Related: About this forumTed Cruz Suggests More Gun Violence Needed To Stop Gun Violence - Ring of Fire
Republican Senator Ted Cruz, during a recent town hall event for the Texas Tribune, said that violence is the only thing that can stop violence while talking about the epidemic of gun violence in America. Cruz didn't even flinch when a heckler called him out for this, and repeated the standard "good guy with a gun" talking points that Republicans have embraced for quite some time. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

(3,839 posts)6. Cruz, along with a host of other Republicans, think their supporters are the stupidest people
in the world. They really expect their supporters to buy this crap. And many of them are the stupidest people in the world and they do buy it.
