It appears the Donkey-Rats are to blame for the Texas shooting:

"This should have been stopped beforehand,” Cruz told Shannon Bream. “Under federal law, it was illegal for this individual to purchase a firearm. He had a conviction for a crime that is punishable by more than a year in prison, and he had a conviction for multiple domestic violence crimes. Both of those – it’s already ineligible.”

With multiple convictions, it’s simply shocking that no one reported that to the FBI. Cruz stated that legislation he and Senator Chuck Grassley had crafted after the Sandy Hook shooting would have aided in preventing this attack.

“In 2013, in the wake of Sandy Hook, I joined with Chuck Grassley, we introduced legislation that was called the Grassley-Cruz legislation. And it was aggressive legislation targeting felons and violent criminals to stop them from getting guns.

There were a couple of elements to that legislation that were critical. One, it mandated that federal agencies, including the Air Force, report to the NICS because that was a problem back then.”

Indeed, the legislation targeted those who would try to purchase guns illegally.

Cruz Task Force. Task Force and $10 million per year for 5 years to prosecute felons and fugitives who try to get guns. Created task force and proposes funding of $10 million per year for five years to prosecute felons and fugitives who fail National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) – funded through the Asset Forfeiture Fund.

If the Democrats want to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, why in God’s name did they oppose this? I guess they are more concerned with attacking people who lawfully own guns for personal protection…

Additionally, he lied on the BATFE form 4473 when he purchased his guns in Colorado.

“That is a felony, to lie on those forms.”

However, the Obama administration was not so keen on prosecuting individuals who lied on these forms, or on those who otherwise tried to buy guns illegally.

“In 2010, 48,000 felons and fugitives lied and tried to illegally purchase guns. They prosecuted only 44 of them.”

If you want to look for someone to blame, look no further than Obozo and his lackey Holder.

Where the law clearly failed, Democrats just ignore that and say, well, let's have more laws.
