Sen. Ted Cruz Explains the Fatal Flaw in Circuit Court Ruling

By Beth Baumann

During a conversation with Mark Levin, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), pointed out the hypocrisy of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals decision on Maryland’s “assault weapons” ban, which keeps a list of “assault weapons” out of the hands of the law-abiding gun owners.

“The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has invented this new test for the Second Amendment. Here’s what their test said: the Second Amendment doesn’t protect a weapon if it would be useful in a military context.”

“This test isn’t just sort of questionable. It isn’t just a little bit out there. It is nuts!” Cruz exclaimed. “The Second Amendment was designed explicitly to protect weapons used in a military context.
