Via the Right Scoop and Mediaite, a point of divergence from conservative orthodoxy by CPAC’s newest scheduled speaker. The urban/rural distinction was actually a key part of Breyer’s dissent in the Heller case five years ago that established an individual right to bear arms under the Second Amendment:
[H]andguns are not only popular tools for crime, but popular objects of it as well: the FBI received on average over 274,000 reports of stolen guns for each year between 1985 and 1994, and almost 60% of stolen guns are handguns… Department of Justice studies have concluded that stolen handguns in particular are an important source of weapons for both adult and juvenile offenders. Ibid.
Statistics further suggest that urban areas, such as the District, have different experiences with gun-related death, injury, and crime, than do less densely populated rural areas. A disproportionate amount of violent and property crimes occur in urban areas, and urban criminals are more likely than other offenders to use a firearm during the commission of a violent crime… Homicide appears to be a much greater issue in urban areas; from 1985 to 1993, for example, “half of all homicides occurred in 63 cities with 16% of the nation’s population.”… One study concluded that although the overall rate of gun death between 1989 and 1999 was roughly the same in urban than rural areas, the urban homicide rate was three times as high; even after adjusting for other variables, it was still twice as high… And a study of firearm injuries to children and adolescents in Pennsylvania between 1987 and 2000 showed an injury rate in urban counties 10 times higher than in nonurban counties…
Finally, the linkage of handguns to firearms deaths and injuries appears to be much stronger in urban than in rural areas...

Truth is Doctor, I have the right to own an "assault" weapon, or any other weapon I can afford to purchase and care to own, anyplace I want to own it - for the same reason Rosa Parks had a right to ride on the front of that bus in Montgomery, AL all those years ago. It's not a question of "needs". It's my right.
I knew Carson would screw the pooch, sooner or later.
the second amendment only applies in certain areas?
Dr. Ben Carson - “City people are just too stupid to be trusted guns. Well, maybe single-shots. I’ll decide later.”
/s
If you look at the numbers, “urban areas” just become code for “urban blacks”.
Back to the liberal roots goes he.
I knew he was to good to be true
bump
No, Dr. Carson—the 2nd doesn’t say anything about who can own what.
There are already way too many infringements on the Second Amendment (which shall not infringed) as it is.
Crawl back into whatever hole you came from and leave us the heck alone!
If you live in one of those 50 colored blotches, your right to own a semiautomatic shall not be abridged.
He didn’t even get his full 15 minutes in. So much with the rights infatuation of him. Good riddance. Do other liberties only apply in certain areas too? It is okay to force the quartering troops in MO but not WA.
Idiot.

Groan, indeed.
Our constitution (you know, that old fashioned relic, you can maybe find a copy buried away at the library?)
Our constitution provides no role for government in this matter. None at all.
And the constitution certainly also does not limit or define your rights according to whether you live in the city limits or outside them.
Barf! Why do so many people ignore our social contract in this country nowadays? (It is a pretty good one, especially when you look at those that are trying to destroy us -— Islamofascism, Communist Chin, ... maybe? One thing all the dictatorial or oppressive regimes have in common is “gun control to protect the people”)...go figure.
