Choose Your Weapons! Ted Cruz gets it absolutely right! He corrected Dianne Feinstein, the Constitution does not allow her to Choose Her Weapons!

The 2nd Amendment is just too inconvenient for Feinstein and her anti-constitutionalists. Cruz asked, but was never answered, why certain weapons are, in her proposed legislation, allowed to be banned? Then why aren't certain newspapers allowed to be banned under the 1st Amendment?
