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.

Democrat Party philosophy for “making America great:” get drunk, get pregnant/impregnate, have an abortion/support abortion of “American kids;” fight “for the right” of illegal immigrants to be able to vote in American elections. Support homosexuality. Accuse all others of doing what you do and deny what you are doing.
Republican Party philosophy for “making America great:” listen to the democrats, give them credit for being “Americans,” be afraid of what the democrats could do to the children of other people, investigate abortion issues, deny all subversive plots by BOTH parties; go to church, pray, get mad when others don’t do what you do. Kick up the dust and walk away; then introduce a new taxes to pay for cleaning up the mess.
Jesus himself said, a strong man armed does not have to fear a thief, at least not one that isn’t better armed. What’s with the guns and the Bible? She’s the sort of person who would have taken away the slingshot and sent David to meet Goliath with well chosen language.

Does not have conscience..she sold her soul to the devil. She never understands that she committed murder.

Guns are SELF DEFENSE TOOLS. KEY WORDS: self defense. Half of the country is under attack; and so far, virtually no self defense has taken place. Stupid can defeat intelligent due to the large numbers of stupids, and the small number of truly intelligent people; and the large number of apathetic cowards.
Does Milano employ Armed protection? How about the rest of the “NO GUN” entertainment & media people? We know that the hypocritical Senators and
Congressmen have armed protection. None of these sleeze bags deserve it if WE THE PEOPLE DO NOT. Get that in your bonnets.

I doubt Mr. Cruz’s response made her as happy as when she killed her two unborn babies. Milano has such compassion and wisdom.
Ted is spot on. and Alyssa is annoying at best.
Outstanding, sage and mature response Ted! Alyssa, please take a lesson. READ about history. If you want to brow beat someone or an entity, look into Margaret Sangar and the Democrat Party entity know as KKK. Please Alyssa, go take History 101 and put the mind in gear before your mouth goes in motion.
ALysso Milano has been mentally ill since her attempts at acting failed and she resorted to soft porn. Her Mommy needs to come save her again, this time from “acting” as though she has any sense at all.

Excellent points, Senator Cruz. Let’s hope she learned something. Some people just aren’t teachable.
There is NO question of eligibility. It does not matter that he was born in Canada. He was born a U.S. citizen by reason of his mother’s citizenship and residency history, as spelled out in the law in place at the time.

What an OUTSTANDING answer from Senator Cruz. He gave her lots of information, answered her question, had zero vitriol and just gently schooled her, should she wish to pay attention. He would make a wonderful president, though I’m unsure of his eligibility. But I really, really respect him.
The question of whether it’s a “God Given Right” to own a gun is irrelevant to the discussion. The fact is it’s a matter of the laws and the rights we enjoy as Americans… the constitution gives us that right and nothing the Hollywood cabal says can obliterate that!!!

Facebook temporarily banned me for posting something that violates THEIR policy. A counter set of articles is being created to “counter” the FACTS I posted. Facebook promotes a wide variety of FALSE and MISLEADING “news,” and believes they have social media down to a brainwashing science wherein any given 24 hr period; they can erase from the minds of millions, the reality we all question. THEIR “FACTS” ARE CORRECT; so any FACT that does not support THEIR “facts” (liberal LIES 90% of the time if not 99%). I started a storm on facebook that facebook is combating with a “You need to fact check before you post!” campaign. Only their ‘facts’ are facts. Illegals should be allowed to vote, digestive tract waste organs are also for male on male sex ejaculation behaviors; children should be introduced to adult sex by age 10; the Catholic church has 100% resolved their homosexual/pedophilia activity to the approval of Jesus; abortion is a beautiful thing, WAR is more glorious than abortion, the police have NO desire to confiscate all the firearms from the slave classes and then use guns on them to force them to accept the burden of supporting the people who support the liberal facts. If you don’t like it, just leave. How much longer do you think it will be before we have civil war? The dems are pushing hard for a civil war, what are they going to use as weapons? Should make those weapons illegal? Or do we fight the next war with pocket knives before they are made illegal?
And then Pitcairn went to sea and discovered an island where Mr. Christian and his crew ran off to and lived happily ever after, YAY! …Not exactly true, but Senator Cruz hit the nail on the head, as always!

I would say that Sen. Cruz missed the real point of the 2nd amendment. Home defense against criminals is not the main point. That amendment was adopted in 1790. At that time, it was only 15 years since Gen. Gage, commanding the British troops in Boston, sent a battalion of Royal Marines under Maj. Pitcairn out to Concord in America’s first gun control act, to confiscate guns and ammunition kept there. Those writing and those passing the 2nd amendment were acutely aware that the Revolution would have been impossible if Americans did not own their own guns. The 2nd Amendment is the only safeguard against tyranny. What happens if a president is elected who decides to suppress free speech? Who either intimidates, ignores or removes the Supreme Court? Who declares the Christian religion to be “hate speech” not protected by the Constitution? What if he has majorities in both houses of Congress willing to back him up on that? This is all the more important since the Senate became popularly elected a little over 100 years ago. There is no buffer against “the turbulence and follies of democracy,” in the words of James Madison.

Ted Cruz is da man! He reps every citizen in the USA period not just his fellow Texans he took the time to help me with an issue and I live in oregon. When my states senators would send me automated emails Ted Cruz took the time to help me just as he would a family member. that my fellow citizens is how a true senator and patriot citizen behaves!
Thank you Senator! I doubt if she learned anything, not that she stupid, but because she is an evil, money hungry power seeker. She couldn`t care less about the truth !

Our constitution states “arms” .. What is “arms” ?? Anything available to the military is available to the public.. This means machine guns and canon. “Shall not be infringed”. Keep and bare.. means no permit is necessary to carry.. open or concealed.

Milano and the rest of the lunatic left always spews this garbage. Yet, hypocrisy always follows close behind. For example, remember Madonna wanted to ban guns? Yeah, until she chased off a burglar with a handgun several years ago. Whoopi Goldberg is against you owning automatic weapons. Unless you have a special government license, no one is allowed to own automatic weapons. What Whoopi and the other loons keep getting wrong is the difference between semi-automatic and automatic. So, if you ban semi-auto rifles, the next ban will be on semi-auto pistols.
Ted Cruz is absolutely correct in everything he said about the 2nd Amendment and the natural, unalienable, God given rights of every citizen of the USA. However, I doubt that the mental midgets of Hollywood who blabber about gun control on a daily basis have the capability of learning anything of use. They will continue to be the brain washed sheep of the socialists/communists who are determined to undermine the Constitution and destroy the greatest nation the world has ever known just to further their totalitarian goal to take over of the world.

Since the Constitution doesn’t talk about hunting too much, does that mean the right to “bear” arms is only for self protection from grizzlies? ;-)

THANK YOU FOR STANDING UP FOR US GUN OWNERS.
You told her like it is but I doubt that she understood what you told her. I believe that the people who want to disarm law abiding citizens of their 2nd amendment rights have a bigger agenda in mind. We need to ask ourselves what is the real reason why they want to disarm Americans. The democrats care nothing about American lives and they prove it every time they fight so hard to not just allow but to talk young women into killing their babies. Vote for republicans in 2020 and let’s take the house back and get this wall built and the immigrations laws fixed plus a bunch of other laws that either need to be changed or made to help MAGA.

I doubt she has the sense to know that she was ‘chewed up and spit out’ without so much as a blink from Ted Cruz.g
I’m relatively certain neither she nor most of the commiecrats are familiar enough with the Constitution or the Federalist Papers to have a clue about what he said. It is more like talking to the people on Mt. Rushmore than talking to live people.
If she read the Bible, she would know the answer.
