR THE SECOND AMENDMENT

A major victory for the Second Amendment and all of the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens took place on Wednesday. The Senate held votes on creating a pathway to a national gun registry, banning "assault weapons," arbitrarily limiting the size of magazines, and the rest of President Obama's anti-gun agenda. Sen. Cruz led the fight against those measures, and all were rejected. You can listen to Sen. Cruz speak with Mark Levin about this victory for the Second Amendment here. While this is good news, the fight isn't over, and Sen. Cruz will continue to defend the Second Amendment rights of law abiding-citizens.

In addition, Sen. Cruz joined Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) in introducing the “Protecting Communities and Preserving the Second Amendment Act” which would have provided resources to stop violent crime while protecting the Second Amendment by targeting criminals rather than law-abiding citizens. Click here to view the video of Sen. Cruz presenting the amendment on the Senate floor. Unfortunately, the amendment failed to pass when 47 Senate Democrats led by Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) voted against this bipartisan legislation.


If Crazy Cruz would have read the bill he would have known it made making a national register a crime, Cruz should be ask on the floor each and every time if he has read the bills, there will be lots of gotcha moments.
