Ted Cruz fires back at Gregg Popovich after Spurs coach talked 'myth' of Second Amendment
Fox News
Sen. Ted Cruz snapped back at San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich for his take on tighter gun control and the "myth" of the Second Amendment.
"But they’re going to cloak all this stuff [in] the myth of the Second Amendment, the freedom," he said, in part. "You know, it's just a myth. It’s a joke. It’s just a game they play. I mean, that's freedom. Is it freedom for kids to go to school and try to socialize and try to learn and be scared to death that they might die that day?"
"But Ted Cruz will fix it because he is going to double the number of cops in the schools. That’s what he wants to do. Well, that’ll create a great environment. Is that freedom? Or is it freedom to have a congressman who can make a postcard with all his family holding rifles, including an AR-15 or whatever. Is that cool? Is that like street cred for a Republican? That’s freedom? That’s more important than protecting kids? I don’t get it."
