I do not wish to trust my precious Second Amendment rights to a moderate. I do not wish to trust my precious Second Amendment rights to a man who is known for compromise. I do not wish to trust my precious Second Amendment rights to a man who distorts the truth about an opponent in an attempt to dupe the public into voting for him. I do not wish to trust my Second Amendment rights to a man who openly denies the truth when faced with the facts in a televised debate. These are large issues of character, that I cannot overlook.

I am willing to trust my Second Amendment rights to a grass root conservative, whom I believe understands, has fought for, and will continue uphold, the Constitution. I will vote for Ted Cruz and pray that you will also.
You have no idea what Dewhurst has done to make sure pro-gun legislation got votes in the Senate. If you want to support Cruz, then do so, but don't demean what the Lt. Governor has done for Texas gun owners.

Charles, I'm on the fence between the two. I think it's not very fair to voters like us to say we have no idea, when that's exactly the problem. Alice's column wasn't convincing, so can you color in the gap between Alice's statements and yours, so that we can exit from the "have no idea" void? Just seems like if a guy like you likes him for what he's done, we should know how sincere he is about supporting the issues that are important to this community.
