Marco Rubio Has a Second Amendment Problem / Criticizes Gun Control, Does Not Mention His Vote for 1999 Gun Ban
During the March 3 GOP debate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)
criticized gun control as “not effective” against criminals but did not mention his vote for a 1999 gun ban while a city commissioner in West Miami.

Breitbart has uncovered a video that once and for all settles the dispute between Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Marco Rubio. Last week Cruz accused Rubio of voting to “ban guns from city parks” when he served as commissioner in West Miami City in 1999.
According to reporters the Rubio campaign fired back saying Cruz’s allegation was a lie:
“Senator Cruz is getting increasingly desperate and giving up on trying to tell voters the truth. Marco is proud of his strong support for and record of standing up for the Second Amendment and no amount of Cruz lies can change that.”
The vote to ban guns too place on March 3, 1999. In the video below you can see Marco Rubio and three other Miami commissioners unanimously vote in favor of the gun ban

From a letter from Gun Owners of America today to members:
"And not only was Rubio caught red-handed in a lie -- about a significant and unambiguous misrepresentation -- he was caught accusing others of “lying,” when in fact, it was Rubio himself who was not telling the truth.
As we said, politicians make mistakes. And Marco Rubio’s misrepresentation won’t be the worst mistake he’s made this week. (His worst mistake would be continuing his campaign in a context where the only conceivable outcome would be to prevent the pro-gun Cruz from seizing the nomination.)
But, just as Ted Cruz fired a top staffer in order to maintain the reality and appearance of scrupulous honestly, we do believe that Rubio owes Cruz an apology for his undeniable and conspicuous lie against him.
Incidentally, Cruz’ scrupulous honesty -- in the face of child-like, baseless, repeated accusations -- reaffirms Gun Owners of America in our decision to endorse Ted Cruz as, frankly, “the only adult in room” in a field of Republican candidates who appear, increasingly, like playground bullies".
