Sen. Ted Cruz's challenger in the upcoming 2024 election, Rep. Colin Allred , once said that it would have been"better" if the Second Amendment"had not been written."
The statement that Allred made was during a campaign event in 2018 when he was discussing the interpretation and viability of the Second Amendment. During this discussion, Allred said that the Second Amendment states that"the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed," adding that there are"two ideas" to this, according to video journalists dug up.
In 2021, Allred co-sponsored a bill on universal background check legislation, with the bill criminalizing private gun sales conducted without an FBI background check. Outside of Allred, the other co-sponsors of this bill included Reps. Adam Schiff , Hakeem Jeffries , Rashida Tlaib Rashida , and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez .
When asked about Allred's past statement on the Second Amendment, his campaign manager Paige Hutchinson claimed that Allred"supports common-sense reforms and respects the rights of law-abiding gun owners.""He proudly supported Sen. Cornyn’s bipartisan bill to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people, which Ted Cruz voted against," Hutchinson told Fox News Digital.
Allred, who has widely been seen as a rising star within the House Democratic Caucus, announced his run against Cruz on Wednesday. Cruz has indicated he is running for reelection.
