In the second clip, Senator Cruz notes that he argued the Heller case before the Supreme Court (which he won), and\u00a0shreds\u00a0the case the MSNBC talking heads tried to make. \u00a0Just to add insult to injury, one of the MSNBC talking heads, who is supposed to be their token conservative, accuses the NRA of playing games with language for using the correct term &#8220;semi-automatic&#8221; rifle instead of the nonsense term &#8220;Assault\u00a0Weapon.&#8221; \u00a0Anyone who has bother to do the basic research on the subject would know that the term &#8220;Assault Weapon&#8221; was coined by victim disarmament\u00a0activist Josh Sugarman. \u00a0He\u00a0deliberately wanted to confuse people by implying that semi-automatic weapons were fully automatic weapons that have been under strict federal regulation since 1936.<\/p>\n<p>Another example is Rachel Maddow, supposedly the &#8220;smart&#8221; one at MSNBC attacking House Minority Leader Boehner for, correctly, stating that US Constitution has a\u00a0preamble.
