Fox News
Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz joined Hannity to sound off on the bipartisan gun control bill which he said does not protect 4th or 2nd Amendment Rights.

Sen. Pat Toomey, a Pennsylvania Republican who previously worked across the aisle with Sen. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia on joint-namesake reform, was not present for the motion-to-proceed but said in a statement he believes the bill at hand protects the Second Amendment while making "significant progress" on keeping guns from criminals.
On Fox News, Cruz said the Safer Communities Act is "misguided" and condemned its red-flag-law provisions – referring to policies that allow civilians to "red flag" their fellow gun-owning citizens to law enforcement to adjudicate whether they should continue to be able to bear arms.
