Founding of LST
After his last debate with free loader Bernie Sanders, Cruz decided to celebrate his victory by taking a nice vacation to Houston, TX. His goal was to go see his favorite YouTube Gun Enthusiast and Expert, Greg Kinman AKA Hickok45. During his visit however, the bombs begin to drop.

Cruz recalls chatting with Kinman and attempting to take a selfie with the behemoth. Once the bombs started to fall and shake the building, Kinman tackled and laid ontop of Cruz, assuring his safety. Once everything was over and the realization that the United States was no longer, Cruz saw the opportunity to finally become president of his own country, with or without the delegates.

"I remember being shaken by the blast, but luckily my pal, and VP Greg Kinman was there to protect me"-- President Ted Cruz circa 2017 Cruz successfully took hold of this opportunity and rounded up all the people to follow under his command. He inspired them to not lose hope and to rebuild and see this is as their chance to finally be their own country, free from the hands of the dirty liberals. Cruz then tried to recruit Kinman as his military leader, assisting him in all of his presidential decisions. Kinman was reluctant at first, but seeing as how there was no way for him to go home and all the people needing his assistance he decided to stay and assist him on the condition that when he gets the chance to go home he will.

Laws and Reformations

 * Firearms are mandatory for every head of the household so long as they have not been charged for any crimes in the past 5 years. *if one was jailed for something that is no longer illegal than that crime no longer counts* If the head has not chosen any firearm than one will be appointed to them at a discounted price by the country. They can choose between the Glock-17, Maverick 88, or a H&R 1871 Handi-Rifle Synthetic. A minimum of one week daily training is also now mandatory if one did not have a firearm prior to the establishment. Failure to comply with the law is a $500 fine.
