Ted Cruz Schools Alyssa Milano With a Lesson On Our God-Given Right to Self Defense

On Sunday, actress and liberal activist asked on social media about whether or not self-defense was a God-given right–that’s when Senator Ted Cruz gave her a thorough lesson.

If You Ask…

“Can someone cite which passage of the Bible God states it is a god-given right to own a gun?” Milano tweeted. “This guy is unbelievable and is clearly owned by the gun lobby. #NoRA”

Milano’s tweet was a response Texas State Rep. Matt Schaefer (R-Tyler), who gave a strong rebuke to anti-gun liberals in response to shooting tragedy in Odessa, Texas, in which a man took the lives of 7 people and injuring almost two down.

A Second Amendment Lesson from Ted Cruz

But Milano probably bit off more than she could chew when Cruz intervened.

“An excellent Q, worth considering carefully w/o the snark of Twitter,” Cruz tweeted in response Milano’s query. “It is of course not the right to a modern-day firearm that is God-give[n] but rather the right to Life & the right to Liberty. Essential to that right to life is the right to DEFEND your life & your family.”

“The right to self-defense is recognized repeatedly in the Bible, eg Exodus 22:2: ‘If a thief is caught breaking in at night & is struck a fatal blow, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed.’ (Note, though, verse 3 says it IS murder if during daylight (ie, not self-defense),” Cruz continued. “The Declaration of Independence acknowledges our rights thusly: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.'”

“And, for that reason, the Second Amendment provides ‘the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, SHALL NOT be infringed.’ It wasn’t to protect people’s ability to hunt, or to shoot target practice, but to defend their lives, their homes & their families,” Cruz added. “Stephen Willeford exercised that fundamental right when he risked his own life to stop the Sutherland Springs murderer, saving countless others as a result.”

“St. George Tucker, one of the most important scholars in early America, explained the reasons behind the Second Amendment as follows: ‘This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty. . . The right of self defence is the first law of nature….,'” Cruz continued. “‘…in most govts it has been the study of rulers to confine this right w/in the narrowest limits possible. Wherever…the right…to keep & bear arms is, under any…pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction.'”

“That’s also why, post Civil War, disarming Black Americans was a critical objective of the KKK, and was memorialized in countless Jim Crow laws—to strip African-Americans of their God-given right to self-defense from violence,” Cruz continued. “I’m a Texan. What happened in Midland-Odessa—and El Paso, Santa Fe & Sutherland Springs—was sick, deranged & horrifying. We need to do MUCH more to stop violent criminals & those w/ dangerous mental illness BEFORE they murder & I’m leading the fight in the Senate to do so.”

Cruz concluded, “Playing politics w/ these deranged crimes—and trying to use them as an excuse to violate the constl rights of law-abiding citizens—won’t make anybody safer. Forcible gun confiscation (as some 2020 Dems urge) won’t prevent mass-murders. But it would weaken our self-defense.”

Think She Learned Anything?

Ted Cruz delivered one of the best lessons one could imagine on the importance of the God-given right to self-defense.

Did Alyssa Milano learn anything? I wouldn’t bet on it.
