Gun Owners of America Endorses Ted Cruz for President

Gun Owners of America is proud to endorse Senator Ted Cruz for the office of President of the United States.

While there are many candidates in the race, Ted Cruz is the only one who has completed and returned the GOA presidential survey on the Second Amendment.

Cruz has been a strong advocate for Second Amendment rights as a U.S. Senator, and he will continue to defend our gun rights from the Oval Office.

It's the OP way of saying "You support the 2A so you support Ted Cruise" or some such silly shit.

In the old days they'd next start baiting to see who would get emotional enough to respond and then get a poster banned. They just don't have enough people to properly execute the trap anymore. That and our own emotion driven posters have mostly been weeded out after the Sandy purge a few years back.

Isn't this the same OP that a few days ago was trying to get a thread here locked for being outside the SOP?

Add hypocrisy to the list of things that die hard.

That thinks since he is a host of a group he can run this one.

Yep, the hypocrisy is strong in some.

It's always pissed me off when groups come out and endorse someone without even knowing the opponent. Hell in this case they don't even know who the GOP candidate is going to be.

Duck of the same species have been seen gathering in groups...

GOA and Trump are both radical idiots so is it surprising they flock?

How much time do you spend perusing and linking to far-right websites? Compared to American Clarion, Fox News is "fair and balanced".

12. Ted Cruz Said He's "Honored" By Endorsement From Gun Group Once Linked To White Supremacists
Fri Sep 18, 2015, 08:25 AM
Sep 2015
During CNN's September 16 GOP presidential candidate debate, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said he was "honored to be endorsed by Gun Owners of America as the strongest supporter of the Second Amendment on the stage today." GOA has donated money to a white supremacist group, opposes any background checks on gun sales, and advocates for guns in kindergarten classrooms. Its leader, Larry Pratt, has suggested mass shootings are staged by the government and has past ties to white supremacist and anti-Semitic organizations.

What's that got to do with us?
Are you trying to imply that because we support the 2nd Amendment that we somehow support Ted?

Disrespect the group and the host by basically spamming the group with near 1000 posts with no comment or discussion per the SOP.

Note to jurors, please look at the number of posts by him with no comment and look at the group SOP.

Hmm, good question- I'd say 'A number of time-outs equivalent to 1/10th the number of spam
and/or disruptive posts required to qualify a poster for banning from a group will result
in revocation of DU membership'

In which case GGJ could remain a DU member for a while yet- but certain other posters,
however, would be in danger of being blocked from groups they often post in...
