Report: Gun Control Spells Political Loss for President Trump; Ted Cruz and Actress to Debate Gun Control After Twitter Fight
By Breitbart. Data gathered by President Trump’s campaign shows he would suffer a loss of support during the 2020 election by supporting gun control.
ABC News reports that the “data is comprised of campaign polling conducted before recent back-to-back mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas, that left 31 dead.”
The data suggests support for stricter background checks among a majority of Americans, but “gun control measures would be unpopular with Trump’s base.” . .
Trump talked about a bipartisan effort for stronger background checks on August 5 and 7, just days after the El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, shootings. Days later he appeared to pivot away from the push. (Read more from “Report: Gun Control Spells Political Loss for President Trump” HERE)

Ted Cruz to Debate Gun Control with Actress Alyssa Milano
By National Review. Following a lengthy Twitter confrontation over how best to respond to the scourge of mass shootings, Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas) and actress Alyssa Milano have agreed to meet in person to debate the issue.
Milano on Sunday challenged her Twitter followers to produce a Biblical passage that would support a God-given right to gun ownership. Cruz responded with a ten-tweet thread detailing how the right to self-defense, if not gun ownership specifically, is in fact enshrined in the Bible.
An excellent Q, worth considering carefully w/o the snark of Twitter. It is of course not the right to a modern-day firearm that is God-give but rather the right to Life & the right to Liberty. Essential to that right to life is the right to DEFEND your life & your family. 1/x https://t.co/8pjstMGrGB

I’m looking forward to it! And if all of us can together have more positive, civil discussion & debate on the substantive issues of the day, that would go a long way to helping unite and heal our divided Nation. https://t.co/HCpLepcohv
