Professional Hollywood radical progressive activist Alyssa Milano has taken her war against conservatism and common sense to the gun arena as she’s now their leading gun control advocate. At least that’s what one can glean from her recent Tweets. Her vision of how she will run the country when she’s finally in control has shifted over the years as she’s gone from #MeToo headmaster to open borders spokesperson, from proud double-abortion princess to her current position as lead interrogator in the fictional NRA trial.
She’s even attacking Bible-believers for their defense of the 2nd Amendment.
Can someone cite which passage of the Bible God states it is a god-given right to own a gun? This guy is unbelievable and is clearly owned by the gun lobby. #NoRA https://t.co/PxVV1RoV2Z

Did someone say “Bible” and “guns” in the same sentence? Cue Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) who happens to be a devout Christian and Constitutional scholar. His 10-Tweet reply was a master’s course on why you shouldn’t try to attack the Bible with the Constitution and visa versa:
2/x The right to self-defense is recognized repeatedly in the Bible, eg Exodus 22:2: “If a thief is caught breaking in at night & is struck a fatal blow, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed.” (Note, though, verse 3 says it IS murder if during daylight (ie, not self-defense).

4/x And, for that reason, the Second Amendment provides “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, SHALL NOT be infringed.” It wasn’t to protect people’s ability to hunt, or to shoot target practice, but to defend their lives, their homes & their families.

6/x St. George Tucker, one of the most important scholars in early America, explained the reasons behind the Second Amendment as follows: “This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty. . . . The right of self defence is the first law of nature….”

8/x That’s also why, post Civil War, disarming Black Americans was a critical objective of the KKK, and was memorialized in countless Jim Crow laws—to strip African-Americans of their God-given right to self-defense from violence.

10/x Playing politics w/ these deranged crimes—and trying to use them as an excuse to violate the constl rights of law-abiding citizens—won’t make anybody safer. Forcible gun confiscation (as some 2020 Dems urge) won’t prevent mass-murders. But it would weaken our self-defense.

There is plenty of criticism that can be laid on those who improperly use the Bible to defend our rights, not because our rights are not God-given but because the arguments are often counterproductive, as Dana Loesch noted earlier today:
Re the “God given” trend today, it’s easy to diminish the actual point of the idea for political jabs on Twitter. Basically, Founders declared certain rights were natural not civil rights, granted by the divine, not given permission to people from other people via courts …
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) September 1, 2019
That said, reducing a complex and nuanced discussion to something along the lines of “God-given guns” is not constructive or remotely in good faith. It also ignores all the other important rights that fall into this category.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) September 1, 2019
But as I countered, albeit while agreeing with her, defending our rights by invoking the Bible is a challenging notion because many who are opposed to these rights do not hold the Bible as an authority at all, let alone the highest documented authority on Earth. Therefore, one must be very careful when using Christian theology as grounds for defending Constitutional rights.
There are times when it is important to maintain a Biblical high ground such as when making an argument for the faith. But legal matters, even when decreed by our founders as God-given, are not subject to this high ground. Any right can be taken away by misguided lawmakers.

Senator Cruz doesn’t need to be careful, as his grasp of the Bible and Constitution are extremely high. He understands that the fact these rights are given by God as Natural Rights and documented as such by the founding fathers to put them above reproach of men is the foundation for proper arguments supporting the 2nd Amendment and other liberties we, as Americans, must protect.
Milano was terribly outmatched in this particular debate. She asked a question and she received the proper answer.
Our rights are above the machinations of authoritarian politicians, their mainstream media lapdogs, and Hollywood’s endless flow of radical progressive virtue signalers. Ted Cruz’s defense of the 2nd Amendment should be memorized by every patriotic American.
