Ted Cruz Accuses Democrats Of Gun Violence “Theater”

The Washington Post reports:

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) accused Democrats of using gun violence to advance their politics, calling their proposals “theater” to take people’s firearms away.

“Every time there’s a shooting, we play this ridiculous theater where this committee gets together and proposes a bunch of laws that would do nothing to stop these murders,” Cruz said in an opening statement during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on gun violence.

“What happens in this committee after every mass shooting is Democrats propose taking away guns from law-abiding citizens because that’s their political objective.”
