Our children have the constitutional right to not be slaughtered regularly by AR15s.
Except when it comes to abortion.
Then it's a different story.

Who else buys a new "assault weapon" (not really assault weapons, those are select-fire) every time someone makes an asinine suggestion like this? Your hysteria/tear jerking funds the gun industry, FYI.
Getting ready to head to my local FFL and grab one of those Anderson's for ~450. Same day transfer, of course. Takes about ~25-30 mins to walk in-walk out. Very convenient. Not quite as convenient as buying online though, from private sellers. Which is also legal.

Sure, as long as they are afforded due process..
Otherwise you're infringing on Constitutional rights for arbitrary reasons.
Do you believe mental illness didn't exist in the founder's day? It was far more misunderstood then, actually. Yet, the second amendment is CONSPICUOUSLY silent when it comes to mentally ill, felons, etc.
Obviously I have no problem with felons losing their gun rights, simply because they're afforded due process. Provided the "mentally ill" are also afforded those same protections, I say go for it.
Otherwise, infringing on anyone's rights is unacceptable for any reason. Why should one group of people lose their rights simply to protect the rights of another group? That isn't how the Constitution works my friend. There is no equity built in to those equations.
It is individual rights and rugged individualism. One for one, and you for you. Friends, family and neighbors pulling together to accomplish great things, and our nation achieving at the highest level compared to other nations.
We are exceptional. We are great. And it is this way because of our Constitution.

The problem is the inconsistency when it comes to 'saving the kiddies'.

Apparently Cruz got one of his guns from the White Nationalist.
