Now that it’s the policy of the Obama Administration to arm rebels in Syria — including a large terrorist organization with strong ties to al-Qaeda — Sen. Ted Cruz (R-AZ) asked President Barack Obama via Twitter if he would perform background checks before our government provides them with weapons:
Anyone know if President Obama intends to perform background checks on the Syrian rebels before providing them weapons?

Yep, folks, that’s right. President Obama wants to make the process tougher for law-abiding Americans to get a weapon for self-defense, but he’s totes cool with arming al-Qaeda. Seems legit, right?
