Bless her angry little HEART! Alyssa Milano lashes out after Ted Cruz drops a whole lotta #2A knowledge on her in EPIC thread
You’d think by now that Alyssa Milano would have learned that when you ask stupid questions you win stupid prizes. But oh no, the G-List Actress continues to offer up plenty of Twitchy fodder (we should send her cookies).
This time the ‘Dickie Roberts Child Star’ co-star asked a snotty question about God, guns, and the Bible. Lucky for her, Senator Ted Cruz was more than happy to educate her.
An excellent Q, worth considering carefully w/o the snark of Twitter. It is of course not the right to a modern-day firearm that is God-give 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. 1/x twitter.com/alyssa_milano/…

She asked for it.
Amen.
And to protect themselves from the government if need be.
5/x Stephen Willeford exercised that fundamental right when he risked his own life to stop the Sutherland Springs murderer, saving countless others as a result.

6/x 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....”

Damn, this is good.
7/x “...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.”

8/x 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.

You know this one pissed her off. EL OH EL.
9/x 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.

Hell yeah.
10/x 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.

In other words, take a seat, Alyssa. Take a million of them.
Alyssa got all sorts of cranky with Ted answering her silly question.
I’d love to come in and meet with you on the gun issue and many other issues that include life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, @tedcruz and also, 1 Peter 4:8.
I’ll be in DC next week. We can live-stream the meeting so the American people can hear your bullshit 1st hand. twitter.com/tedcruz/status…

She mad.
I’d be happy to sit down & visit next week about uniting to stop gun violence & about the Constitution. If we can have a civil & positive conversation—in the spirit of 1 Peter 4:8 as you suggest—despite our political differences, that might help resolve the discord in our Nation. twitter.com/alyssa_milano/…

Ever the gentleman.
Please, let this debate happen.
Ha!
