Ted Cruz Gets Gun Group's Endorsement

The Gun Owners of America Tuesday endorsed Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, calling the Texas senator "a strong advocate for Second Amendment rights."

"He will continue to defend our gun rights from the Oval Office," said the group's chairman, Tim Macy. "He has promised gun owners that he will repeal anti-gun executive orders that circumvent Congress and veto anti-gun legislation if it reaches his desk."

Macy also cited Cruz's pro-gun record in the Senate, as well as his stance against Obamacare and illegal immigration.

"We need a stalwart defender of the Second Amendment in the White House," he said. "Ted Cruz will help shoulder the burden of fighting against the gun grabbers dedicated to eviscerating the Second Amendment."
